VOLTAGE READINGS AT GREEN COIL OF SECONDARY VALVE
When Ice Maker is Filling:
Voltage at Outlet
120 VAC
100 VAC
100 - 120 VAC
VOLTAGE READING AT YELLOW COIL OF SECONDARY VALVE
When Filling A Glass With Water:
Voltage at Outlet
120 VAC
100 VAC
100 - 120 VAC
TECHNICAL NOTE: All readings are for 120 volt units. Similar voltage drops will be found on 220 volt units.
VOLTAGE READING AT COIL OF PRIMARY VALVE
When Ice Maker is filling:
Voltage at 0utlet
120 VAC
100 VAC
100 - 120 VAC
100 - 120 VAC
NOTE: Remember that with the current flowing to the Primary Valve Coil through the Diode, you are
getting 30 cycle current instead of 60 cycle current at the coil of the Primary Valve. Because of this,
your volt meter will only read about 1/2 the voltage that is going to the coil. The change in the cycle of
current does not effect the efficiency of an electromagnetic coil.
