B. Sequence of Operation The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, a 5 second delay occurs at startup. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is 1, 4, 3, 2. 1.
C. Control Board • A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-1601SWH, KM-1601SWH3, KM-1601SRH, and KM-1601SRH3 Stackable Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. A control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge.

2. Features a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes Inlet water valve opening, in the harvest cycle, is limited by the harvest timer. The water valve cannot remain open longer than the maximum period. The water valve can close in less than six minutes if the harvest cycle is completed.
f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties The red LED indicates proper control voltage and will remain on unless a control voltage problem occurs. At startup a 5 second delay occurs while the board conducts an internal timer check. A short beep occurs when the power is turned off. The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, call the HOSHIZAKI Technical Support Department at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting will decrease 24 hour production.
c) Pump-Out Timer (dip switch 3 & 4) When a freeze cycle is completed, the pump motor stops, and the icemaker resumes operation in 2 seconds. Then, during cycles when a pump out is called for, the pump motor drains the water tank for the time determined by the pump-out timer. The pump- out timer also acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump out.
e) Freeze Timer (dip switch 9 & 10) CAUTION Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly. The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent possible freeze-up issues. Upon termination of freeze timer, machine initiates the harvest cycle.
5. Control Board Replacement The application switch located between relay X3 & X4 must be set to match the original board application. Place this switch in the "ALP" position if there is no white wire supplied to the K1 connector. If there is a white wire, place the switch in the "C" position. If this switch is placed in the wrong position either the compressor contactor will remain energized with the control switch in the "OFF"...

IV. Service Diagnosis A. 10-Minute KM Diagnostic Procedure The 10 minute check out procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used at unit start-up or for system diagnosis. Using this check out procedure will allow you to diagnose electrical system and component failures in approximately 10 minutes under normal operating conditions of 70°F or warmer air and 50°F or warmer water temperatures.
2, 5, or 10 cycles. The factory default for KM-1601SWH/3 is every 10 cycles and the factory default for KM-1601SRH/3 depends on the water valve installed. See "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings.") The unit always restarts at the 1 minute fill cycle.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT 1. Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 2. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
For air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, see the rating label inside the icemaker. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
B. Removal and Replacement of Compressor IMPORTANT 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. Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
C. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve IMPORTANT Sometimes moisture in the refrigeration circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. 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.
D. Removal and Replacement of Hot Gas Valve and Line Valve IMPORTANT 1. Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas lines; otherwise the performance may be reduced. 2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
E. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels and the top insulation over the evaporator.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line drain valve. 5) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.
H. Removal and Replacement of Headmaster (Condensing Pressure Regulator - C.P.R.) - Remote Air-Cooled Model Only IMPORTANT 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.
I. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor IMPORTANT 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. Always use a recommended sealant (High Thermal Conductive Type), Model KE4560RTV manufactured by SHINETSU SILICONE, Part Code 60Y000-11, or Part Code 4A0683-01 equivalent. 3. Always use a recommended foam insulation (Non-absorbent Type) or equivalent.
J. Removal and Replacement of Fan Motor Note: When replacing a fan motor with defective winding, it is recommended that a new capacitor be installed. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Remove the junction box cover from the remote condenser unit (remote air-cooled model).
L. Removal and Replacement of Pump Motor 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel. 3) Drain the water tank by removing the cap located on the front bottom part of the ice dropping hole. See Fig. 3. Fig.
A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions WARNING 1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this icemaker at least once a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions. 2. To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 27 fl. oz. (800 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME-A- WAY" (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 5 gal. (19 l) of warm water. 2) Remove all ice from the evaporator and the storage bin.
18) Replace the front panel in its correct position. 19) Turn on the power supply to fill the water tank with water. 20) Turn off the power supply after 3 minutes. 21) Remove the front panel and fully open the cleaning valve. 22) Move the control switch to the "WASH"...
B. Maintenance IMPORTANT This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction manual and labels provided with the icemaker. 1. Stainless Steel Exterior To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up. 2.

2. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line: 1) If you have not already done so, turn off the power supply and remove the front panel. 2) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve and open the icemaker water supply line drain valve.
