Check the following before calling a service man:
A. Unit does not run:
1. Make sure service switch is posltioned to “normal
on” or “timed on”.
2. If service switch is in “timed on” position then
control timer must be in the timed setting which
allows the machine to operate.
3. Check fuses in power supply to ice maker head
and remote refrigeration unit.
NOTE: If the light on control panel is lit, it indicates power
supply is okay to ice making section. Separate fuses must
be checked for power to remote refrigeration section. Fuses
inside control panel are for low voltage circuits only.
B. Unit runs but produces no ice:
I, 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. Push service switch to “off” position for one
minute and then reset to “normal on” position.
3. Check fuses in electrical control panel. These fuses
control low voltage current to cutter grids, relays
and ice thickness control.
C. Unit runs but produces very little ice:
1. Operation of remote condensing unit in extremely
high temperatures (normal for ice production to
be low).
2. Lint or dirt blocking proper air flow through
finned condenser of remote condensing unit
(check and clean).
3. Check for objects around remote condensing unit
which would obstruct normal air flow.
D. Light on control panel blinks or flashes:
1. Whenever the light is blinking or flashing, 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.
2. Call a qualified serviceman to check the machine if
the above suggestions do not remedy the problem.
