C. Control Board  
• A Hoshizaki exclusive solid-state control board is employed in all Hoshizaki  
refrigerators and freezers.  
• All models are pretested and factory-adjusted.  
CAUTION  
1. Fragile, handle very carefully.  
ꢀ. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to  
failure due to static discharge. It is especially important to touch the metal  
part of the unit when handling or replacing the board.  
3. Do not touch the electronic devices on the board or the back of the board to  
prevent damage to the board.  
4. Do not attempt to repair the board in the field. Always replace the whole  
board assembly if it goes bad.  
5. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.  
6. Keep the thermistor leads, clogged filter sensor leads, and pressure switch  
leads at least 1.5" away from high voltage leads (AC 100 volts or more) to  
protect against electrical noise.  
1. Start-Up Delay  
The start circuit of the compressor is timed such that at power-up and during any  
compressor off time, there will be at least a ꢀ-minute delay before the compressor will  
start. This delay is controlled through the control board. To bypass the startup delay,  
move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Then press and hold the up arrow key  
while moving the power switch to the "ON" position.  
Note: The compressor must run a minimum of three minutes during each run cycle.

D. Settings and Diagnostics  
Various settings and diagnostic information can be controlled via the display panel. The  
display panel is located behind the front panel. To open the front panel, grip the outer  
edge of the panel near the top and bottom and pull it open. This permits access to the  
display panel and control box. The unit has a ꢀ minute startup delay. To bypass the  
startup delay, move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Then press and hold the up  
arrow key while moving the power switch to the "ON" position. Follow the instructions  
and warnings below and on the display panel for safe and efficient operation of the unit.  
1. Gaining Access to Settings and Diagnostics  
Generally, the only two settings that can change are the temperature display scale  
(°F or °C) and the temperature setpoint. The restriction to these two settings is achieved  
by the presence of a jumper between connector K151 pins 7 and 8 on the control board.  
To access other settings, the jumper must be removed. To see if the jumper is present  
press and hold both the  
button and the  
unmarked, blank button for 5 seconds. If  
"F5" appears in the display window, the jumper is present and must be removed in order  
to access other settings. If "F0" is displayed, no jumper is present and all settings are  
unrestricted and accessible. See the rest of this section for details about each setting.  
Note: If there is no input for 60 seconds, the display will revert to normal.

2. Temperature Display  
• Displays the cabinet temperature. The factory setting is °F. To change the display to the  
°C scale, see "a) Switching the Display Between Fahrenheit and Celsius (F5)" below.  
• The cabinet temperature is updated every 30 seconds.  
• During defrost, "dF" is displayed in place of the cabinet temperature.  
a) Switching the Display Between Fahrenheit and Celsius (F5)  
The factory setting is °F. To change the display to °C, follow the steps below.  
1) Press and hold both the  
button and the  
unmarked, blank button for 5 seconds.  
"F5" appears in the display window. (If "F0" is displayed, press the MANUAL

c) Cabinet Temperature Correction (calibration factor)  
In cases where there is a discrepancy between the actual cabinet center temperature  
and the displayed temperature for a particular model, a calibration factor is used to  
correct the displayed temperature.  
WARNING  
This unit has been factory tested with the default settings listed. Avoid using  
this function except to confirm that the setting is correct. If set incorrectly, the  
display could show an acceptable temperature even though the temperature  
is out of the proper range. This value should only be changed after consulting  
with the factory.  
To view the current value, follow the steps below.  
1) Turn the power on while pressing the  
up button. The current correction calibration  
factor will be shown. If "18" is displayed, the value is 1.8°F (1.0°C). See the table below  
for the default values.

4. Operating Modes  
Hoshizaki undercounters and worktops feature two operating modes, energy saving and  
continuous. Always use the default setting of your unit. To determine the default setting  
of your unit, see the chart below.

To determine the operating mode your unit is in, look at the unit's cabinet temperature  
display. If a period does not appear after the temperature, the unit is in continuous  
operating mode. If a period appears after the temperature, the unit is in energy saving  
operating mode.  
To switch between operating modes, press and hold the

a) Continuous  
The evaporator fan runs constantly (except in defrost). The frame heaters are on  
continuously.  
b) Energy Saving  
The evaporator fan runs when the compressor is on, but only intermittently when  
the compressor is off. The frame heaters cycle on and off with the evaporator fan  
for refrigerators auxiliary code Q6 and later, but are on continuously for refrigerators  
auxiliary code Q5 and earlier and all freezers. Intermittent fan operation saves energy by  
reducing heat leak, especially around the gasket, and by extending compressor off time.  
Fan on/off time is dependent on the setpoint temperature.

c) Automatic Corrections Made During Energy Saving Operating Mode  
(1) Temperature Display Correction  
When the unit is in energy saving mode and the evaporator fan shuts off, the  
temperature at the cabinet thermistor drops due to its close proximity to the evaporator.  
Therefore, the temperature at the cabinet thermistor does not accurately reflect the  
true cabinet temperature. To compensate for this, the cabinet temperature registered  
at compressor shutoff is displayed for 1ꢀ0 seconds after shutoff when in energy saving  
mode. After 1ꢀ0 seconds, the cabinet temperature plus 1.8°F (1°C) will be displayed.  
Once the compressor turns back on, the display will return to the normal display.  
(2) Temperature Differential Correction  
During energy saving mode, the cabinet temperature tends to be higher than during  
normal operation because the evaporator fan operates only intermittently when the  
compressor is off. The upper setpoint differential for turning the compressor on is  
automatically adjusted to compensate.  
E. Perimeter Frame Heater  
This unit is equipped with a perimeter frame heater. This prevents the formation of  
condensate on the front frame of the unit under high humidity conditions.  
Note: On refrigerators with auxiliary code Q6 and later, perimeter frame heater(s)  
operate together with the evaporator fan(s).

e. Clogged Filter Alarm (E7)  
The unit is equipped with a filter for protecting the condenser from dirt, oils, grease, etc.  
The filter promotes clean condenser surfaces and efficient operation and should be  
checked twice monthly and cleaned when necessary. The unit is also equipped with a  
sensor to determine if this filter is excessively dirty. If the unit detects that the condenser  
filter is excessively dirty by sensing a temperature at the condenser outlet of at least  
136.4°F (58°C) for over ꢀ minutes, "E7" will be displayed.  
Reset Options  
After cleaning the filter, the alarm will automatically reset once the temperature at the  
condenser outlet drops below 136.4°F (58°C).  
Possible Causes  
• The condenser air filter is dirty.  
• The condenser fan motor is locked or otherwise not functioning.  
IMPORTANT  
If this alarm occurs frequently, the compressor discharge temperature is  
consistently too high.  
Note:  
• If the unit is turned off and then back on while the alarm code is displayed, the  
alarm may be reset even if the filter is not yet clean. However, the alarm will recur  
once the compressor discharge temperature reaches 136.4°F (58°C).

To check a thermistor's resistance, follow the steps below.  
1) Disconnect the connector for the thermistor in question under the control box and  
behind the wire guard.  
ꢀ) Remove the thermistor. See "IV.F. Removal and Replacement of Thermistors."  
3) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass or cup containing ice and water for ꢀ  
or 3 minutes.  
4) Check for a resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is from 5 to 6.5kΩ  
for the cabinet and defrost thermistors and 145 to 175kΩ for the clogged filter sensor.  
Replace the thermistor if it exceeds the normal reading.

IV. Removal and Replacement of Components  
IMPORTANT  
1. Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place  
after the equipment is serviced.  
ꢀ. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in all units can absorb moisture quickly.  
Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when  
replacing or servicing parts.  
3. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is  
opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement  
has been made.  
4. Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or  
servicing parts.  
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines  
WARNING  
Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace  
of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise  
the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A or R-134a  
as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.  
1. Refrigerant Recovery  
The undercounter unit is provided with a refrigerant access valve. Using proper  
refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant from the access valve and store it in an  
approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.  
2. Brazing  
WARNING  
1. R-404A and R-134a are not flammable at atmospheric pressure and  
temperatures up to 176°F (80°C).  
ꢀ. R-404A and R-134a themselves are not explosive or poisonous. However,  
when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), these refrigerants can  
be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which  
are hazardous.  
3. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not  
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.  
4. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.  
5. Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a  
trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and  
then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A  
or R-134a as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.  
46

1) Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not  
replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Install the  
new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant flow.  
ꢀ) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG  
Note: Because the pipes in the evaporator case are specially coated to resist corrosion,  
it is important to make connections outside the evaporator case when possible. If  
it is necessary to braze inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove the  
coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.  
3) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of  
refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the  
pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A or R-134a as a mixture  
with pressurized air for leak testing.  
3. Evacuation and Recharge  
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system using the low-side access valve.  
IMPORTANT  
The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for current  
refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for  
evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for POE oils.  
ꢀ) Turn on the vacuum pump. Open the low-side service manifold valve. Never allow the  
oil in the vacuum pump to flow backwards.  
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a ꢀ9.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends  
on pump capacity.  
4) Close the low-side service manifold valve.  
5) Turn off the vacuum pump. Disconnect the vacuum pump hose and attach it to a  
refrigerant service cylinder. Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air  
from the hose. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. Hoshizaki  
recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard  
No. 700 (latest edition) be used.  
6) A liquid charge is required for charging an R-404A system and optional for charging an  
R-134a system. Invert the service cylinder and place it on scales. Open the low-side  
service manifold valve.  
IMPORTANT  
In order to prevent compressor damage, use caution in charging large  
quantities of liquid into the low side.  
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.  
8) Close the refrigerant service cylinder access valve and disconnect the hose. Close the  
service manifold valve and disconnect the low-side hose.  
9) Cap the access valve to prevent a possible leak.

C. Removal and Replacement of Compressor  
IMPORTANT  
Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.  
Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been  
made.  
Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install a new  
start capacitor, overload and start relay. Due to the ability of the POE oil in the  
compressor to absorb moisture quickly, the compressor must not be opened  
more than 15 minutes for replacement or service. Do not mix lubricants of  
different compressors even if both are charged with the same type of refrigerant,  
except when they use the same lubricant.

stainless steel surfaces.  
ꢀ. Use clean cloth and hands for cleaning.  
3. Before cleaning the cabinet interior, move the stored foods into another  
clean refrigerator/freezer.  
A. Cleaning  
1. Stainless Steel Exterior  
Wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a  
neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.  
2. Stainless Steel Interior  
Spills should be wiped up promptly to avoid unpleasant odors. The cabinet interior  
should be cleaned periodically with a mild soap or detergent.  
3. Gaskets  
Gaskets should be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt and  
grease.  
4. Condenser  
Check the condenser once a year and use a brush or vacuum cleaner to clean the unit  
as required.

5. Air Filter  
As the air filter becomes clogged with dirt or dust, the unit’s performance will be reduced.  
Do not operate the unit with the air filter removed. This will accelerate clogging of the  
condenser and result in failure. Check the filter at least twice each month. If it is dirty,  
use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter. To avoid damaging the air filter,  
do not use water hotter than 104°F (40°C). The filter is located behind the front panel.  
This filter can be removed by opening the front panel and lifting the filter away from the  
condenser. Reinstall the filter after cleaning.  
6. Shelves  
Remove and clean regularly.  
7. Drawers  
On units with drawers, the drawers can be removed for cleaning either individually or as  
an entire assembly.  
• To remove an individual drawer, first remove all food product from the drawer. Pull the  
drawer out to its fully extended position and lift up on the handle to disengage the drawer.  
Before removing the drawer, carefully support the rear and front of the drawer and then  
slowly remove it from the cabinet.  
• To remove the drawer frame assembly, first remove the drawers and then remove the  
fasteners in the thermal break and in the rear of the cabinet. Carefully slide the frame  
out of the cabinet, making sure not to damage the thermal break. Reinstall in the reverse  
order, making sure not to overtighten the screws in the thermal break.  
• To remove the drawer slide (center slide containing rollers) for cleaning, rotate the top  
of the slide away from the frame while the slide is completely inside the cabinet. Drawer  
slides do not require lubrication, but slides should be kept clean and free of food.  
Note: Drawer slides are dishwasher safe.  
B. Maintenance  
1. Air Filter  
The air filter promotes clean condenser surfaces and efficient unit operation by removing  
dirt and grease from circulating air. The filter should be checked monthly and cleaned  
when necessary—as described in "A.5. Air Filter".  
All other maintenance or service on this unit should be performed in accordance with the  
Hoshizaki Service Manual by a qualified service technician.
