ICE MAKER
AND DISPENSER
OPERATION
PRINCIPLE
AND REPAIR
METHOD
2, Function
of Ice Maker
2-1. Initial
Control
Function
1. When power is initially applied or reapplied after power cut, it detects level of ice maker cube mould after completion of
MICOM initialization.
The detecting
lever moves up and down.
2. The level of ice maker cube mould is judged by output signal, high and low signal, of Hall IC. Make the cube mould to be
horizontal
by rotating ice ejection motor in normal or reverse direction so that High/Low
signal can be applied to MICOM
Pin No. 44.
3. If there is no change in signals one minute after the geared motor starts to operate, it stops icemaker operation and check
the signal every hour. It resets initialization
of icemaker
when it becomes
normal
4. it judges that the initial control is completed
when it judges the ice maker cube mould is horizontal
5. Ice ejection conducts for 1 cycle irrespect of ice in the ice bank when power is initially applied.
2-2, Water
Supply
Control
Function
t. This is to supply water into the ice maker cube mould by operating water valve in the machine room when ice ejection
control is completed
and ice maker mould is even.
2. The quantity of water supplied is determined
by DIP switch and time.

REMARKS
* The quantity of water supplied
depends on DIP switch setting
conditions
and water pressure as it L,
a direct tap water connection type.
(the water supplied is generally 80 cc
to 120 cc)
* DIP switch is on the main PWB.
3. If water supply quantity setting is changed while power is on, water supplies for the amended time. If DIP switch is
changed during water supply, water shall be supplied for the previous setting time. But it will supply for the amended time
from the next supply.
4. When water supply signal is applied to water and ice valves at the same time during water supply, water shall be supplied
to water valve. If water supply signal is applied to ice valve dunng water supply, water shall be supplied to both water and
ice valves.
2-3. Ice Making
Control
Function
1. Ice making control is carried out from the completion of water supply to the completion of ice making in the cube mould.
Ice making sensor detects the temperature
of cube mould and completes ice making, (ice making sensor is fixed below
ice maker cube mould)
2. Ice making control starts after completion of water supply control or initial control.
3. It is judged that ice making is completed
when ice making sensor temperature reaches at -8°C after 100 minutes when
water is supplied to ice maker cube mould.
4. It is judged that ice making is completed when ice maker sensor temperature reaches below -12 °C after 20 minutes in
condition 3.
