DIAGNOSTICS & TROUBLESHOOTING

OPTICS DIAGNOSTICS MODE

Diagnostics are used to determine whether the
optics circuits are operating properly. If the
optics circuits are malfunctioning, the ice maker
will not operate.
The optics system consists of an emitter board
and a receiver board. The emitter board trans-
mits a beam of infrared light that is detected
by the receiver. If the beam of light is inter-
rupted, the ice maker will not operate.
