1. Refrigerator/Freezer/Prep Table The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation and proper voltage per nameplate. See the table for default cabinet temperature control dial settings. Model Default Cabinet Temperature Approximate Default Temperature...

b) CTCD Diagnosis: Confirm CTCD is set between 4 and 5. Check Ohm reading of CTCD. See "II.E) Cabinet Temperature Control Dial (CTCD)." c) CM Diagnosis: Confirm green LED is flashing. If not, check for 115VAC between CM 2 (L) black (BK) wire and CM 3 (N) neutral white (W) wire. If 115VAC is not present, check power cord connections and breaker/fuse.

5) Cool Down Achieved–Temperature cools to setpoint. Comp and ConFM de-energize. UC/WT Refrigerators and Freezers: EvapFM de-energizes. Prep Table: EvapFM continues. Diagnosis: If temperature setpoint achieved and Comp, ConFM, and EvapFM (except PT models) does not de-energize, check CTh and CTCD continuity. See "II.D.
Page 18
2b) Temperature or Time-Terminated: CTh (Refrigerator) or DTh (PT and Freezers) achieves termination temperature or backup DT terminates. (1) Refrigerator: 43 F (6.1 C) achieved or 20-min. backup DT terminates. If CTh ° ° calling for cooling, Comp and CondFM energize. EvapFM continues. (2) Prep Tables: 46 F (7.7 C) achieved or 45-min.
Page 19
3) Defrost Diagnosis: Initiation: Confirm Comp is energized, then manually initiate defrost. Rotate CTCD all the way to the right. Wait 1 to 5 sec. then rotate back to original setting. Defrost initiated. a) UC/WT Refrigerator: Check that Comp and ConFM de-energize. EvapFM continues.
C. Control Module Check 1. Control Module Before replacing a CM that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Always choose a neutral (W) to establish a good power supply and neutral connection to CM: 115VAC at CM 2 (L) (BK) 2.
Page 21
4. Defrost Termination 8) Check that all components restart after defrost termination. a) UC/WT Refrigerator: CTh warms to 43°F (6.1°C). Confirm continuity of CTh. See "II.D. Thermistor Check." Replace as needed. If CTh confirmed, replace CM. b) Prep Table: DTh warms to 46°F (7.7°C). DH de-energizes. Confirm continuity of DTh. See "II.D.
D. Thermistor Check The cabinet thermistor works in conjunction with cabinet temperature control dial (CTCD) to control cabinet temperature. The defrost thermistor is used for defrost initiation, defrost cycle termination, and evaporator fan motor control. • Prep Table: Defrost initiation is below 50°F (10°C). Defrost termination is 46°F (6.6°C).
E. Cabinet Temperature Control Dial (CTCD) The cabinet temperature control dial (CTCD) works in conjunction with the cabinet thermistor to control cabinet temperature. The warmest setting is 1 and the coldest setting is 7. The default CTCD setting is between 4 and 5. CTCD resistance varies depending on temperature.

2. Evaporator is Frozen Up Evaporator is Frozen Up - Possible Cause Evaporator Dirty. Evaporator Fan Motor Defective. Fan blade binding. Refrigerant Charge Low. Defrost Heater (if applicable) Defective. Control Module Defective. Defrost Safety Thermostat Open Defective. (if applicable) 3. Defrost Refrigerator Defrost Fails to Initiate - Possible Cause 1.
III. Controls and Adjustments A. Temperature Settings 1. Temperature Reading A thermometer with both °F and °C scales is mounted in the cabinet. See Fig. 1. 2. Cabinet Temperature The appliance features a cabinet temperature control dial (CTCD). The warmest setting is 1 and the coldest setting is 7.
Page 27
2. Prep Table and Freezer Time/Temperature-Initiated Defrost Cycle: Defrost cycle occurs once every 6 hrs. for prep tables or 8 hrs. for freezers when defrost initiation temperature achieved (50 F (10 C) for ° ° Prep Tables or 41 F (5 C) for the Freezers).
2. High-Pressure Switch If pressure on the high-side of the appliance exceeds Hoshizaki specifications, the high-pressure switch activates and interrupts the compressor circuit, de-energizing the compressor until the pressure returns to an acceptable level.
