5a) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV and X11 relay continue. Comp, FMR, HGV, X10, and X12 relays energize. CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ...
Page 18
5c) Initial Harvest Cycle Termination Diagnosis: 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). Check discharge line temperature.
Page 19
d) PM Diagnosis: Confirm water is flowing over evaporator from PM and not WV. If PM de-energizes once freeze begins, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #4 (R) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present and PM is de-energized, check for 115VAC at control switch #5 (W/R) to neutral (W).

7) Pump-Out Cycle – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on (10/20 second pump-out). Timing of the first pump-out is determined by S4 dip switch 5. See the table below. Control Board Settings S4 Dip Switch Pump-Out 1st Pump-Out Setting Frequency No.
Page 21
8) Normal Harvest Cycle – Same as the initial harvest cycle. Return to step 5a) above. Note: Appliance continues to cycle until BC is satisfied, power is switched off or freeze-time correction cycle is initiated. The appliance always restarts at the 1-min.
C. Freeze-Time Correction Cycle (90 min.) Freeze-Time Correction function is enabled when S4 Dip Switch 7 is in the "ON" position and initiates when the minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded differential parameters. Freeze-time correction timer and count starts at the beginning of the 2nd freeze cycle after startup from power off condition.
Page 23
2) Freeze-Time Correction Sequence: First occurrence within 36 hr., minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded differential parameters. CB "POWER OK" LED starts blinking. Freeze-Time Correction Cycle starts. Second occurrence within 36 hr., minimum and maximum freeze times have exceeded differential parameters.
D. 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.
E. Bin Control Check BC shuts down the icemaker within 10 sec. when ice contacts the thermostatic bulb, regardless of the cycle at activation. NOTICE When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), BC opens and shuts down the appliance even if the ice storage bin is empty. When BC is set in the prohibited range, the appliance operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is filled with ice.

F. Float Switch Check and Cleaning FS is used to determine that there is sufficient water in the water tank after the 1-min. fill cycle and after each harvest cycle. FS is also used to determine that the appropriate volume of water has been converted into ice before switching out of the freeze cycle. No adjustment is required.
Be careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it. 7) Wipe down FS housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Clean the inside of the rubber boot and hose with cleaning solution.
G. Thermistor Check To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel. Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. 3) Remove the control box cover. 4) Remove the thermistor from the refrigerant tubing. 5) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or 3 min.

NOTICE Dip switches are factory set. Failure to maintain factory settings may adversely affect performance and warranty coverage. For more information, contact your Hoshizaki Service Center. 1. Default Dip Switch Settings The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: S4 Dip Switch S4 Dip Switch No.
2. Harvest Time (S4 dip switch 1 & 2) The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C) at the evaporator outlet and the control board reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor. The harvest timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the drain provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning.
4. Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5) The pump-out frequency control is factory set to drain the water tank every 10 cycles. Generally no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the icemaker needs a pump-out more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted. The pump-out frequency control can be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every 10 cycles.
6. Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist)/Freeze-Time Correction (S4 dip switch 7) NOTICE Factory set for proper operation. Do not adjust. Adjustment outside of the factory default setting may result in damage to the appliance. a) Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) Depending on S4 dip switch 7 setting, the pump motor either stays off or is energized during the last seconds of the harvest cycle.
In this case, see "II.G.3. Low Ice Production" for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set and no adjustment is required. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations.
