Problem: Water Will Not Run Into The Sump Trough During The Freeze Cycle

ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch to OFF then back to ICE.
Important
This restart must be done prior to performing diagnostic procedures. This assures the ice machine is not in
a freeze cycle water inlet valve safety shut-off mode. You must complete the entire diagnostic procedure
with-in 6 minutes of starting.
Step 2 Wait until the freeze cycle starts (approximately 45 seconds, the freeze cycle starts when the
compressor energizes), and then refer to chart.
