  • Page 5: Important Safety Information

    Important Safety Information Throughout this manual, notices appear to bring your attention to situations which could result in death, serious injury, damage to the appliance, or damage to property. WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which could result in death or serious injury.
  • Page 6 WARNING, continued • The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure.
  • Page 7 NOTICE • Follow the instructions in this manual carefully to reduce the risk of costly water damage. • In areas where water damage is a concern, install in a contained area with a floor drain. • Install the appliance in a location that stays above freezing. Normal operating ambient temperature must be within 45°F to 100°F (7°C to 38°C).

  • Page 15 2. Diagnostic Procedure This diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, proper voltage per appliance nameplate, and adequate water pressure (10 PSIG to 113 PSIG). Check that both the 24VAC circuit fuse and the 115VAC GM fuse are good.
  • Page 16 6) Startup – CB "POWER OK" LED is on. Plug the icemaker back into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the "ON" position. Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. CB "POWER OK" LED and IS (BC1) green LED turn on. Diagnosis CB "POWER OK"...
  • Page 17 8) Ice Purge Cycle – "GM" LED is on. 30-sec. GM delay timer terminates. GM, EH, and CCR energize. Once CCR energizes, 5VDC circuit closes through CCR terminal #3 (W/O) and terminal #5 (W/O) and CB K9 #5 (W/O) and K9 #6 (W/O). After 5VDC circuit closes, 5-min.
  • Page 18 Condensing Unit Diagnosis: Confirm that CLPS closes. Once CLPS closes, MC energizes, energizing Comp and FMR. If not, check condensing unit 208-230VAC power supply, breakers, disconnects. Next, confirm 115VAC from CLPS (BR) wire to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check wiring connections and power supply. CLPS: When PDS is energized, CLPS closes when refrigeration circuit low-side pressure reaches 29 PSIG.
  • Page 19 10) Refill Cycle – "GM", "COMP", and "WTRIN" LEDs are on. LFS opens. WV energizes and FT starts. GM, CCR, EH, PDS, MC, Comp, and FMR continue. LFS closes. Nothing occurs at this time. Reservoir continues to fill until UFS closes. When UFS closes, WV de-energizes, 90-sec. FT terminates, and 30-sec. FZT starts.
  • Page 20 11) Drain Cycle a) 1-in-1 Drain Cycle: DV energizes once every hour when the 1-in-1 drain cycle is activated (S1 dip switch 4 in the "OFF" position (factory default position)). GM and PDS continue. DV energizes for 2 sec. every hour. This setting is recommended for optimum icemaker performance.
  • Page 21 LED turns on (flashing or steady), BC1 shutdown delay timer (S1 dip switch 1, 2, 3) starts. For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-sec. shutdown delay is recommended. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable. See "III.B.2. BC1 (Infrared Sensor) Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, 2, 3)."...
  • Page 22: Control Board Check

    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) Check CB S1 dip switch settings to assure that they are in the factory default position. For factory default settings, see "III.B.1.
  • Page 23 4) 5VDC Output Checks: CB K9 Connector: Control Switch (CB K9 #1 and #2) (open contacts for icemaking, closed contacts for drain), Jumper (CB K9 #3 and #4), Compressor Control Relay (K9 #5 and #6). Float Switch (K8 #5 (common), #6 (upper), and #7 (lower)). When checking 5VDC control voltage, always place the red positive test lead from the multimeter to the CB white K5 pin closest to the CB red K4 connector.
  • Page 24 c. Float Switch (LFS and UFS) – CB K8 #5 (BK) (common), CB K8 #6 (R) (upper), and CB K8 #7 (DBU) (lower): 5VDC is present from CB white K5 connector pin closest to CB red K4 connector to CB K8 #5 (BK) (common) at all times. If not, replace CB.

  • Page 27: Bin Control Check

    D. Bin Control Check 1. Bin Control 1 (BC1) (infrared sensor) Check IMPORTANT Make sure CB S1 dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position. This allows the control board to monitor BC1 (infrared sensor) along with BC2 (mechanical) backup bin control. 1) Remove the front panel.
  • Page 28 8) CB "GM" and "COMP" LEDs are on. Use an object to cover BC1 lens at the bottom of the icemaker. If the bottom of the icemaker is not accessible in your application, remove the thumbscrew securing BC1 housing, remove the housing from the base, then cover BC1 lens.
  • Page 29 2. Bin Control 2 (BC2) (mechanical backup) Check When the spout cover is closed, BC2 is closed and the icemaker produces ice. With S1 dip switch 7 placed in the "ON" position, BC2 is used as a backup bin control safety. When BC1 fails to shut down the icemaker and ice fills the chute and disengages the spout cover, BC2 opens and CB immediately shuts down the icemaker and sounds a 9-beep alarm.
