GM Diagnosis: Check that GM energizes. If not, check for 115VAC at GM. If 115VAC is not present, check GM external protector on front of control box. If tripped, reset. If it does not reset, replace GM external protector. Once reset, if GM does not energize, check GM windings (internal protector) and GM capacitor.
C. 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.
2) Remove the upper rear panel. 3) Remove FS assembly from the reservoir cover. 4) Wipe down FS assembly with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Rinse the assembly thoroughly with clean water.
Page 16
6) Rinse FS assembly thoroughly with clean water and replace in its correct position. 7) Replace the upper rear panel in its correct position. 8) Plug the appliance into the electrical outlet, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
E. Optional Drain Pump HS-5061 1. Overview As ice melts, water drains from the storage bin into DP. LFS closes. Nothing happens at this time. UFS closes, DP energizes and pumps out the water. UFS opens, nothing happens at this time. LFS opens, DP de-energizes. If water cannot be pumped out of DP due to a blocked discharge hose, bad check valve, or bad DP motor, water level continues to rise and SFS closes.
F. Diagnostic Tables 1. No Ice Production No Ice Production - Possible Cause Startup/Fill Cycle 1. Power Supply a) Unplugged, off, blown fuse, or tripped breaker. b) Not within specifications. 2. Optional Drain Pump HS-5061 a) Drain pump connection unplugged or loose. b) Drain pump safety float switch open.

Refill 1. Float Switch a) Dirty/sticking. See "II.D. Float Switch Check b) Defective. and Cleaning." 2. Inlet Water Valve a) Screen or orifice clogged. b) Defective. 3. Water Supply a) Water supply off or improper water pressure (7 to 113 PSIG). b) External water filters clogged.
III. Controls and Relays The C-101BAH(-C) utilizes a control switch, time delay relay, water control relay, and compressor relay to control operation. A. Control Switch The control switch has 3 positions, "OFF," "ICE," and "DRAIN." a) "OFF": All components except the optional drain pump are de-energized when the control switch is in the "OFF"...
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 control 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 23
6) A liquid charge is required when charging an R-134a system. 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. 7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
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 Extruding Head •...

Evaporator Assembly Thumbscrew Seal Bolts Spout Inspect for leakage around seal bolts. Tighten (11.1 ft-lb/15 N·m) or replace as necessary. Seal bolts must be replaced once removed because seal material is one-time use only. Cutter If new seal bolts do not have preapplied (motionless) threadlocker, apply Loctite 243 or Packing...
1. Upper Bearing Wear Check To ensure that the bearing inside the extruding head does not exceed the wear tolerance of .02", follow the instructions below. 1) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
2. Removal and Replacement of Extruding Head 1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position. 3) Allow the water system to drain for 1 minute. 4) Remove all ice from the storage bin. 5) After all of the water has drained, move the control switch to the "OFF"...
3. Removal and Replacement of Auger 1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position. 3) Allow the water system to drain for 1 minute. 4) After all of the water has drained, move the control switch to the "OFF" position. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
4. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator NOTICE • Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. • When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from overheating.
21) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do not use R-134a as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.

9) Grasp the cutter and carefully lift out the extruding head. 10) Grasp the auger and carefully lift it out. When pulling out the auger, the upper part of the mechanical seal should come out with it. 11) Remove the socket head cap screws securing the evaporator to the lower housing. 12) Raise the evaporator up to access the lower housing.
6. Removal and Replacement of Gear Motor NOTICE! Hoshizaki recommends that the gear motor capacitor be replaced at the same time as the gear motor. 1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve.
V. Maintenance The appliance must be maintained in accordance with the instruction manual and labels provided. Consult with your local Hoshizaki Certified Service Representative about maintenance service.
