Ice Making Sequence of Operation Q0600C/Q0800C/Q1000C/SU1000C Initial Start-Up or Start-Up After Automatic Shut-Off 1. Water Purge Before the compressor starts, the water pump and water dump solenoid are energized for 45 seconds to purge the ice machine of old water. This ensures that the ice-making cycle starts with fresh water.
Freeze Sequence 3. Prechill The compressor is on for 30 seconds prior to water flow to prechill the evaporator. The water fill valve remains on until the water level probe is satisfied. 4. Freeze The water pump restarts after the 30-second prechill. An even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and into each cube cell, where it freezes.
Harvest Sequence 5. Water Purge The water pump continues to run, and the water dump valve energizes for 45 seconds to purge the water in the sump trough. The water fill valve energizes for the last 15 seconds of the 45-second water purge. After the 45-second water purge, the water fill valve, water pump and dump valve de-energize.
Automatic Shut-Off 7. Automatic Shut-Off Ice Machine Section: When the storage bin is full at the end of a Harvest sequence, the sheet of ice cubes fails to clear the water curtain and will hold it open. After the water curtain is held open for 7 seconds, the ice machine shuts off.

Electrical System COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS AND DIAGNOSTICS CONTROL BOARD ® All QuietQube control boards incorporate the following features. Refer to “Sequence of Operation” for additional information specific to your model. Harvest/Safety Limit Light This light’s primary function is to be on as water contacts the ice thickness probe during the Freeze cycle, and remain on throughout the entire Harvest cycle.
Three-Minute Delay The three-minute delay is initiated whenever the ice machine cycles off (automatic shut-off) on a full bin. The delay period starts when a water curtain is open for 7 continuous seconds in the Harvest cycle. If the 3-minute delay period has expired, closure of the water curtain will initiate an immediate start-up of a Freeze sequence.
MAIN FUSE Function The control board fuse stops ice machine operation if electrical components fail, causing high amp draw. Specifications The main fuse is 250 Volt, 7 amp. Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board (terminals #55 and #56) at all times. Removing the control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board.
BIN SWITCH Function Movement of the water curtain controls bin switch operation. The bin switch has two main functions: 1. Terminating the Harvest cycle and returning the ice machine to the Freeze cycle. This occurs when the bin switch is opened and closed again within 7 seconds during the Harvest cycle.
Check Procedure 1. Set the toggle switch to OFF. 2. Watch the bin switch light on the control board. 3. Move the water curtain toward the evaporator. The bin switch must close. The bin switch light “on” indicates the bin switch has closed properly. 4.
Water Curtain Removal Notes The water curtain must be on (bin switch closed) to start ice making. While a Freeze cycle is in progress, the water curtain can be removed and installed at any time without interfering with the electrical control sequence.
ICE/OFF/CLEAN TOGGLE SWITCH Function The switch is used to place the ice machine in ICE, OFF or CLEAN mode of operation. Specifications Double-pole, double-throw switch. The switch is connected into a varying low D.C. voltage circuit. Check Procedure NOTE: Because of a wide variation in D.C. voltage, it is not recommended that a voltmeter be used to check toggle switch operation.
ICE THICKNESS PROBE (HARVEST INITIATION) How the Probe Works Manitowoc’s electronic sensing circuit does not rely on refrigerant pressure, evaporator temperature, water levels or timers to produce consistent ice formation. As ice forms on the evaporator, water (not ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After the water completes this circuit across the probe continuously for 6-10 seconds, a Harvest cycle is initiated.
Ice Thickness Probe Diagnostics Before diagnosing ice thickness control circuitry clean the ice thickness probe using the following procedure. 1. Mix a solution of Manitowoc ice machine cleaner and water (2 ounces of cleaner to 16 ounces of water) in a container.
Diagnosing Ice Thickness Control Circuitry ICE MACHINE DOES NOT CYCLE INTO HARVEST WHEN WATER CONTACTS THE ICE THICKNESS CONTROL PROBE Step 1. Bypass the freeze time lock-in feature by moving the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and back to ICE. Wait until the water starts to flow over the evaporator.
Page 107
Step 3. Disconnect the ice thickness probe from the control board at terminal 1C. Clip the jumper wire leads to terminal 1C on the control board and any cabinet ground. Monitor the Harvest light. Harvest Light On The harvest light comes on, and 6-10 seconds later, the ice machine cycles from Freeze to Harvest.
Page 108
ICE MACHINE CYCLES INTO HARVEST BEFORE WATER CONTACT WITH THE ICE THICKNESS PROBE Step 1. Disconnect the ice thickness probe from the control board at terminal 1C. Step 2. Bypass the freeze time lock-in feature by moving the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and back to ICE.
WATER LEVEL CONTROL CIRCUITRY Q0600C/Q0800C/Q1000C/QDUAL Only The water level probe circuit can be monitored by watching the water level light. The water level light is on when water contacts the probe, and off when no water is in contact with the probe. The water level light functions any time power is applied to the ice machine, regardless of toggle switch position.
Page 110
FREEZE CYCLE CIRCUITRY Manitowoc’s electronic sensing circuit does not rely on float switches or timers to maintain consistent water level control. During the Freeze cycle, the water inlet valve energizes (turns on) and de-energizes (turns off) in conjunction with the water level probe located in the water trough.
Page 111
DIAGNOSING WATER LEVEL CONTROL CIRCUITRY Q0600C/Q0800C/Q1000C/QDUAL Only Problem: Water Trough Overfilling During the Freeze Cycle Step 1.

Step 3. Leave the ice machine run, and then disconnect the water level probe from control board terminal 1F. Important For the test to work properly you must wait until the Freeze cycle starts, prior to disconnecting the water level probe. If you restart the test, you must reconnect the water level probe, restart the ice machine (step 1), and then disconnect the water level probe after the compressor starts.
DIAGNOSING AN ICE MACHINE HEAD SECTION THAT WILL NOT RUN Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board at all times. Removing control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board.
DIAGNOSING A CONDENSING UNIT THAT WILL NOT RUN If the ice machine water pump is not energized, refer to “Diagnosing an Ice Machine Head Section that Will Not Run.” 1. Verify primary voltage is supplied to ice machine condensing unit and the fuse/circuit breaker is closed.
COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS The compressor does not start or will trip repeatedly on overload. Check Resistance (Ohm) Values NOTE: Compressor windings can have very low ohm values. Use a properly calibrated meter. Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools. The compressor dome should be cool enough to touch (below 120°F/49°C) to assure that the overload is closed and the resistance readings will be accurate.
Page 119
CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS TO GROUND Check continuity between all three terminals and the compressor shell or copper refrigeration line. Scrape metal surface to get good contact. If continuity is present, the compressor windings are grounded and the compressor should be replaced. To determine if the compressor is seized, check the amp draw while the compressor is trying to start.
DIAGNOSING START COMPONENTS If the compressor attempts to start, or hums and trips the overload protector, check the start components before replacing the compressor. CAPACITOR Visual evidence of capacitor failure can include a bulged terminal end or a ruptured membrane. Do not assume a capacitor is good if no visual evidence is present.
A dirty evaporator increases the length of the harvest cycle and will cause the ice machine to shut off on safety limit #2. All Manitowoc Ice Machines must have their evaporator(s) cleaned first, if a safety limit #2 is in memory.
Page 128
vapor refrigerant leaves the evaporator and passes through the heat exchanger absorbing additional heat from the liquid line. The suction vapor returns to the condensing unit, passes through the suction accumulator and enters the compressor. HARVEST CYCLE The head pressure control valve bypasses the condenser and sends compressor discharge gas directly to the receiver.
Page 129
SUCTION ACCUMULATOR OPERATION Liquid refrigerant collects in the suction accumulator during the harvest cycle and is removed during the freeze cycle. The liquid refrigerant is returned to the compressor through a screen and orifice in the suction accumulator J tube. Passing the liquid through the orifice causes a pressure drop;...

REFRIGERANT CHARGE Refrigerant charge on QuietQube ice machines is very important. Overcharged or undercharged machines will normally fail in the harvest cycle (produces even sheets of ice, but will not harvest). Undercharged ice machines run out of liquid refrigerant in the receiver during harvest. This increases the harvest cycle time and results in a safety limit #2 failure.
ICE MACHINE WILL NOT HARVEST DIAGNOSTICS Ice relaease issues fall into two main categories mechanical or refrigeration. The first step in solving an ice release issue is to determine which condition exists. At the end of the harvest cycle place the toggle switch in the OFF position, then remove and inspect the sheet of ice.
ICE PRODUCTION CHECK The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to the operating water and air temperatures. This means a condensing unit with a 70°F (21.2°C) outdoor ambient temperature and 50°F (10.0°C) water produces more ice than the same model condensing unit with a 90°F (32.2°C) outdoor ambient temperature and 70°F (21.2°C) water.
Another ice machine is required. More storage capacity is required. Relocating the existing equipment to lower the load conditions is required. Contact the local Manitowoc Distributor for information on available options and accessories. Installation/Visual Inspection Checklist Possible Problem List ...
Water System Checklist A water-related problem often causes the same symptoms as a refrigeration system component malfunction. Example: A water dump valve leaking during the Freeze cycle, a system low on charge, and a starving TXV have similar symptoms. Water system problems must be identified and eliminated prior to replacing refrigeration components.
Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot diagnose an ice machine malfunction. However, when this analysis is used along with Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, it can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction. Any number of problems can cause improper ice formation.
Page 136
Ice Formation Patterns 1. Normal Ice Formation Ice forms across the entire evaporator surface. At the beginning of the Freeze cycle, it may appear that more ice is forming at the evaporator inlet, than on the evaporator outlet. At the end of the Freeze cycle, ice formation at the outlet will be close to, or just a bit thinner than, ice formation at the inlet.
Page 137
4. Spotty Ice Formation There are small sections on the evaporator where there is no ice formation. This could be a single corner or a single spot in the middle of the evaporator. Refer to Evaporator Tubing Routing on the previous page to determine your specific models tubing confirmation.
Safety Limits GENERAL In addition to standard safety controls, such as the high-pressure cutout, the control board has two built-in safety limit controls which protect the ice machine from major component failures. There are two control boards with different safety limit sequences. The microprocessor chip can identify the control boards.
Page 139
Safety Limit #2: If the harvest time reaches 3.5 minutes, the control board automatically returns the ice machine to the Freeze cycle. Control board with orange label and 302 on microprocessor. If 500 consecutive 3.5 minute harvest cycles occur, the ice machine stops.
Page 140
SAFETY LIMIT INDICATION Control Board with Black Microprocessor When a safety limit condition causes the ice machine to stop, the harvest light on the control board continually flashes on and off. Use the following procedures to determine which safety limit has stopped the ice machine.
Page 141
When a safety limit condition is exceeded (6 consecutive cycles for safety limit #1 or 500 cycles for safety limit #2) the ice machine stops, and the harvest light on the control board flashes on and off. Use the following procedure to determine which safety limit has stopped the ice machine.

COOL VAPOR VALVE The cool vapor valve is an electrically operated valve that opens when energized, and closes when de- energized. Normal Operation The valve is de-energized (closed) during the Freeze cycle and energized (open) during the Harvest cycle. The valve is positioned between the receiver and the evaporator and performs two functions: 1.
As the size of the leak increases, the audible indication becomes more apparent. Refer to the Parts Manual for proper valve application. If replacement is necessary, use only “original” Manitowoc replacement parts. –147–...
Freeze Cycle Suction Line Temperature Analysis Suction line temperature alone cannot diagnose an ice machine. However, comparing this temperature during the Freeze cycle while using Manitowoc’s Refrigeration Component Analysis Chart, will help diagnose an ice machine malfunction. The actual temperature of the suction line varies by model and will change throughout the Freeze cycle.

Manitowoc QuietQube systems require headmaster control valves with special settings. Replace defective headmaster control valves only with “original” Manitowoc replacement parts. FREEZE CYCLE OPERATION Air-Cooled Models During low ambient conditions, it is normal for the head pressure control valve to hunt (head pressure may fluctuate up and down) on CVD condensing units.
Page 163
HARVEST CYCLE OPERATION During the Harvest cycle, the cool vapor valve opens and allows refrigerant from the top of the receiver tank to enter the evaporator. The refrigerants change of state (from vapor to liquid) releases the heat necessary for the Harvest cycle. Opening the cool vapor valve causes a drop in discharge pressure.
Page 164
DIAGNOSING AIR-COOLED CONDENSING UNITS Freeze Cycle 1. Determine the air temperature entering the remote condenser. 2. Determine if the head pressure is high or low in relationship to the outside temperature. (Refer to the proper “Operational Pressure Chart.”) If the air temperature is below 70°F (21.1°C), the head pressure control will modulate to maintain the correct liquid line temperature and head pressure.

REFRIGERANT CHARGE VERIFICATION QuietQube remote ice machines require the correct amount of refrigerant (name plate charge) to operate correctly at all ambient conditions. An ice machine with an over or under charge of refrigerant may function properly at higher ambient temperatures and fails at lower ambient temperatures.
Page 171
Overcharge Symptoms Safety limit #2 in control board memory. Harvest cycle suction pressure is low. Harvest cycle discharge pressure is normal. Freeze cycle time, suction and discharge pressure are normal and the ice machine will not harvest. The sheet of ice cubes show little or no sign of melting when removed from the evaporator after the harvest cycle has been completed.
Water Regulating Valve Function The water regulating valve maintains the freeze cycle discharge pressure. The valve setting for the CVD1476 condensing unit is 240 psig. Check Procedure 1. Determine if the head pressure is high or low (refer to “Operational Pressure Chart”. 2.
Fan Cycle Control CVD0875/CVD1075/CVD1475/CVD1875/CVD2075 FUNCTION Energizes and de-energizes the condenser fan motor.

Liquid Line Filter-Drier The filter-driers used on Manitowoc ice machines are manufactured to Manitowoc specifications. The difference between a Manitowoc drier and an off- the-shelf drier is in filtration. A Manitowoc drier has dirt-retaining filtration, with fiberglass filters on both the inlet and outlet ends.
Suction Line Filter The suction filter traps particulate only and does not contain a desiccant. The filter needs replacement when: 1. The pressure drop across the drier exceeds 2 psig. 2. The total system refrigerant charge has escaped and the refrigeration system has been exposed to the atmosphere.
TOTAL SYSTEM REFRIGERANT CHARGE Important This information is for reference only. Refer to the ice machine serial number tag to verify the system charge. Serial plate information overrides information listed on this page. Refrigerant Condensing Line Set Model Charge Unit Length (lbs.
REFRIGERANT OIL Manitowoc QuietQube ice machines use POE oil. The recommended lubricant is Mobil EAL22A. Refrigeration systems exposed to atmosphere for more than 5 minutes must have the compressor oil changed. The compressor must be removed and at least 95% of the oil must be removed through the suction port of the compressor.
REFRIGERANT DEFINITIONS RECOVER To remove refrigerant, in any condition, from a system and store it in an external container, without necessarily testing or processing it in any way. RECYCLE To clean refrigerant for reuse by oil separation and single or multiple passes through devices, such as replaceable core filter-driers, which reduce moisture, acidity and particulate matter.
Important Manitowoc Ice, Inc. assumes no responsibility for use of contaminated refrigerant. Damage resulting from the use of contaminated, recovered, or recycled refrigerant is the sole responsibility of the servicing company.
