on inadvertently.  
• Make sure the icemaker power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging  
in or unplugging the icemaker to reduce the risk of electric shock.  
• Do not make any alterations to the icemaker or condensing unit. Alterations  
could result in electric shock, injury, re, or damage to the units.  
For FS  
• The icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See  
the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use a properly sized  
breaker or fuse can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or damage to  
existing wiring. This could lead to heat generation or fire.  
THIS UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED. This unit is equipped with a 3-prong  
grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. It must be  
plugged into a properly grounded, independent wall outlet. If the outlet is a  
2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a qualified electrician  
replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not  
remove the ground prong from the power cord and do not use an adapter plug.

B. Sequence of Operation  
The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. This unit utilizes a control board to  
switch the icemaker components on and off as needed. When power is supplied, the  
power switch is in the "ON" position, and the control switch is in the "ICE" position,  
control board "POWER OK" LED and infrared sensor green LED come on. The "POWER  
OK" LED remains on constantly. If the infrared sensor yellow LED is on or flashing, move  
ice away from the infrared sensor lens.  
This system utilizes a pump-down solenoid valve in the icemaker and a control  
low-pressure switch in the condensing unit to control the operation of the Comp and  
FMR. This eliminates the need for an electrical connection between the 2 units. When  
calling for ice, the control board (X1 on control board) energizes the pump-down  
solenoid. The low-side refrigerant pressure rises to 29 PSIG, the control low-pressure  
switch (located in the condensing unit) closes, energizing the Comp and FMR. When the  
ice level satisfies the infrared sensor bin control (bin full), the unit goes into the shutdown  
cycle. The control board de-energizes the pump-down solenoid valve (X1 on CB). The  
low-side refrigerant pressure drops (unit pumping down). When the low-side pressure  
drops to 9 PSIG, the control low-pressure switch opens, de-energizing Comp and FMR.  
Control Low-Pressure Switch Settings: Cut-Out: 9 PSIG. Differential: 20 PSIG.  
Cut-In: 29 PSIG.  
1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown  
a) Fill Cycle  
"WTRIN" LED is on. WV energizes and fill cycle begins. 90-second low water safety  
timer starts. When UF/S closes, WV de-energizes, and 90-second low water safety timer  
resets. 30-second GM delay timer starts. If 90-second low water safety timer terminates  
before UF/S closes, WV remains energized, and a 1-beep alarm sounds.  
b) Ice Purge Cycle  
"GM" LED is on. 30-second GM delay timer terminates. GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR,  
and EH energize. 5-minute ice purge timer starts: GM runs for 5 minutes to clear any  
ice from the evaporator. To bypass, press the "SERVICE" button on CB after GM starts.  
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken not to touch live terminals.  
Note: UF/S must be closed before GMR will energize.  
c) Freeze Cycle  
"COMP" and "GM" LEDs are on. 5-minute ice purge timer terminates. GMR (X2 on  
CB), GM, GMPR, and EH continue. CR (X1 on CB) and PDS energize. When CLPS (in  
SRC) closes, MC energizes, allowing Comp and FMR to energize. CCH de-energizes.  
As water in the evaporator cools, ice starts forming within 4 to 6 minutes. This time frame  
depends on the inlet water and ambient temperature conditions. UF/S and LF/S operate  
WV as needed to continue the ice making process. This continues until IS activates  
allowing CB to de-energize X1 on CB and PDS. The unit goes into pump-down, CLPS  
opens, MC de-energizes, de-energizing Comp and FMR. CCH energizes.

d) Drain Cycle  
(1) 1-in-1 Drain Cycle: DV energizes for 2 seconds once every hour when the  
1-in-1 drain cycle is activated (S1 dip switch 4 in the off position (factory default  
position)). 1-hour drain cycle timer terminates, 2-second DT starts. DV energizes for  
2 seconds. 2-second DT terminates, 1-hour DT resets. All components and icemaking  
continue. This setting is recommended for optimum icemaker performance. The  
1-in-1 drain cycle allows any sediment to drain from the evaporator without interrupting  
the icemaking process.  
(2) 1-in-12 Drain Cycle (optional): DV energizes for ten minutes once every  
12 hours when the 1-in-12 drain cycle is activated (S1 dip switch 4 in the "ON"  
position (optional)). 12-hour drain cycle timer terminates, CR (X1 on CB) and PDS  
de-energize, GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR, and EH continue. Unit is in pump-down  
mode. Once the low-side pressure drops to 9 PSIG, CLPS opens, de-energizing MC,  
Comp, and FMR. 5-minute ice purge timer begins. When the 5-minute ice purge timer  
terminates, GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR, and EH de-energize. 10-minute DT begins,  
DV energizes. After 10-minute DT terminates, 12 hour drain cycle timer starts.  
(3) Manual Drain: Manual drain is used when servicing evaporator components and  
cleaning and sanitizing the unit. When the unit is making ice and the control switch is  
moved to the "DRAIN" position, there is a 3-second delay, then CR (X1 on CB) and  
PDS de-energize. Unit is in pump-down mode. Once the low-side pressure drops to  
9 PSIG, CLPS opens, de-energizing MC, Comp, and FMR. 5-minute ice purge timer  
begins. When the 5-minute ice purge timer terminates, GMR (X2 on CB), GM, and  
GMPR de-energize. DV energizes to drain the evaporator and reservoir. To avoid the  
5-minute shutdown delay, turn off the icemaker power supply, then move the control  
switch to the "DRAIN" position. DV de-energizes when the control switch is moved to  
the "ICE" position.

e) Shutdown Cycle  
(1) Infrared Sensor: When power is supplied to the icemaker, the green LED on IS  
turns on. The green LED remains on constantly. As ice fills the storage bin to the  
level of activating IS, IS yellow LED turns on (flashing or steady). The yellow LED  
flashes when ice is at the outer limit of its range and turns steady as ice nears. After  
the yellow LED turns on (flashing or steady), IS shutdown delay timer (S1 dip switch  
1, 2, 3) begins. For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay  
is recommended. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown  
delay setting is acceptable. See "II.C.3.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip  
switch 1, 2, 3)." Once IS shutdown delay timer terminates, CR (X1 on CB) and PDS  
de-energize and the 5-minute ice purge timer begins. Unit is in pump-down mode.  
Once the low-side pressure drops to 9 PSIG, CLPS opens, de-energizing MC, Comp,  
and FMR. When the 5-minute ice purge timer terminates, GMR (X2 on CB), GM, and  
GMPR de-energize.  
Note: If IS fails to shut down the icemaker, MBC opens, CB shuts down the icemaker,  
and a 9-beep alarm sounds.  
(2) Mechanical Backup Bin Control: CB shuts down the entire unit within 10 seconds  
when MBC opens (actuator paddle engaged), and sounds a 9-beep alarm.

Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay  
b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, 2, 3)  
Infrared sensor shutdown delay is the delay between the infrared sensor detecting ice  
(yellow LED flashing or steady) and the start of the shutdown sequence. For dispenser  
unit applications, the ice level at shutoff may need to be adjusted depending on the  
dispenser agitation or dispense method. Increasing the shutdown delay setting allows for  
a higher level of ice in the bin before the icemaker shuts down. For a typical dispenser  
unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay is recommended. When used with a  
standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable.  
WARNING  
Increasing the shutdown delay allows a higher level of ice in the dispensing  
unit/storage bin before shutdown. This could lead to icemaker movement or ice  
overflow.

used instead of the infrared sensor by moving S1 dip switch 7 to the off position. In the  
factory default position (S1 dip switch 7 in the on position), the gear motor delay after the  
upper float switch closes is 30 seconds. When the mechanical bin control is used (S1  
dip switch 7 in the off position), the gear motor delay after the upper float switch closes is  
5 seconds. WARNING! Do not place S1 dip switch 7 in the off position on dispenser  
unit applications.

IV. Service Diagnosis  
WARNING  
1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service  
personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire.  
2. Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical  
practices.  
3. Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.  
4. CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews  
are securely in place after the unit is serviced. Make sure that none have  
fallen into the dispenser unit/storage bin.  
5. Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/storage bin are  
clean after the unit is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning  
and Maintenance."  
A. Ice Production Check  
To check production, prepare a bucket or pan to catch the ice and a set of scales to  
weigh the ice. After the icemaker has operated for 10 to 20 minutes, catch the ice  
production for 10 minutes. Weigh the ice to establish the batch weight. Multiply the batch  
weight by 144 for the total production in 24 hours.  
B. Diagnostic Procedure  
This diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical  
system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, adequate  
water supply (minimum of 10 PSIG, maximum of 113 PSIG) and proper voltage per unit  
nameplate. Check that the 24VAC 1A fuse and the 115VAC 3A GM fuse are good. When  
checking for high-voltage (115VAC), always choose a white (W) neutral wire to establish  
a good neutral connection. When checking for low-voltage (secondary) (24VAC), always  
choose a light blue (LBU) neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection. If the  
icemaker is in alarm, see "II.C.2. LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties."  
Note: EH energizes when "GM" LED turns on. CB X1 Comp relay energizes PDS.  
Pressure rises in the refrigeration system and closes CLPS. MC is energized  
when CLPS closes, energizing Comp and FMR.  
1) Remove the front panel, then move the power switch to the "OFF" position.  
2) Unplug the icemaker from the electrical outlet.  
3) Remove the control box cover and access CB.  
4) Check the S1 dip switch settings, see "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings" to assure  
that they are in the correct positions. For proper operation of IS, confirm that S1 dip  
switch 7 is in the "ON" position.  
5) Startup – "POWER OK" LED is on. Plug the icemaker into the electrical outlet, then  
move the power switch to the "ON" position. Move the control switch to the "ICE"  
position. CB "POWER OK" LED and IS green LED should be on. Diagnosis "POWER  
OK" LED: CB POWER OK" LED is off. Check for proper supply voltage (115VAC) input  
to the control transformer. If 115VAC is not present, check the power switch and breaker.  
Next, check for proper 24VAC outpout voltage from the control transformer. Check CB  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
K8 connector pin #1 white/red (W/R) to pin #2 light blue (LBU). If 24VAC is not present  
and 1A 24VAC fuse is good, replace the control transformer. If 24VAC is present and  
"POWER OK" LED is off, CB is bad and must be replaced.  
IS Diagnosis: Check that IS green LED is on. If "POWER OK" LED is on and IS green  
LED is off, check 20VDC at CB K6 connector brown (BR) wire to dark blue (DBU) wire.  
If 20VDC is not present, confirm S1 dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position. If S1 dip switch  
7 is in the "ON" position and 20VDC is not present, CB is bad and must be replaced. If  
IS yellow LED is on or flashing, move ice away from IS lens. If no ice is present, clean  
the lens with a warm, clean damp cloth. If yellow LED is still on or flashing after cleaning  
the lens, replace IS. MBC Diagnosis: Move S1 dip switch 7 to the "OFF" position.  
Check that the actuator paddle is properly positioned. Check for continuity across  
MBC proximity switch. When MBC proximity switch is closed 0VDC is read across  
CB K8 connector pin #3 gray (GY)and #4 gray (GY). 5VDC is present between CB  
K8 connector pin #3 gray (GY) or #4 gray (GY) to CB white K5 connector pin closest to  
red K4 connector (5VDC gnd). If 5VDC is not present, CB is bad and must be replaced.  
CB monitors the following switches with 5VDC: Control Switch, Gear Motor Protect  
Relay (relay terminals 3 & 5), Float Switch, and Mechanical Bin Control. When 5VDC is  
present across any of these switches, the switch is open.  
6) Fill Cycle – "WTRIN" LED is on. WV energizes. The 90-second low water safety timer  
begins. LF/S closes. Nothing occurs at this time. The reservoir continues to fill until  
UF/S closes. The closing of the UF/S de-energizes WV, terminates the 90-second low  
water safety timer, and starts the 30-minute freeze timer. Diagnosis: Check that WV  
energizes and water fills the reservoir. If not, check for water supply line shut-off valve  
closed, clogged water filters, and clogged WV screen. Next, check 24VAC to WV from  
CB K2 connector pin #8 white/brown (W/BR) wire to a light blue (LBU) neutral wire.  
Check for continuity through WV solenoid. If open, replace WV. If WV is energized and  
refill exceeds 90-second low water safety timer (fill timer) with no water in the reservoir,  
check for DV leaking. If reservoir is full and overflowing check for open UF/S. Check that  
WV shuts off when UF/S closes. If not, check UF/S continuity, red (R) wire to black (BK)  
wire. Clean or replace if necessary. See "IV.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning."  
Note: Low Water Safety–If UF/S remains open 90 seconds after WV energizes, a 1-beep  
alarm sounds. This alarm resets automatically once UF/S closes.  
7) Ice Purge Cycle "GM" LED is on. WV de-energizes and "WTRIN" LED turns off.  
30-second GM delay timer and 30-minute freeze timer start. The 30-second GM delay  
timer terminates, GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR, and EH energize. 5-minute ice purge  
timer starts. Diagnosis: If "GM" LED is off, check that WV de-energizes and UF/S  
closes. If "GM" LED is on and GM is off, confirm 115VAC at CB K1 connector pin #3  
brown (BR) to white (W) neutral. Check for 115VAC at CB K1 connector pin #2 white/  
black (W/BK) to a white (W) neutral. If no voltage is present, CB is bad and must be  
replaced. If 115VAC is present, check GM fuse, GM internal protector, GM windings and  
capacitor, and GM coupling between auger and GM.  
27  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
8) Freeze Cycle "GM" and "COMP" LEDs are on. "GM" LED, GMR (X2 on CB),  
GM, GMPR, and EH continue. "COMP" LED turns on and PDS energizes. Once the  
refrigeration circuit low-side pressure rises to 29 PSIG, CLPS closes, energizing MC,  
which energizes Comp and FMR. Ice production begins 4 to 6 minutes after Comp and  
FMR energize depending on ambient and water conditions.  
FS Diagnosis: Check that "COMP" LED is on and that PDS energizes. If "COMP" LED  
is off, check DC voltage across GMPR terminals 3 and 5 white/orange (W/O) wires.  
If 5VDC is present, GMPR contacts are open. Check GMPR solenoid voltage and  
solenoid continuity. Replace GMPR if necessary. If "COMP" LED remains off, CB is bad  
and must be replaced. If "COMP" LED is on and PDS is not energized, confirm 115VAC  
at CB X1 relay brown (BR) to white (W) neutral and CB X1 relay dark blue (DBU) to  
white (W) neutral. If 115VAC is present on CB X1 brown (BR) and not on CB X1 dark  
blue (DBU) CB is bad and must be replaced. Next, check for 115VAC from PDS dark  
blue (DBU) to white (W) neutral. If 115VAC is present and PDS is closed, check for  
continuity through PDS solenoid. If open or if PDS is sticking closed, replace PDS.  
SRC Diagnosis: Confirm that CLPS closes. Once CLPS closes, MC energizes,  
energizing Comp and FMR. If not, check CLPS, SLPS (manual reset), and HPS  
(automatic reset).  
CLPS: When PDS is energized, CLPS closes when refrigeration circuit low-side  
pressure rises to 29 PSIG. If CLPS is open, check that refrigeration circuit low-side  
pressure has reached 29 PSIG. If refrigeration circuit low-side pressure is too low,  
confirm proper TXV operation, check for refrigerant restrictions (drier, PDS), and correct  
refrigerant charge. Recover, evacuate, and recharge if necessary.  
SLPS: If SLPS is open, manually reset SLPS. Confirm proper TXV operation, check for  
refrigerant restriction (drier, PDS), and correct refrigerant charge. Recover, evacuate,  
and recharge if necessary.  
HPS: HPS automatically resets when refrigeration circuit high-side pressure is within an  
acceptable range. If HPS does not reset (open), allow pressures to equalize and HPS  
to reset. If refrigeration circuit high-side pressure does not drop, recover, evacuate, and  
recharge if necessary. Before restarting unit, check for dirty or clogged condenser. Once  
unit is restarted, check for proper FMR operation and fan blade for binding. Check for  
refrigeration circuit refrigerant restriction (receiver, service valves, PDS, and drier). Also  
check for proper HM operation. If refrigerant pressures have returned to an acceptable  
range and HPS does not close, replace HPS.  
MC: If MC energizes and Comp does not energize, check 208-230VAC at MC T1 black  
(BK) to MC T2 red (R). If 208-230VAC is not present, check incoming power supply and  
MC contact continuity. If 208-230VAC is present and Comp does not start, check Comp  
start relay, start capacitor, run capacitor, and Comp motor windings. If FMR does not  
energize, check 115VAC at MC T3 dark blue (DBU) to white (W) neutral. If 115VAC is  
present and FM does not energize, check FM capacitor and motor windings.

9) Refill Cycle/Low Water Safety Cycle "GM", "COMP", and "WTRIN" LEDs are on.  
As ice is produced, the water level in the reservoir drops. UF/S opens. Nothing happens  
at this time. When LF/S opens, WV energizes, 90-second low water safety timer (fill  
timer) starts. GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR, EH, PDS, MC, Comp, and FMR continue.  
When LF/S closes, nothing happens at this time. When UF/S closes, WV de-energizes,  
90-second low water safety timer (fill timer) terminates, and 30-minute freeze timer  
starts.  
If UF/S remains open 90 seconds after WV energizes (LF/S opens) (fill timer  
exceeded), a 90-second shutdown cycle starts. CB X1 relay de-energizes, de-  
energizing PDS. Refrigeration circuit low-side pressure drops to 9 PSIG, opening  
CLPS. CLPS opens de-energizing MC, Comp, and FMR. CB signals a 1-beep alarm  
every 5 seconds. 90-second purge timer starts. GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR, and EH  
continue. 90-second purge timer terminates, GMR (X2 on CB), GM, GMPR, and EH  
de-energizes. WV and 1-beep alarm continue until UF/S closes.  
Diagnosis – Check that "WTRIN" LED is on. If not, check that LF/S is open. See "IV.E.  
Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If LF/S is open and "WTRIN" LED is off, CB is bad  
and must be replaced. If "WTRIN" LED is on, check that the reservoir fills. If not, check  
for water supply line shut-off valve closed, clogged water filters, and clogged WV screen.  
Next, check 24VAC to WV from CB K2 connector pin #8 white/brown (W/BR) wire to a  
light blue (LBU) neutral wire. Check for continuity through WV solenoid. If open, replace  
WV. If WV is energized and refill exceeds 90-second low water safety timer (fill timer)  
with no water in the reservoir, check for DV leaking. If reservoir is full and overflowing  
check that UF/S closes. If not, check UF/S continuity, red (R) wire to black (BK) wire.  
Clean or replace if necessary. See "IV.E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning."  
Note: Each time UF/S closes, 30-minute freeze timer starts. The 30-minute freeze timer  
resets when UF/S closes again. If UF/S does not close again within 30 minutes,  
CB shuts down the unit and sounds a 5-beep alarm every 5 seconds. See  
"II.C.2. LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties."

C. Control Board Check  
Before replacing a control board that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect  
is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you  
verify your diagnosis. Before proceeding, check for proper voltage per unit nameplate.  
Check that the 24VAC 1A fuse and the 115VAC 3A GM fuse are good. When checking  
for high-voltage (115VAC), always choose a white (W) neutral wire to establish a good  
neutral connection. When checking for low-voltage (secondary) (24VAC), always choose  
a light blue (LBU) neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection. If the icemaker is in  
alarm, see "II.C.2. LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties."  
Note: EH energizes when "GM" LED turns on. CB X1 Comp relay energizes PDS.  
Refrigeration circuit low-side pressure rises to 29 PSIG, closing the CLPS  
contacts. MC is energized when CLPS closes, energizing Comp and FMR.  
1) Check the S1 dip switch settings to assure that they are in the factory default position.  
For factory default settings, see "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings." S1 dip switch  
7 determines bin control application:  
Bin Control Application:  
Infrared Sensor Bin Control with Mechanical Backup Bin Control: S1 dip switch  
7 in the "ON" position.  
Mechanical Bin Control (Standard Ice Storage Bin): S1 dip switch 7 in the "OFF"  
position.  
2) Startup – "POWER OK" LED on: Move the control switch to the "ICE" position,  
then move the power switch to the "ON" position. The "POWER OK" LED turns on.  
Diagnosis "POWER OK" LED: Check that the "POWER OK" LED is on. If not,  
check for proper supply voltage (115VAC) input to the CT (main breaker or fuse and  
power switch). Next, check for proper low-voltage (24VAC) output from CT and that  
the 1A fuse is good. Check for 24VAC from K8 connector pin #1 white/red (W/R) to  
K8 connector pin #2 light blue (LBU). If 24VAC is present and the "POWER OK" LED is  
off, CB is bad and must be replaced.

D. Bin Control Check  
1. Infrared Sensor Check  
IMPORTANT  
Make sure S1 dip switch 7 is in the "ON" position. This allows the control board  
to monitor the infrared sensor along with the mechanical backup bin control.  
1) Remove the front panel.  
2) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the unit from the electrical  
outlet.  
3) Remove the control box cover and access CB. Confirm that S1 dip switch 1, 2, 3 are in  
the proper position for your application. See "II.C.3.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay  
(S1 dip switch 1, 2, 3)."  
4) Confirm that IS is connected to the K6 connector on CB. Wipe down the IS lens with  
a clean, warm, damp cloth. If the bottom of the icemaker is not accessible in your  
application, remove the thumbscrew securing the IS housing, then remove the housing  
from the base. See Fig. 3.  
5) Make sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position, then plug the icemaker into the  
electrical outlet.  
6) Move the power switch to the "ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.  
Check that the IS green LED is on. The green LED confirms 20VDC power from CB to  
IS and remains on constantly. Diagnosis: If the green LED is not on, confirm 20VDC at  
K6 connector dark blue (DBU) to brown (BR). If 20VDC is present and the green LED is  
off, IS is bad and must be replaced. If not, see step "3) IS Power Supply," under "IV.C.  
Control Board Check."  
7) Make sure the "GM" LED on CB is on. There is a delay of at least 30 seconds before the  
"GM" LED turns on after power-up. After the "GM" LED turns on, press the "SERVICE"  
button on CB to bypass the 5-minute ice purge cycle. WARNING! Risk of electric  
shock. Care should be taken not to touch live terminals.  
8) "GM" and "COMP" LEDs are on. Use an object to cover IS lens. The yellow LED on IS  
turns on (flashing or steady). The yellow LED flashes when ice is at the outer limit of its  
range and turns steady as ice nears. After the yellow LED turns on (flashing or steady),  
IS shutdown delay timer starts . See "II.C.3.b)Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip  
switch 1, 2, 3)." Comp and FMR should de-energize immediately after the shutdown  
delay timer terminates. Five minutes later, GM should de-energize. Diagnosis: If the  
yellow LED is not on after covering the lens, IS is bad and must be replaced. If the unit  
remains on after IS shutdown delay timer terminates and the 5-minute ice purge timer  
terminates, CB is bad and must be replaced. If IS fails to shut down the icemaker and  
the level of ice activates MBC, the icemaker shuts down within 10 seconds of MBC  
opening and a 9-beep alarm sounds. To reset, move the power switch to the "OFF"  
position, and then back to the "ON" position.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components  
WARNING  
1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service  
personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire.  
2. Move the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the icemaker from  
the electrical outlet and turn off the power supply to the condensing unit  
before servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power from being turned back  
on inadvertently.  
3. CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews  
are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. Make sure that none  
have fallen into the dispenser unit/storage bin.  
4. Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/storage are  
clean after the unit is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning  
and Maintenance."  
5. When replacing evaporator assembly and water circuit components, make  
sure there are no water leaks after the repair is complete.  
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines  
WARNING  
1. Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by  
properly trained and EPA-certified service personnel.  
2. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not  
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.  
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  
as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.  
CAUTION  
1. Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or  
servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb  
moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering  
the system when replacing or servicing parts.  
2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is  
opened.  
3. 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.  
4. When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from  
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).  
41

1. Refrigerant Recovery  
The icemaker unit is provided with refrigerant service valves. Using proper refrigerant  
practices, recover the refrigerant from the service valves and store it in an approved  
container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.  
2. Brazing  
WARNING  
1. R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up  
to 176°F (80°C).  
2. R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to  
high temperatures (open flames), R-404A can be decomposed to form  
hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.  
3. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.  
4. 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  
as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.  
1) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.  
CAUTION  
1. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is  
opened.  
2. 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.  
3. When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from  
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).  
2) 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 as a mixture with  
pressurized air for leak testing.  
3. Evacuation and Recharge (R-404A)  
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect charging hoses to both high  
and low-side service valves.  
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.  
2) Turn on the vacuum pump. Open the gauge manifold valves, then open the high and  
low-side service valves. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to flow backwards.  
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 29.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends  
on pump capacity.

4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.  
5) Disconnect the gauge manifold hose from the vacuum pump and attach it to a  
refrigerant service cylinder. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from  
the hose. See the rating label inside the icemaker for the required refrigerant charge.  
Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI  
Standard 700 (latest edition) be used.  
6) A liquid charge is required for charging an R-404A system (to prevent fractionation).  
Place the service cylinder on the scales: if the service cylinder is not equipped with  
a dip tube, invert the service cylinder, then place it on the scales. Open the high-side  
valve on the gauge manifold.  
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.  
8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side.  
CAUTION! To prevent compressor damage, use a throttling valve or liquid  
dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through the low-side  
service valve with the unit running.  
9) Close the high and low-side service valves. Close the high and low-side gauge manifold  
valves, then disconnect the gauge manifold hoses.  
10) Cap the service valves to prevent a possible leak.

C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage  
CAUTION  
When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing  
temperatures, follow the instructions below to prevent damage.  
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is  
sufficient to only move the power switch to the "OFF" position. When storing the icemaker  
for extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.  
1. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line:  
1) Remove the front panel.  
2) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position.  
3) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve, then open the icemaker water  
supply line drain valve.  
4) Allow the line to drain by gravity.  
5) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the icemaker water supply line  
drain valve.  
6) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position, then move the power switch to the "ON"  
position.  
7) Blow the icemaker water line out using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply.  
8) Close the icemaker water supply line drain valve.  
2. Drain the evaporator:  
1) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position. Move the control switch to the "DRAIN"  
position, then move the power switch back to the "ON" position. Replace the front panel  
in its correct position.

4) Remove the evaporator drain line hose from the evaporator and attach a compressed  
air or carbon dioxide supply to the hose.  
5) Move the power switch to the "ON" position. Blow out the evaporator drain line using the  
compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.  
6) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then reconnect the evaporator drain line  
hose.
