  • Page 15: Service Diagnosis

    B. Service Diagnosis WARNING • The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • Risk of electric shock. Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all loads.
  • Page 16 a) Sequence and Component Diagnosis 3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ON" position and the mode switch to the "ICE" position. A 5-sec. delay occurs. CB red "POWER" LED turns on. If CB orange "BIN CLS" LED is on, see "II.D.1.
  • Page 17 4) 1-Min. Fill Cycle – WV LED is on. WV energizes. After 1 min., CB checks for a closed FS. If FS is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If harvest cycle begins (Comp, HGV, FMR energized), continue to step 5a. If FS is open, fill cycle continues until FS closes (low water safety protection during initial start up and at the end of each harvest).
  • Page 18 5b) Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist) – Comp, PM, and FM/HGV LEDs are on. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2 and S5 dip switch 4).
  • Page 19 b) Comp and FMR Diagnosis: If Comp and FMR de-energize once freeze begins, check that appliance has not shut off on HPS (CB "POWER" LED off). If so, check "3)b) HPS Diagnosis" above. Comp Diagnosis: If CB "POWER" LED and Comp LED are on, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #9 (Y) to neutral (W).
  • Page 20 g) WRV Diagnosis: WRV is factory set and generally no adjustment is required. If WRV fails to open in freeze, check for proper refrigerant pressures. See "VIII.A. Specification and Performance Data Sheets." If refrigerant pressures are correct and WRV does not open, adjust or replace as needed. See "IV.C. Water Regulating Valve Adjustment (water-cooled model)."...
  • Page 21 Pump-Out Diagnosis: In the freeze cycle before pump-out (see table above), after 5 min. of freeze disconnect CB black K5 connector (FS connector). Check that PM stops and re-starts. Next, check that PM and DV energized (water flowing down the drain through DV). If PM does not stop and re-start, check that CB Comp, PM, and DV LEDs are on.

  • Page 22: Control Board Check

    C. Control Board Check Before replacing CB that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on CB while CB is beeping.
  • Page 23 4) To verify voltage output from CB to the components, slide the CB K1 connector out far enough to allow multimeter lead contact. With the icemaker in the cycle to be tested, check output voltage from the corresponding pin on CB K1 connector to a neutral (W) wire.

  • Page 24: Bin Control Check And Adjustment

    Note: It is strongly advised to keep a known "good" UBC sensor on your truck, for troubleshooting assistance. The ultrasonic bin control is factory set for use on Hoshizaki America standard ice storage bins. If mounted on a dispenser application or if a change to the ice level in an ice storage bin application is desired, see "II.D.2.
  • Page 25 4) Bin Empty Diagnosis: As water begins to fill the water tank (1-min. fill), place an object 5" to 7" (127 to 178 mm) away from the UBC lens. See Fig. 3. CB 5-sec. delay timer starts. "BIN CLS" LED turns on. CB 5-sec. delay timer terminates, CB 15-sec. delay timer starts.

  • Page 26: Ultrasonic Bin Control Adjustment

    • Failure to properly adjust the bin control setting could result in water leakage, ice backup, and icemaker damage. The ultrasonic bin control is factory set to 1 for use on Hoshizaki America standard ice storage bins. See the table below for adjustments to ice level.

  • Page 29: Float Switch Check And Cleaning

    E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning The FS is used to determine whether there is sufficient water in the water tank after the 1-min. fill cycle and after each harvest cycle. The FS is also used to determine that the appropriate volume of water has been converted into ice before switching out of the freeze cycle.
  • Page 30 Be careful not to bend the spring retainer clip excessively when removing it. See Fig. 8. 6) Wipe down the float switch bracket assembly, stem, and float with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.

  • Page 31: Thermistor Check

    F. Thermistor Check To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel. Move the control switch to the "OFF" position, then remove the top and right side panels. 3) Remove the thermistor from the refrigerant tubing. 4) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or 3 min.

    The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: S4 Dip Switch No. KMD-505MAJ, KMD-505MWJ, KMD-505MRJZ OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF KMD-705MAJ, KMD-705MWJ, KMD-705MRJZ OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF OFF OFF S5 Dip Switch (Do Not Adjust) Dip Switch No.

  • Page 41: Harvest Time (S4 Dip Switch 1 & 2)

    2. Harvest Time (S4 dip switch 1 & 2) The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C) at the evaporator outlet and the control board reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor. The harvest timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the drain provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning.

  • Page 42: Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 Dip Switch 5)

    4. Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5) The pump-out frequency control is factory set to drain the water tank every 10 cycles. Generally no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the icemaker needs a pump-out more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted. The pump-out frequency control can be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every10 cycles.

  • Page 43: Harvest Pump Time (Harvest Assist (S4 Dip Switch 7))

    In this case, see "II.I.3. Low Ice Production" for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set and no adjustment is required. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations.

  • Page 44: Float Switch Selector (S5 Dip Switch 1)

    9. Float Switch Selector (S5 dip switch 1) NOTICE Do not adjust. This must be left in the factory default position or the icemaker will not operate correctly. This dip switch setting allows use of this control board in single and dual float switch models.

  • Page 45: Anti-Slush (S5 Dip Switch 5)

    12. Anti-Slush (S5 dip switch 5) This dip switch setting provides anti-slush control during the freeze cycle. When the evaporator temperature reaches 36°F (2.2°C) the control board reads a 5.8 kΩ signal from the thermistor and de-energizes the water pump for 10 sec. to prevent slush from blocking the water supply tubing, causing irregular freeze patterns.
