Control Box: Contains the electrical controls that operate the machine.
High Pressure Cut Out Switch: An auto-reset switch sensing the high side refrigeration pressure. It will
shut the machine off if the discharge pressure exceeds 450 psig.
Pump Down Control: A switch to control the compressor, depending upon low side pressure: closes at 30
PSIG and opens at 15 PSIG.
Evaporator: A vertical stainless steel tube, refrigerated and water filled. Utilizes a stainless steel auger.
Water Reservoir: Float operated, it maintains the water level in the evaporator at a constant level, and it
also contains the water level sensor.
Water Level Sensor: Senses if there is water in the reservoir to make ice out of. Will shut the ice machine
off if there is no water in the reservoir.
Ice Discharge Chute: Directs the ice produced by the evaporator into the storage bin.
Ice Level Sensor: An “electronic eye”, it senses the presence of ice in the bottom of the discharge chute.
Operates to turn on and off automatically as the level of ice in the bin changes.
Gear Motor: An oil filled, speed reduction gearbox, driving the auger.
Cleaning Drain Tube: When uncapped and lowered, drains the evaporator.
Compressor: The refrigerant vapor pump.
Expansion Valve: The refrigerant metering device.
