  • Page 17: Operation

    NM1850R OPERATION: Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, divides into two inlet lines to each water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water them goes out the bottom of the reservoir tanks to the bottom of the evaporators.
  • Page 18 NM1850R OPERATION: Refrigeration There are two separate refrigeration systems in this machine. Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant depending upon the temperature of the 502 is compressed into a high temperature evaporator; warmer evaporators get more gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the refrigerant and colder evaporators get less.

  • Page 20 NM1850R OPERATION: Refrigeration PUMP DOWN There are two separate refrigeration systems in this machine. During the pump down cycle (usually initiated is stopped by the closed liquid line valve. This by the circuit board de-energizing the liquid action forces the refrigerant into the receiver line valve) the discharge gases flow through and keeps it out of the compressor.

  • Page 24: Service Diagnosis

    NM1850R SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced STATUS: NOTHING OPERATES A. Check: Voltage to the unit, restore it if there is none. Compare to the nameplate. B. Check: The master switch, switch ON if off. C. Check: The 2 reset switches (spout switch, or on prior models, the circuit board; and high pressure): depress and release each switch.
