Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment - U-Line 2115R Service Manual

Section 3 - Service and Repair

Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment

INTERVAL - AS REQUIRED
Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control panel as follows:
1. To enter the thickness adjustment mode:
a. Touch and hold the UP ARROW button.
b. Touch and release the DOWN ARROW button three times,
then release the UP ARROW button.
c. The display will switch to "0" to confirm the thickness
adjustment mode has been selected.
2. The factory setting is "0," and the total range of adjustment is -5 to
+5 (ideal range is -1 to +1). Use the UP ARROW button to raise
the setting and thicken the ice bridge, or the DOWN ARROW
button to lower the setting to thin the ice bridge.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
Ice thickness adjustment should only be made one
increment at a time. Allow ice maker production to stabilize
for 24 hours before rechecking ice thickness.
3. Touch and release the LIGHT button key to exit the ice thickness
adjustment mode.
4. Remove all ice from the storage bin.

Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary to choose
cubes from the sample area for comparison when making
adjustments. If further adjustments are desired, repeat Steps 1
through 4.
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall performance.
The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of
approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under normal conditions resulting in a
dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" in depth. A fuller cube with less
of a dimple results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge becomes
thicker, the tendency for the cubes to stay together as a slab
increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" may cause cubes to overfill the
ice bucket.
