EvapFM de-energize. Note: EvapFM continues on CRMR60 and CRMR72. Diagnosis: If temperature has cooled to setpoint and Comp and ConFM do not de-energize, check CTh continuity. If CTh defective, replace CTh. Note: EvapFM de-energizes with Comp on CRMR27 and CRMR48 and continues on CRMR60 and CRMR72.
2. Prep Table 1) Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. 2) Remove the rear panel. 3) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet. 4) Startup/Cool Down–Temperature above setpoint. CTh closed. Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM energize. Diagnosis: Check that Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM energize. If not, confirm that the appliance is not in a defrost cycle.
Diagnosis: Defrost Initiation: Manually advance DT cam to terminate DT. Confirm Comp and ConFM de-energize or remain de-energized and on auxiliary code C-6 and later, confirm EvapFM de-energizes. For CRMR48-xx aux. code C-7 and later and all other aux. code D-8 and later, confirm DH energizes. If not, replace DT. Defrost Termination: Advance DT cam to terminate DT.

6a) Defrost Early DT's were designed with 8-hr. interval and 20-min. defrost cycle. Later DT's were designed with 6-hr. interval and 25-min. defrost cycle. Manual advance in and out of defrost by turning the defrost dial is quickest way to troubleshoot components.
B2. Thermistor/Control Module 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. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices. •...

3) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet. If appliance was in defrost when power supply was disconnected, defrost is terminated and normal cooling cycle begins when power supply is reconnected. 4) Startup/Cool Down–There is a slight delay (solid red LED for 5 sec., then flashing green LED).
Page 21
5) Cool Down Achieved–Temperature cools to setpoint. Comp and ConFM de-energize. UC/WT Refrigerators and Freezers: EvapFM de-energizes. Prep Table: EvapFM continues. Diagnosis: If temperature setpoint achieved and Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM (except PT models) does not de-energize, check CTh and TD continuity. If CTh or TD is defective, replace.
Page 22
Defrost Diagnosis: 1) Manual-Initiation or Time-Initiation: TD rotated to max. position and back or 6-hr. or 80hr. DT terminates. After rotating TD several times and defrost still not activated, wait 1 to 2 min. and repeat process. Replace TD as needed. (2) CM Diagnosis: Confirm DH energizes (if applicable) and Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM (if applicable) de-energize.
C. Defrost Timer Check The defrost timer (DT) starts once the appliance in plugged into the electrical outlet. There are 2 possible interval and defrost cycle times: 8-hr./20min. and 6-hr./25min. 1. Defrost Timer Before replacing a DT that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, conduct the folowing check procedure.
D. Control Module Check 1. Control Module Before replacing a CM that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Always choose a neutral (W) to establish a good power supply and neutral connection to CM: 115VAC at CM 2 (L) (BR) 2.
Page 25
b) Prep Table: DTh warms to 44°F (6.6°C). DH de-energizes. Confirm continuity of DTh. Replace as needed. If DTh is good and DH continues after DTh achieves 44°F (6.6°C), replace CM. c) Freezer: DTh warms to 45°F (7°C) or 50°F (10°C). DH de-energizes. Confirm continuity of DTh.
E. Diagnostic Table Before consulting the diagnostic tables, check the following: • Check the cabinet temperature control setting. See the table for default cabinet temperature control settings. Model Default Cabinet Temperature Approximate Default Temperature Control Setting Undercounter Between 4 and 5 Refrigerator: 34°F (1°C) Worktop Freezer: -5°F (-21°C)
Page 27
Appliance Not Cooling - Possible Cause Compressor External Protector Dirty condenser. Condenser fan motor not operating. Defective. Start relay defective. Low charge. Start capacitor (if applicable) defective. Compressor Defective. Condenser Dirty. Evaporator Dirty or frozen up. Refrigerant/Refrigerant Lines Gas leak. Refrigerant lines or components restricted.
III. Controls and Adjustments A. Temperature Settings 1. Temperature Reading A thermometer with both °F and °C scales is mounted in the cabinet. See Fig. 1. 2. Cabinet Temperature The appliance features a cabinet temperature control dial (TD). The warmest setting is 1 and the coldest setting is 7.
Page 29
2. Prep Table and Freezer Time-Initiated Defrost Cycle: 20-min. or 25-min. defrost cycle once every 8 or 6 hrs. (25/8 or 20/6). Defrost cycle initiation and termination are controlled by the defrost timer or control module and defrost thermistor. Prep Table Refrigerators: The evaporator fan motor remains energized and all other components de-energize during the defrost cycle.
2. High-Pressure Switch If pressure on the high-side of the appliance exceeds Hoshizaki specifications, the high-pressure switch activates and interrupts the compressor circuit, de-energizing the compressor until the pressure returns to an acceptable level.
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 plug with damp hands. •...

2. Brazing WARNING • R-134a itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 212°F (100°C). • R-134a itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-134a can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.
5) Disconnect the gauge manifold hose from the vacuum pump and attach it to a refrigerant service cylinder. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets the requirements of ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) be used.
C. Door Reversal This appliance is provided with a cabinet design which, after being delivered to the installation location, permits changing of the door swing from left to right or right to left.
