3. Details The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, a 5 second delay occurs at startup. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is 5, 6, 8, 4, 7. a) One Minute Fill Cycle LED 8 is on. - Page 16 the control board setting, pump-out cycle occurs every cycle, or every 2nd, 5th, or 10th cycle (S1 dip switch 5 & 6). e) Normal Harvest Cycle LEDs 5, 6, and 8 are on. Comp continues to run, HGV remains open and WV opens. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C).

Page 17: Service Diagnosis
B. Service Diagnosis WARNING • The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • Risk of electric shock. Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all loads. - Page 18 4) Initial Harvest Cycle – The inlet water valve remains energized, contactor coil energizes to start the compressor (and fan motor on a remote condenser unit), and the hot gas valve energizes. The evaporator warms and the thermistor senses 48°F (9°C). The control board then receives the thermistor’s 3.9 kΩ signal and turns operation of harvest over to the harvest timer.

machine to complete the freeze cycle and the following harvest cycle before shutting down the machine. When the bin control is activated, the “POWER OK” LED flashes. There is a delay before the shutdown sequence begins. The delay varies depending on the cycle the icemaker is in at the time of activation. - Page 21 WARNING CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the icemaker is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen into the ice storage bin. 1) Remove the louver. Move the control switch to the “OFF” position, then unplug the appliance.

IV. Refrigeration Circuit and Component Service Information WARNING • This appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or plug with damp hands. -
Page 42: Refrigerant Recovery
1. Refrigerant Recovery The icemaker is provided with a low-side refrigerant access valve. Using proper refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant from the access valve and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. After recovery is complete, install a proper, permanent high-side access valve. -
Page 43: Component Service Information
Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. For the required refrigerant charge, see the nameplate. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets AHRI Standard 700 (latest edition) be used. -
