V. Replacement of Components
WARNING
• This icemaker should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualied service
personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or re.
• Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply
before servicing. Lockout/Tagout to prevent the power from being turned back on
inadvertently.
• CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are
securely in place after the icemaker is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen
into the dispenser unit/storage bin.
• Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and dispenser unit/storage bin are clean
after service. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning and Maintenance."
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
WARNING
• Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by
properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
• 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.
NOTICE
• Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• 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 applications can
absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from
entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
• 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
ow.
• 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).
1. Refrigerant Recovery
The condensing unit is provided with refrigerant shutoff valves and the icemaker is provided
with refrigerant service valves. Using proper refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant.
Recovery via the condensing unit's refrigerant shutoff valves is recommended. Store the
refrigerant in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
