4) Startup/Fill Cycle–Move any ice away from the BC actuator paddle (located at the top of the bin). Move the flush switch to the "ICE" position. X5 relay and WV energize. Reservoir fills, LFS closes, nothing happens at this time. The reservoir continues to fill. X5 Relay Diagnosis: Check that WV energizes and fills the reservoir.
Page 14
7) Refill/Low-Water Safety Cycle–As ice is produced, water level in the reservoir drops. UFS opens, nothing happens at this time. LFS opens and refill begins. X4 relay de-energizes, low water safety circuit opens (X4 relay #4 (DBU) and #6 (BR), and CB #3 (BR) and #4 (DBU)), CB 90 sec. low-water safety timer starts. WV energizes. Comp, FM, GM, and X3 relay continue.
2b. Diagnostic Procedure Auxiliary Code C-1 and Later This diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, adequate water supply (minimum of 10 PSIG, maximum of 113 PSIG), and proper voltage per appliance nameplate.
Page 16
5) Ice Purge Cycle–UFS closes, X11 relay energizes, WV de-energizes, and low-water safety circuit (CB #3 and #4) closes. GM and X12 relay energize, 60 sec. Comp delay timer starts. X11 Relay Diagnosis: Check for 35VDC at X11 relay #4 (DBU) to #6 (BR). If 35VDC is present, X11 relay is de-energized or bad.
Page 17
8) Shutdown–Ice fills ice storage bin and presses BC actuator to open BC. Comp, FM, GM, and X12 relay continue. X10 relay and X11 relay de-energize. 90 sec. low-water safety timer starts. When 90 sec. low-water safety timer terminates, Comp and FM de-energize.
C. Control Board Check Before replacing a control board 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. 1) Startup: Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance. Access CB and remove the wires from CB #3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 11.
3) If not already removed, remove the top and rear panels. 4) Remove FS assembly from the reservoir cover. See Fig. 1. 5) Wipe down FS assembly with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water.

6) While not necessary, the floats can be removed from the shaft during cleaning. If you remove them, note that the blue float is on top (UFS) and the white float is on bottom (LFS). The floats must be installed with the magnets inside them towards the top of the switch.
F. Diagnostic Tables Before consulting the diagnostic charts, check for correct installation, proper voltage per appliance nameplate, and adequate water supply. Check control board using the steps in "II.C. Control Board Check." 1. No Ice Production No Ice Production - Possible Cause Startup 1.
Page 22
No Ice Production - Possible Cause Freeze Cycle 1. Control Board a) Defective. See "II.C. Control Board Check." 2. X3 Relay (C-0 and earlier) or a) Defective. X12 Relay (C-1 and later) 3. Start Relay/Capacitor a) Defective. 4. Compressor a) Open motor windings. b) Mechanical Failure.
III. Controls and Relays The F-330BAH(-C) is controlled by a control board and 5 relays. X1 and X2 relays are located on the control board and control GM, Comp, and FM operation. X10, X11, and X12 relays are independent relays located in the control box. X10 relay controls the icemaking process and DV operation.
C. Relays X5 (C-0 and earlier) and X10 (C-1 and later)- Control Relay: Relay energizes when power switch is "ON," safety switch closed (if applicable), safety relay (if applicable) de-energized, BC closed, and flush/control switch in "ICE" position. Once energized, relay allows 24VAC to X4 relay (C-0 and earlier) or X11 relay (C-1 and later) for WV initiation and prevents DV from energizing during icemaking process.
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. • Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before servicing.

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. For the required refrigerant charge, see the nameplate. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard...
Page 28
6) A liquid charge is required when charging an R-404A system (to prevent fractionation). Place the service cylinder on the scales; if the service cylinder is not equipped with a dip tube, invert the service cylinder, then place it on the scales. Open the high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
B. Component Service Information NOTICE • When replacing a component listed below, see the notes to help ensure proper operation. • When replacing evaporator assembly and water circuit components, make sure there are no water leaks after the repair is complete. Component Notes Compressor...
