Use a cloth or sponge to liberally apply the solution to all surfaces of the removed parts or soak the removed parts in the sanitizer/water solution.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces ice production and shortens component life. Clean the condenser at least every six months. Follow the steps below. 1. The washable aluminum filter on self-contained ice machines is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint and grease.
REMOVAL FROM SERVICE/WINTERIZATION Self-contained Air-cooled ice machines Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is to be removed from service for an extended period of time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 320F (00C) or below. 1. Disconnect the electric power at the circuit breaker or the electric service switch.

Page 56
On/Off The On/Off Button is used to start and stop ice making. The blue light indicates whether the ice machine is in Ice Making (light on) or Off (light off). NOTE: Stopping and restarting a freeze cycle with ice on the evaporator will result in a thick bridge and larger than normal cubes;...
Page 57
Clean Pressing the Clean button for 3 seconds will start a clean cycle. After the clean cycle is complete, the ice machine will automatically start an ice making cycle. • Pressing the Clean button again within 45 seconds of the clean cycle starting will abort the clean cycle. •...
Ice Making Sequence of Operation SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The On/Off button must be depressed and the ice damper must be closed before the ice machine will start. The following is the primary sequence of operation. Initial Start-up From Shutoff The dump valve energizes to purge any water in the water trough down the drain.
Page 59
Full Bin Cycle If the ice damper is held open by ice cubes the ice machine shuts off. When the ice damper closes the ice machine starts a new cycle at Initial Start-up From Shutoff. The ice machine will remain off for a 3 minute delay period. Thaw Cycle The maximum harvest time is a total of 7 minutes.
CONTROL BOARD TIMERS • The ice machine is locked into the freeze cycle for 6 minutes before a harvest cycle can be initiated. • The freeze time lock in feature is bypassed on the initial cycle (manual start or after a full bin/safety limit condition).
SAFETY LIMITS Safety limits are stored and indicated by the control board. The number of cycles required to stop the ice machine varies for each safety limit. Safety limits can be reset by pressing the On/Off button and starting a new ice making cycle. A safety limit shutdown is indicated by the red Service light on the touch pad.
Page 62
Safety Limit 3 If the freeze time reaches 4 minutes and water is not sensed (float remains down for 10 continuous seconds) the ice machine stops. • Safety Limit 3 is bypassed on the initial cycle (manual start or after a full bin/safety limit condition). For all subsequent cycles if the freeze time reaches 4 minutes and water is not sensed, the ice machine stops and initiates a 30 minute delay period.
Operational Checks ICE THICKNESS CHECK After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage bin. The ice bridge connects the ice cubes and must be set to maintain an ice bridge thickness of 1/8" (3.2 mm). To adjust the thickness of the bridge refer to ice thickness adjustment.
Sequence of Operation UDP0080 Initial start-up or start-up after automatic shut-off 1. Pressure Equalization Before the compressor starts the hot gas valve is energized for 15 seconds to equalize pressures during the initial refrigeration system start-up. 2. Refrigeration System Start-up The compressor starts after the 15-second pressure equalization, and remains on throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest Sequences.
Page 68
5. Harvest The water pump de-energizes stopping flow over the evaporator. The rising level of water in the sump trough diverts water out of the overflow tube, purging excess minerals from the sump trough. The hot gas valve also opens to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The refrigerant gas warms the evaporator causing the cubes to slide, as a sheet, off the evaporator and into the storage bin.
Operational Checks UDP0080 SIPHON SYSTEM To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency, the water in the sump trough must be purged during each harvest cycle. When the water pump de-energizes the level in the water trough rises above the standpipe starting a siphon action. The siphon action stops when the water level in the sump trough drops.
WATER LEVEL CHECK The float valve is factory-set for the proper water level. If adjustments are necessary: 1. Verify the ice machine is level. 2. Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe. 3. Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to the ON position, and wait until the float valve stops adding water.
ICE THICKNESS CHECK After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage bin. The ice thickness probe is set to maintain an ice bridge of 1/8” (3.2 mm). If an adjustment is needed, follow the steps below. 1.

INSTALLATION/VISUAL INSPECTION CHECKLIST Ice machine is not level • Level the ice machine Condenser is dirty • Clean the condenser Water filtration is plugged (if used) • Install a new water filter Water drains are not run separately and/or are not vented •...
WATER SYSTEM CHECKLIST A water-related problem often causes the same symptoms as a refrigeration system component malfunction. Example: A water dump valve leaking during the freeze cycle, a system low on charge, and a starving TXV have similar symptoms. Water system problems must be identified and eliminated prior to replacing refrigeration components.
Page 95
Extremely Thin at Evaporator Outlet There is no ice, or a considerable lack of ice formation on the outlet of the evaporator. Examples: No ice at all at the outlet of the evaporator, but ice forms at the inlet half of the evaporator. Or, the ice at the outlet of the evaporator reaches the correct thickness, but the outlet of the evaporator already has 1/2”...
Refrigeration Diagnostics These ice machines have a very small refrigerant charge and we do not recommend diagnosing the ice machine using refrigerant pressures. For this reason refrigeration access fittings are not installed during production and the ice machine is diagnosed with temperatures. ELIMINATE ALL NON REFRIGERATION PROBLEMS BEFORE DIAGNOSING THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM.
ICE FORMATION PATTERN Evaporator ice formation pattern analysis is helpful in ice machine diagnostics. Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot diagnose an ice machine malfunction. However, when this analysis is used along with Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, it can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
DISCHARGE LINE TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS Knowing if the discharge line temperature is increasing, decreasing or remaining constant can be an important diagnostic tool. Maximum compressor discharge line temperature on a normally operating ice machine steadily increases throughout the freeze cycle. Comparing the temperatures over several cycles will result in a consistent maximum discharge line temperature.
COMPARING EVAPORATOR INLET/OUTLET TEMPERATURES The temperatures of the suction lines entering and leaving the evaporator alone cannot diagnose an ice machine. However, comparing these temperatures during the freeze cycle, along with using Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
REFRIGERATION DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1. Install and insulate a temperature lead on the compressor suction line within 6” of the compressor. 2. Install and insulate a temperature lead on the compressor discharge line within 6” of the compressor. 3. All doors and panels must be in place during the diagnostic procedure.
FLOODING EXPANSION VALVE SYMPTOMS A flooding expansion valve will have discharge and suction line temperatures 20°F (-7°C) lower than normal freeze cycle temperatures. Normal suction line temperature and low discharge line temperature DO NOT verify a flooding valve. Both discharge line temperature and suction line temperature must be low to verify a flooding expansion valve.
OVERCHARGED SYSTEM SYMPTOMS Suction line temperature will be slightly low during freeze cycle 5°F (-15°C). Discharge line temperature is normal. Actual amperage readings will be higher than nameplate rating. Overcharge diagnosis can be difficult. R290 ice machines ship without access valves; Look for signs that an access valve has previously been added.
HARVEST VALVE General The harvest valve is an electrically operated valve that opens when energized, and closes when de-energized. Normal Operation The valve is de-energized (closed) during the freeze cycle and energized (open) during the harvest cycle. The valve is positioned between the receiver and the evaporator and performs two functions: 1.
Page 104
Harvest Valve Analysis The valve can fail in two positions: • Valve will not open in the harvest cycle. • Valve remains open during the freeze cycle. VALVE WILL NOT OPEN IN THE HARVEST CYCLE Although the circuit board has initiated a harvest cycle, the evaporator temperature remains unchanged from the freeze cycle.
Page 105
Use the following procedure and table to help determine if a harvest valve is remaining partially open during the freeze cycle. 1. Wait eight minutes into the freeze cycle. 2. Feel the inlet of the harvest valve or attach thermocouple and insulate. Ipprttat Feeling the harvest valve outlet or across the harvest valve itself will not work for this comparison.
Page 106
Findings Comments The inlet of the harvest valve This is normal as the discharge is cool enough to touch and line should always be too hot to the compressor discharge touch and the harvest valve inlet, line is hot. although too hot to touch during harvest, should be cool enough to touch after 5 minutes into the Cppl &...
Troubleshooting UDP0080 SAFETY LIMIT FEATURE In addition to the standard safety controls, your Manitowoc ice machine features built-in safety limits that will stop the ice machine if conditions arise which could cause a major component failure. Safety Limit #1: If the freeze time reaches 60 minutes, the control board automatically initiates a harvest cycle.
Page 108
Determining Which Safety Limit Stopped the Ice Machine: When a safety limit condition causes the ice machine to stop, the harvest light on the control board continually flashes on and off. Use the following procedures to determine which safety limit has stopped the ice machine. 1.

DIAGNOSING AN ICE MACHINE THAT WILL NOT RUN Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board (terminals #2 and #4) at all times. Removing control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board. 1.
DIAGNOSING ICE THICKNESS CONTROL CIRCUITRY Ice Machine Does Not Cycle Into Harvest when Water Contacts the Ice Thickness Control Probe Bypass the freeze time lock-in feature by Step 1 moving the ON/OFF/WASH switch to OFF and back to ON. Wait until the water starts to flow over the evaporator. Clip the jumper wire to the ice thickness probe Step 2 and any cabinet ground.

Ice Machine Cycles Into Harvest Before Water Contact with the Ice Thickness Probe Bypass the freeze time lock-in feature by Step 1 moving the ON/OFF/WASH switch to OFF and back to ON. Wait until the water starts to flow over the evaporator, then monitor the harvest light.
ICE PRODUCTION CHECK The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to the operating water and air temperatures. This means an ice machine with a 70°F (21°C) ambient temperature and 50°F (10°C) water produces more ice than the same ice machine with 90°F (32°C) ambient and 70°F (21°C) water.

COMPARING EVAPORATOR INLET/OUTLET TEMPERATURES The temperatures of the suction line entering and leaving the evaporator alone cannot diagnose an ice machine. However, comparing these temperatures during the freeze cycle can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction. The actual temperatures entering and leaving the evaporator vary by model, and change throughout the freeze cycle.
REFRIGERATION DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE 1. Install and insulate a temperature lead on the compressor suction line within 6” of the compressor. 2. Install and insulate a temperature lead on the compressor discharge line within 6” of the compressor. 3. All doors and panels must be in place during the diagnostic procedure.
FLOODING EXPANSION VALVE SYMPTOMS A flooding expansion valve will have discharge and suction line temperatures 20°F (-7°C) lower than normal freeze cycle temperatures. Normal suction line temperature and low discharge line temperature DO NOT verify a flooding valve. Both discharge line temperature and suction line temperature must be low to verify a flooding expansion valve.
OVERCHARGED SYSTEM SYMPTOMS Suction line temperature will be slightly low during freeze cycle 5°F (-15°C). Discharge line temperature is normal. Actual amperage readings will be higher than nameplate rating. Overcharge diagnosis can be difficult. R290 ice machines ship without access valves; Look for signs that an access valve has previously been added.
HARVEST VALVE General The harvest valve is an electrically operated valve that opens when energized, and closes when de-energized. Normal Operation The valve is de-energized (closed) during the freeze cycle and energized (open) during the harvest cycle. The valve is positioned between the receiver and the evaporator and performs two functions: 1.
Page 128
Harvest Valve Analysis The valve can fail in two positions: • Valve will not open in the harvest cycle. • Valve remains open during the freeze cycle. VALVE WILL NOT OPEN IN THE HARVEST CYCLE Although the circuit board has initiated a harvest cycle, the evaporator temperature remains unchanged from the freeze cycle.
Page 129
Use the following procedure and table to help determine if a harvest valve is remaining partially open during the freeze cycle. 1. Wait eight minutes into the freeze cycle. 2. Feel the inlet of the harvest valve or attach thermocouple and insulate. Ipprttat Feeling the harvest valve outlet or across the harvest valve itself will not work for this comparison.

Component Check Procedures MAIN FUSE Function The control board fuse stops ice machine operation if electrical components fail causing high amp draw. Specifications • UDP0080/UDP0140/UDP0240/UDP0310 - 250 Volt, 10 amp. Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board at all times.
BIN SWITCH UDP0080/UDP0140/UDP0240/UDP0310 Function Bin switch operation is controlled by the movement of the ice damper. The bin switch has two main functions: 1. Terminating the harvest cycle and returning the ice machine to the freeze cycle. This occurs when the bin switch is opened and closed again within 7 seconds of opening during the harvest cycle.
Page 133
Check Procedure 1. Press the power button to OFF. 2. Watch the curtain light on the control board. 3. Move the ice damper upward, toward the evaporator. The bin switch must close. The curtain light “on” indicates the bin switch has closed properly. 4.

Ohm Test Disconnect power from ice machine. Disconnect wire from control board and Ohm touch pad and interconnecting wire to verify correct operation. Pressing and depressing the touch pad must open and close the circuit. A switch that functions correctly will close as the button is pressed and open as the button is released.
FLOAT SWITCH UDP0140/UDP0240/UDP0310 Function Open and close to indicate to the control board the level of water in the water trough. Specifications Normally closed, float operated magnetic reed switch. The float switch contacts are closed in the down position. When water raises the float to the up position the magnet in the float opens the contacts.
Page 137
Ice Thickness Float Switch: The light must be off in the down position. The light must be on in the up position. If the control board light does not respond to the float proceed with step 1 below. 1. Disconnect power to the ice machine, pull the wire connector for the float switch through the bulkhead and disconnect.
WATER TROUGH THERMISTOR UDP0140/UDP0240/UDP0310 Function Thermistor resistance values change with temperature. The value supplied to the control board is used to identify temperature at the thermistor location. When the resistance value indicates a temperature of 34°F (1.1°C) the control board will delay the water pump for 25 seconds.

ON/OFF/WASH TOGGLE SWITCH UDP0080 FUNCTION The switch is used to place the ice machine in ON, OFF or WASH mode of operation. SPECIFICATIONS Single-pole, double-throw switch. The switch is connected into a varying low D.C. voltage circuit. CHECK PROCEDURE NOTE: Because of a wide variation in D.C. voltage, it is not recommended that a voltmeter be used to check toggle switch operation.
FAN CYCLE CONTROL UDP0080/UDP0140/UDP0240/UDP0310 Function Cycles the fan motor on and off to maintain proper operating discharge pressure. The fan cycle control closes on an increase, and opens on a decrease in discharge pressure. Specifications Model Cut-In (Close) Cut-Out (Open) UDP0080 UPD0140 200 psig ±5...
HIGH PRESSURE CUTOUT (HPCO) CONTROL UDP0080 /UDP0140/UDP0240/UDP0310 Function Stops the ice machine if subjected to excessive high-side pressure. The HPCO control is normally closed, and opens on a rise in discharge pressure. Specifications Cut-out: 350 psig ±10 Cut-in: Automatic reset (Must be below 250 psig to reset) Check Procedure 1.
COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS The compressor does not start or will trip repeatedly on overload. Check Resistance (Ohm) Values NOTE: Compressor windings can have very low ohm values. Use a properly calibrated meter. Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools. The compressor dome should be cool enough to touch (below 120°F/49°C) to ensure that the overload is closed and the resistance readings will be accurate.

The difference between a Manitowoc drier and an off- the-shelf drier is in filtration. A Manitowoc drier has dirt-retaining filtration, with fiberglass filters on both the inlet and outlet ends.
Flammable Refrigerant Procedures Servicing Requirements • It is recommended that only technicians specifically trained in handling flammable refrigerants, service or dispose of equipment containing hydrocarbon refrigerants. • Color-coded red process tubes indicate use of a flammable refrigerant - Process tubes must be replaced after brazing or other service procedures.
REFRIGERANT PURGING REQUIREMENTS NOTE: Country and Local Codes for removal and processing of this refrigerant must always take precedence over these procedures. • Minimum of 10 feet from building, verify wind direction will not introduce refrigerant into building • Verify refrigerant does not enter buildings through intake air vents •...
REFRIGERANT PURGING PROCEDURE 1. Disconnect all electric power to the system and lockout tag out the power source(s). NOTE: Some systems may have more than one power supply. 2. Work in well-ventilated, open space and eliminate all ignition sources. 3. Install piercing valves on the high and low side access fittings.
PRESSURE TESTING 11. Pressure test with dry nitrogen to detect leaks. Use nitrogen and a trace amount of refrigerant to locate the leak if a pressure test indicates a leak is present. 12. Do not over pressurize the system. Check the name plate for the maximum test pressure.
Refrigerant Charging Due to the small refrigerant quantities, a cap tube in the .50 to .85 ID range with a shutoff valve at the access port can be used to control the flow of refrigerant. The charge accuracy must be within +/- 1% of the nameplate listed charge.
Page 151
NOTE: Manifold gauge set must be removed properly to ensure no refrigerant contamination or loss occurs. 18. Verify all of the vapor in the charging hoses is drawn into the refrigeration system before disconnecting the charging hoses. Run the ice machine in freeze cycle. Remove the high side low loss fitting.
System Contamination Cleanup This section describes the basic requirements for restoring contaminated systems to reliable service. DETERMINING SEVERITY OF CONTAMINATION System contamination is generally caused by either moisture or residue from compressor burnout entering the refrigeration system. Inspection of the refrigerant usually provides the first indication of system contamination.
