3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position. A 5-sec. delay occurs. CB red "POWER OK" LED and CB green "BC CLOSED" LED turn on. If CB yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on (indicating a full bin), check BC. Move ice away from BC actuator paddle.
Page 14
4) 1-Min. Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV and X11 relay energize. After 1 min., CB checks for a closed FS. If FS is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If harvest cycle begins (Comp, HGVs, and FMR energized), continue to step 5a. If FS is open, WV remains energized until FS closes (low water safety protection during initial start up and at the end of each harvest).
Page 15
5b) Harvest Pump Timer – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2 and S5 dip switch 4). When WV de-energizes, LED 4 turns off, X11 relay de-energizes and LED 3 turns on.
Page 16
a) Freeze Cycle Diagnosis: Confirm Comp, FMR, and PM continue. Confirm that LLVs energize. Next, confirm HGVs, X10 and X12 relays de-energize. During the first 5 min. of freeze, confirm evaporator is cooling. If not, confirm WV de-energized (not leaking by), HGVs de-energized (not bypassing), LLVs energizes, TXV and HM operate correctly, Comp is efficient, and refrigerant charge is correct.
Page 17
g) Freeze Termination Diagnosis: After 5 min. in freeze, disconnect CB K5 FS connector. 15 sec. later appliance should switch out of the freeze cycle (15 second delay after FS opens before terminating the freeze cycle). If appliance remains in freeze longer than 15 sec.
Page 18
b) CB Diagnosis: Confirm LLVs de-energize. If LLVs are energized with LEDs 1, 3, and 2 on, replace CB. If PM does not stop and restart and DV does not energize, check that CB LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. If not, replace CB. If LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on and X12 relay is not energized, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #5 (DBU) to neutral (W).
Page 19
2. Shutdown Diagnosis When BC is activated (BC open), the yellow "BC OPEN" LED comes on. The icemaker then shuts down as outlined in the table below. Cycle at Bin Shutdown Control Activation Fill Cycle 15 seconds after activation. Harvest Cycle At the end of the harvest cycle, or up to 15 seconds into the freeze cycle if activated at the end of the harvest cycle.
C. Control Board Check Before replacing CB that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on CB while CB is beeping.

4) To verify voltage output from CB to the components, slide the CB K1 connector out far enough to allow multimeter lead contact. With the icemaker in the cycle to be tested, check output voltage from the corresponding pin on CB K1 connector to a neutral (W). If output voltage is not found and the appropriate LED is on, replace CB.
D. Bin Control Check and Cleaning This unit uses a BC with a lever-actuated proximity switch to control the ice level in the storage bin. No adjustment is required. BC is connected to CB red K4 connector. When calling for ice, BC proximity switch is closed (green "BC CLOSED" LED on). When BC actuator paddle is engaged, BC proximity switch opens (yellow "BC OPEN"...
