Whirlpool che-5r Ice Maker User Manual


 
Check the following before calling a serviceman:
A. Unit does not run:
1. Make sure service switch is positioned to “on”.
2. Check fuses in power supply to ice maker head
and remote refrigeration unit.
NOTE: If green light on control panel is lit, it indicates
power supply is okay to ice making section. Separate
fuses must be checked for the power to remote
refrigeration section. Fuses inside control panel are for
low voltage circuits only.
B. Unit runs but produces no ice:
1. Check all mercury switches positioned over water
trough. Arms must be vertical. If switch arms are
not vertical, check for bind. Check position of
switch capsule in bracket against sketch on
support rail.
2. Turn service switch to “off” position for one
minute and then reset to “on” position.
C. Unit runs but produces very Irttle ice:
Operation of remote condensrng unit in extremely
high temperatures (normal for ice production to
be low).
Lint or dirt blocking proper air flow through
finned condenser of air cooled condensing unit
(check and clean),
Check for objects around condensing unit which
would obstruct normal air flow.
D. Red light on control panel lit:
I, Whenever the red light is lit, it is an indication of
an abnormally long harvest cycle. Long harvest
cycles are generally caused by ice slabs not
releasing properly and may indicate the machine
needs to be cleaned.
NOTE: The red indicator also lights up whenever the
service switch is in the “clean”position.
2. Call a qualified serviceman to check the machine if
the above suggestions do not remedy the problem.
