C. Sequence of Electrical Circuit 1. Icemaker 1. When the power switch is moved to the “ON” position and the flush switch to the “ICE” position, water starts to be supplied to the reservoir.
Page 19
2. When the reservoir has been filled, the gear motor starts immediately.
Page 20
3. The pumpdown solenoid valve energizes about 60 sec. after the gear motor starts.
Page 21
4a. The bin control sensor operates and the pumpdown solenoid deenergizes after a time delay set by the user. 60 seconds after that the gear motor stops.
Page 22
4b. Should the bin control sensor fail and the bin control switch operate, the pumpdown solenoid valve and gear motor will stop simultaneously 6 sec. after operation.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. IMPORTANT 1. The Polyolester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. See the rating label on the control box in the icemaker for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No.
4) Turn the power supply to the condensing unit back on. 5) Once the automatic pumpdown cycle is complete and the condensing unit shuts itself down, turn off the power supply to the condensing unit. 6) Close the suction line shut-off valve by rotating the valve stem clockwise until it is fully seated.
C. Service for Condensing Unit Note: 1. The condensing unit is wired independently from the icemaker. The compressor and condenser fan motor energize when the suction line primary low pressure switch closes. This switch has a cut-out point of 9 psig and a cut-in point of 29 psig. Because of the independent wiring, the condensing unit may periodically energize for short periods of time in order to keep suction pressures from building.
8) Sandpaper the discharge, suction and access pipes. 9) Place the compressor in position and secure it using the bolts. 10) Remove plugs from the discharge, suction and access pipes. 11) Braze the access, suction and discharge lines (Do not change this order), while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 - 4 psig.
7) Install the new drier in the icemaker. 8) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 psig) and soap bubbles. 9) Evacuate the system. Charge it with refrigerant. See the rating label on the control box in the icemaker. 10) Replace the panels in their correct position.
E. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve IMPORTANT Sometimes moisture in the refrigerant circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacements have been made.
F. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator Assembly 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Move the flush switch to the “FLUSH” position. 4) Turn on the power supply and drain out all water from the water line. 5) Turn off the power supply.
Page 44
Evaporator Note: Skip the following steps 13) through 15) when the evaporator does not need replacement. 13) See chapter V, section A. 2. b) and perform the partial evacuation procedure. 14) Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container, if required by an applicable law.
Page 45
Gear Motor 24) Remove the coupling-spline on the gear motor shaft. 25) Remove the barrier on the top of the gear motor. 26) Remove the three socket head cap screws securing the gear motor. 27) Assemble the removed parts in the reverse order of the above procedure. WARNING Be careful not to scratch the surface of the O-ring or it may cause water leaks.

G. Removal and Replacement of Control Water Valve 1) Turn off the power supply, remove the panels and close the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Disconnect the terminals from the control water valve. 3) Loosen the fitting nut on the control water valve inlets and remove the control water valve. Do not lose the packings inside the fitting nut.
H. Removal and Replacement of Flush Water Valve 1) Turn off the power supply, remove the panels and close the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Remove the clamp and disconnect the flush water valve. Note: Water may still remain inside the evaporator. Be sure to drain the water into the drain pan.
VI. Cleaning and Maintenance IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. A. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage WARNING When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin.
1. Cleaning Solution Dilute 4.8 fl. oz. (142 ml) of recommended cleaner Hoshizaki “Scale Away” or “LIME-A-WAY” (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 0.8 gallons (3 l) of warm water. This is a minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary.
Page 51
9) Replace the control water valve in its correct position. 10) Remove the strap connecting the spout to the chute assembly. 11) Remove the thumbscrews securing the spout and lift it off. 12) Pour the cleaning solution over the extruding head until the evaporator assembly and the reservoir are filled and the solution starts to overflow into the drain pan.
3. Sanitizing Solution Dilute 2.5 fl. oz. (74 ml or 5 tbs) of IMS-II Sanitizer or a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 5 gallons (19 l) of warm water. IMPORTANT For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after dilution.
14) Replace all parts in their correct positions. IMPORTANT When installing the baffles, make sure that the bent surface (the one without the studs) faces the actuator so that the bent surface can guide the ice to the center of the actuator. 15) Move the flush switch to the “ICE”...
Page 54
16) When the gear motor starts, remove the front panel and turn off the power supply. 17) Drain out all water from the water line. See 2) and 3). 18) Move the flush switch to the “ICE” position and run the icemaker. 19) Turn off the power supply after 30 minutes.
Consult with your local distributor about inspection and maintenance service. To obtain the name and phone number of your local distributor, call Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 in the USA. 1) Stainless Steel Exterior To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
