  • Page 16: Maintenance And Cleaning

    FM2400 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The FM2400 is made up of two separate ice makers; to properly clean and maintain the FM2400, these steps must be followed for both systems. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business.
  • Page 17 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING The FM2400 is made up of two separate ice makers; to properly clean and maintain the FM2400, these steps must be followed for both systems. ///////////////////////////WARNING///////////////////////////// Disconnect electrical power before beginning. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1. The bin control uses devices that sense light, therefore they must be kept clean enough so that they can “see”.
  • Page 18 FM2400 MAINTENANCE: Air Cooled 5. Clean each air cooled condenser. Use a vacuum cleaner or coil cleaner if needed. Do NOT use a wire brush. ////////////////////////////WARNING/////////////////////////////// Disconnect electrical power. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A. Remove top panel. PANEL B. Remove two screws, and unplug the fan motors.
  • Page 19 Clean the auger and evaporator as required. DO NOT HONE THE EVAPORATOR. 8. Replace the water seal. 9. Reverse to reassemble. June, 1989 Page 19 FM2400 ALLEN SCREWS BREAKER & BEARING & AUGER ASSEMBLY...
  • Page 20: Service Diagnosis

    FM2400 SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced STATUS: NOTHING OPERATES A. Check: Voltage to the unit, restore it if there is none. Compare to the nameplate. B. Check: The master switch, switch ON if off. C. Check: The 3 reset switches, (circuit board, high and low pressure): depress and release each switch.
  • Page 21 If the bin empty light is still OFF, check the circuit board. 1. Unplug “opto trans” and “LED” connectors from the circuit board. 2. Plug “opto trans” and “LED” connectors from the Scotsman Electronic Control Testor Model NM1 into the circiut board.
  • Page 22 FM2400 SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Produced STATUS: GEARMOTOR OPERATES, COMPRESSOR DOES NOT A. Check the compressor relay. The relay is on the circuit board, if it does not supply power to the contactor coil, the compressor will not run.
  • Page 23 FM2400 SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - Low Ice Production STATUS: EVERYTHING IS OPERATING A. Check the air cooled condenser for dirt. Clean as required. Check the head pressure on water cooled. Adjust as required. If the head pressure is very high: 1.
