Ice Making Sequence of Operation CONTROL BOARD REVISIONS 1. Original control board 2. Control board with J4 terminal, which can utilize a thermistor to control when/if a water pump delay occurs in the freeze cycle. 3. Control board with the addition of J8 & J9 terminals. The J8 terminal can control an EC fan motor.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The On/Off button must be depressed and the ice damper must be closed before the ice machine will start. The following is the primary sequence of operation. Software revisions will alter some of the timing sequences and are noted in software revisions. Initial Start-up From Shutoff The dump valve energizes to purge any water in the water trough down the drain.
Page 70
Full Bin Cycle If the ice damper is held open by ice cubes the ice machine shuts off. When the ice damper closes the ice machine starts a new cycle at Initial Start-up From Shutoff. The ice machine will remain off for a 3 minute delay period. Thaw Cycle The maximum harvest time is a total of 7 minutes.
CONTROL BOARD TIMERS • The ice machine is locked into the freeze cycle for 6 minutes before a harvest cycle can be initiated. • The freeze time lock in feature is bypassed on the initial cycle (manual start or after a full bin/safety limit condition).
SAFETY LIMITS Safety limits are stored and indicated by the control board. The number of cycles required to stop the ice machine varies for each safety limit. Safety limits can be reset by pressing the On/Off button and starting a new ice making cycle. A safety limit shutdown is indicated by the red Service light on the touch pad.
Page 73
Safety Limit 3 If the freeze time reaches 4 minutes and water is not sensed (float remains down for 10 continuous seconds) the ice machine stops. • Safety Limit 3 is bypassed on the initial cycle (manual start or after a full bin/safety limit condition). For all subsequent cycles if the freeze time reaches 4 minutes and water is not sensed, the ice machine stops and initiates a 30 minute delay period.
Operational Checks ICE THICKNESS CHECK After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage bin. The ice bridge connects the ice cubes and must be set to maintain an ice bridge thickness of 1/8" (3.2 mm). To adjust the thickness of the bridge refer to ice thickness adjustment.
Sequence of Operation UDE0065 Initial startup or startup after automatic shut-off 1. Water Purge The water fill valve and the hot gas valve are energized for 2.9 minutes (175 seconds). This ensures that the ice making cycle starts with fresh water, and that the refrigerant pressures are equalized prior to refrigeration system start-up.
Page 79
4. Harvest Cycle The condenser fan motor and water pump de-energize. The water fill valve energizes to purge the water in the water trough. The hot gas valve also energizes at the beginning of the harvest cycle to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator.
ICE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT It is normal to have a dimple in the ice cube (a concave indentation in the cube). Cube size is determined by measuring the slab weight (the combined weight of all cubes from one harvest cycle). To determine proper slab weight follow the instructions listed below.
Sequence of Operation UDE0080 Initial start-up or start-up after automatic shut-off 1. Pressure Equalization Before the compressor starts the hot gas valve is energized for 15 seconds to equalize pressures during the initial refrigeration system start-up. 2. Refrigeration System Start-up The compressor starts after the 15-second pressure equalization, and remains on throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest Sequences.
Page 83
5. Harvest The water pump de-energizes stopping flow over the evaporator. The rising level of water in the sump trough diverts water out of the overflow tube, purging excess minerals from the sump trough. The hot gas valve also opens to divert hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The refrigerant gas warms the evaporator causing the cubes to slide, as a sheet, off the evaporator and into the storage bin.
Operational Checks UDE0080 SIPHON SYSTEM To reduce mineral build-up and cleaning frequency, the water in the sump trough must be purged during each harvest cycle. When the water pump de-energizes the level in the water trough rises above the standpipe starting a siphon action. The siphon action stops when the water level in the sump trough drops.
WATER LEVEL CHECK The float valve is factory-set for the proper water level. If adjustments are necessary: 1. Verify the ice machine is level. 2. Remove the siphon cap from the standpipe. 3. Place the main ON/OFF/WASH toggle switch to the ON position, and wait until the float valve stops adding water.
ICE THICKNESS CHECK After a harvest cycle, inspect the ice cubes in the ice storage bin. The ice thickness probe is set to maintain an ice bridge of 1/8” (3.2 mm). If an adjustment is needed, follow the steps below. 1.

WATER SYSTEM CHECKLIST A water-related problem often causes the same symptoms as a refrigeration system component malfunction. Example: A water dump valve leaking during the freeze cycle, a system low on charge, and a starving TXV have similar symptoms. Water system problems must be identified and eliminated prior to replacing refrigeration components.
ICE FORMATION PATTERN Evaporator ice formation pattern analysis is helpful in ice machine diagnostics. Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot diagnose an ice machine malfunction. However, when this analysis is used along with Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, it can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
Page 103
Extremely Thin at Evaporator Outlet There is no ice, or a considerable lack of ice formation on the outlet of the evaporator. Examples: No ice at all at the outlet of the evaporator, but ice forms at the inlet half of the evaporator. Or, the ice at the outlet of the evaporator reaches the correct thickness, but the outlet of the evaporator already has 1/2”...
SAFETY LIMIT FEATURE In addition to the standard safety controls, your Manitowoc ice machine features built-in safety limits that will stop the ice machine if conditions arise which could cause a major component failure. Service Light: The Service light energizes whenever a safety limit has been exceeded.
Page 105
Safety Limit 3 If the freeze time reaches 4 minutes and water is not sensed (float remains down for 10 continuous seconds) the ice machine stops. • Safety Limit 3 is bypassed on the initial cycle (manual start or after a full bin/safety limit condition). For all subsequent cycles if the freeze time reaches 4 minutes and water is not sensed, the ice machine stops and initiates a 30 minute delay period.

Page 112
Discharge Pressure High Checklist Improper Installation • Refer to “Installation/Visual Inspection Checklist” on page 100 Restricted Condenser Air Flow • High inlet air temperature • Condenser discharge air re-circulation • Dirty condenser fins • Defective fan cycling control • Defective fan motor Improper Refrigerant Charge •...
ANALYZING SUCTION PRESSURE The suction pressure gradually drops throughout the freeze cycle. The actual suction pressure (and drop rate) changes as the air and water temperature entering the ice machine changes. These variables also determine the freeze cycle times. To analyze and identify the proper suction pressure drop throughout the freeze cycle, compare the published suction pressure to the published freeze cycle time.
Page 114
Procedure Step 1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions. Example: Air temperature entering condenser: 90°F/32.2°C Air temperature around ice machine: 80°F/26.7°C Water temperature entering water fill valve: 70°F/21.1°C 2A. Refer to “Cycle Time” and “Operating Pressure” charts for ice machine model being checked. Using operating conditions from Step 1, determine published freeze cycle time and published freeze cycle suction pressure.

HARVEST VALVE General The harvest valve is an electrically operated valve that opens when energized, and closes when de-energized. Normal Operation The valve is de-energized (closed) during the freeze cycle and energized (open) during the harvest cycle. The valve is positioned between the receiver and the evaporator and performs two functions: 1.
Page 118
Harvest Valve Analysis The valve can fail in two positions: • Valve will not open in the harvest cycle. • Valve remains open during the freeze cycle. VALVE WILL NOT OPEN IN THE HARVEST CYCLE Although the circuit board has initiated a harvest cycle, the evaporator temperature remains unchanged from the freeze cycle.
Page 119
Use the following procedure and table to help determine if a harvest valve is remaining partially open during the freeze cycle. 1. Wait five minutes into the freeze cycle. 2. Feel the inlet of the harvest valve(s). Ipprttat Feeling the harvest valve outlet or across the harvest valve itself will not work for this comparison.
Page 120
Findings Comments The inlet of the harvest valve This is normal as the discharge is cool enough to touch and line should always be too hot to the compressor discharge touch and the harvest valve inlet, line is hot. although too hot to touch during harvest, should be cool enough to touch after 5 minutes into the Cppl &...
COMPARING EVAPORATOR INLET/OUTLET TEMPERATURES The temperatures of the suction lines entering and leaving the evaporator alone cannot diagnose an ice machine. However, comparing these temperatures during the freeze cycle, along with using Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
DISCHARGE LINE TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS GENERAL Knowing if the discharge line temperature is increasing, decreasing or remaining constant can be an important diagnostic tool. Maximum compressor discharge line temperature on a normally operating ice machine steadily increases throughout the freeze cycle. Comparing the temperatures over several cycles will result in a consistent maximum discharge line temperature.
Page 123
Discharge Line Temperature Above 150°F (66°C) at End of Freeze Cycle: Ice machines that are operating normally will have consistent maximum discharge line temperatures above 150°F (66°C). Verify the expansion valve sensing bulb is positioned and secured correctly. Discharge Line Temperature Below 150°F (66°C) at End of Freeze Cycle Ice machines that have a flooding expansion valve will have a maximum discharge line temperature that decreases...
REFRIGERATION COMPONENT DIAGNOSTICS All electrical and water related problems must be corrected before these charts will work properly. These tables must be used with charts, checklists and other references to eliminate refrigeration components not listed and external items and problems that will cause good refrigeration components to appear defective.
Page 125
Final Analysis The column with the highest number of check marks identifies the refrigeration problem. Column 1 – Harvest Valve Leaking A leaking harvest valve must be replaced. Column 2 – Low Charge/TXV Starving Normally, a starving expansion valve only affects the freeze cycle pressures, not the harvest cycle pressures.
Troubleshooting UDE0065 DIAGNOSING AN ICE MACHINE THAT WILL NOT RUN Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board (terminals #2 and #4) at all times. Removing control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board.
REFRIGERATION DIAGNOSTICS OVERVIEW UDE0065 UDE0065 ice machines have a very small refrigerant charge and we do not recommend diagnosing the ice machine using refrigerant pressures. For this reason refrigeration access fittings are not installed during production and the ice machine is diagnosed with temperatures. Verify that your water flow is even across the entire evaporator before diagnosing the refrigeration system.

Normal Operation Example below is for normal operation at 86°F (30°C) air temperature 68°F (20°C) water temperature. FREEZE CYCLE • Normal suction line temperature at the compressor will range from 86°F (30°C) three minutes into the cycle to 8°F (-13°C) at the end of the freeze cycle. •...
Page 133
Abnormal temperatures Higher than normal freeze cycle temperatures. • A dirty filter or condenser will result in higher than normal temperatures. Always clean the filter and condenser before diagnosing the refrigeration system. • Hot water entering the ice machine will result in high suction and discharge line temperatures in the freeze cycle.
ICE PRODUCTION CHECK The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to the operating water and air temperatures. This means an ice machine with a 70°F (21°C) ambient temperature and 50°F (10°C) water produces more ice than the same ice machine with 90°F (32°C) ambient and 70°F (21°C) water.

UDE0065 Refrigeration Diagnostics Perform the procedures on the preceding pages before performing refrigeration diagnostics. The first pages cover an overview of the diagnostic procedures followed by diagnostics checklists. Install thermometer thermocouples on Suction and Discharge line: • Digital thermometers with remote thermocouples must be used to obtain temperatures.
FLOODING EXPANSION VALVE SYMPTOMS A flooding expansion valve will have discharge and suction line temperatures 20°F (-7°C) lower than normal freeze cycle temperatures. Normal suction line temperature and low discharge line temperature DO NOT verify a flooding valve. Both discharge line temperature and suction line temperature must be low to verify a flooding expansion valve.
ANALYZING ICE FORMATION PATTERN Evaporator ice formation pattern analysis is helpful in ice machine diagnostics. Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot diagnose an ice machine malfunction. However, when this analysis is used along with Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, it can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
Page 141
Extremely Thin at Evaporator Outlet There is no ice, or a considerable lack of ice formation on the outlet of the evaporator. Examples: No ice at all at the outlet of the evaporator, but ice forms at the inlet half of the evaporator. Or, the ice at the outlet of the evaporator reaches the correct thickness, but the outlet of the evaporator already has 1/2”...
ANALYZING DISCHARGE LINE TEMPERATURE 1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions: Air temperature entering condenser ______ Air temperature around ice machine ______ Water temperature entering sump trough ______ 2.

COMPARING EVAPORATOR INLET/OUTLET TEMPERATURES The temperatures of the suction line entering and leaving the evaporator alone cannot diagnose an ice machine. However, comparing these temperatures during the freeze cycle can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction. The actual temperatures entering and leaving the evaporator vary by model, and change throughout the freeze cycle.
DISCHARGE LINE TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS GENERAL Knowing if the discharge line temperature is increasing, decreasing or remaining constant can be an important diagnostic tool. Maximum compressor discharge line temperature on a normally operating ice machine steadily increases throughout the freeze cycle. Comparing the temperatures over several cycles will result in a consistent maximum discharge line temperature.
Page 149
Discharge Line Temperature Above 150°F (66°C) at End of Freeze Cycle: Ice machines that are operating normally will have consistent maximum discharge line temperatures above 150°F (66°C). Verify the expansion valve sensing bulb is positioned and secured correctly. Discharge Line Temperature Below 150°F (66°C) at End of Freeze Cycle Ice machines that have a flooding expansion valve will have a maximum discharge line temperature that decreases...
HARVEST VALVE General The harvest valve is an electrically operated valve that opens when energized, and closes when de-energized. Normal Operation The valve is de-energized (closed) during the freeze cycle and energized (open) during the harvest cycle. The valve is positioned between the and the evaporator and performs two functions: 1.
Page 151
Harvest Valve Analysis The valve can fail in two positions: • Valve will not open in the harvest cycle. • Valve remains open during the freeze cycle. VALVE WILL NOT OPEN IN THE HARVEST CYCLE Although the circuit board has initiated a harvest cycle, the evaporator temperature remains unchanged from the freeze cycle.
Page 152
Use the following procedure and table to help determine if a harvest valve is remaining partially open during the freeze cycle. 1. Wait five minutes into the freeze cycle. 2. Feel the inlet of the harvest valve(s). Ipprttat Feeling the harvest valve outlet or across the harvest valve itself will not work for this comparison.

Troubleshooting UDE0080 DIAGNOSING AN ICE MACHINE THAT WILL NOT RUN Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board (terminals #2 and #4) at all times. Removing control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board.
SAFETY LIMIT FEATURE In addition to the standard safety controls, your Manitowoc ice machine features built-in safety limits that will stop the ice machine if conditions arise which could cause a major component failure. Safety Limit #1: If the freeze time reaches 60 minutes, the control board automatically initiates a harvest cycle.
Page 156
Determining Which Safety Limit Stopped the Ice Machine: When a safety limit condition causes the ice machine to stop, the harvest light on the control board continually flashes on and off. Use the following procedures to determine which safety limit has stopped the ice machine. 1.
Page 157

Filter-Driers Liquid Line Filter Drier The filter-drier used on Manitowoc ice machines are manufactured to Manitowoc specifications. The difference between a Manitowoc drier and an off- the-shelf drier is in filtration. A Manitowoc drier has dirt-retaining filtration, with fiberglass filters on both the inlet and outlet ends.
Refrigerant Recovery/Evacuation DEFINITIONS Recover To remove refrigerant, in any condition, from a system and store it in an external container, without necessarily testing or processing it in any way. Recycle To clean refrigerant for re-use by oil separation and single or multiple passes through devices, such as replaceable core filter-driers, which reduce moisture, acidity and particulate matter.
REFRIGERANT RE-USE POLICY Manitowoc recognizes and supports the need for proper handling, re-use, and disposal of refrigerants. Manitowoc service procedures require recapturing refrigerants, not venting them to the atmosphere. It is not necessary, in or out of warranty, to reduce or compromise the quality and reliability of your customers’...
