Diagnosing an Ice Machine That Will Not Run
High (line) voltage is applied to the control board
(terminals #8 and #2) at all times. Removing
control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to
OFF will not remove the power supplied to the
control board.
Step
1
Verify primary voltage is supplied to ice
machine.
2
Verify control board fuse is OK.
3
Verify ICE/OFF/WASH toggle switch
functions properly.
4
Verify the bin thermostat functions
properly.
5
Verify low DC voltage is properly
grounded.
6
Replace the control board.

WARNING
Check
5
Verify that the fuse or circuit breaker is closed.
If the power light functions, the fuse is OK.
A defective toggle switch may keep the ice machine in
the OFF mode.
A defective bin thermostat can falsely indicate a full bin of
ice.
Loose DC wire connections may intermittently stop the ice
machine.
Be sure Steps 1-6 were followed thoroughly. Intermittent
problems are not usually related to the control board.
