1) Defrost Control A thermistor (Semiconductor) is used for a defrost control sensor. The resistance varies depending on the Suction Line temperatures. The Thermistor detects the temperature of the Evaporator outlet to start the Defrost Timer. No adjustment is required. If necessary, check for resistance between Thermistor leads, and visually check the Thermistor mounting, located on the Suction Line next to the Evaporator outlet.
Page 23
2) Defrost Timer No adjustment is required under normal use, as the Defrost Timer is adjusted to the suitable position. However, if necessary when all the ice formed on the Evaporator does not fall into the bin in the harvest cycle, adjust the Defrost Timer to longer setting by adjusting the Dip Switch (No.

SETTING Dip Switch No. 5 5) Freeze Timer Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly. Two new dip switches numbered 9 and 10 have been added to the improved “E” board to better prevent possible freeze ups. These settings come factory set to the default setting of 60 min.
MODELS WITH MECHANICAL BIN CONTROL Dip Switch No. 7 must be set to the ON position. If No. 7 is set to the OFF position, the machine will run continuously, causing a freeze-up condition. No adjustment is required. The Bin Control is factory-adjusted. [e] CHECKING THE CONTROLLER BOARD 1) Visually check the sequence with the icemaker operating.
3) Check the Controller Board by using test program of the Controller Board. The Output Test Switch “S3” provides a relay sequence test. With power OFF, place S3 on and switch power to ICE. The correct lighting sequence should be none, 2, 3, 4, 1, and 4, normal sequence every 5 seconds.
[c] TROUBLESHOOTING (MECHANICAL BIN CONTROL ONLY) 1) Machine will not start (i) Move dip switch No. 7 to the “OFF” position. If the machine starts up within a few seconds, the bin control is the likely problem. If the machine does not start up, refer to Section “IV.
