    B. Service Diagnosis WARNING • The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • Risk of electric shock. Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all loads Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.
  • Page 13 1. Operation Diagnosis 3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position. A 5-sec. delay occurs. CB red "POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED turn on. If yellow "BC OPEN" LED is on (indicating a full bin), check BC. Move ice away from BC actuator paddle.
  • Page 14 5a) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV and X11 relay continue. Comp, FMR, HGV, and X10 relay energize. CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ...
  • Page 15 5c) Initial Harvest Cycle Termination Diagnosis: When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2 and S5 dip switch 4). Check discharge line temperature.
  • Page 16 e) FM and LLV Diagnosis: If FM or LLV does not energize, check for 115VAC at CB K1 #3 (BK) to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace CB. If 115VAC is present: For FM, check capacitor, motor winding, and blade for binding. For LLV, check coil voltage and continuity.
  • Page 17 Pump-Out Diagnosis: In the freeze cycle before pump-out (see table above), after 5 min. of freeze disconnect CB black K5 connector (FS connector). Check that PM stops and re-starts. Next, check that PM rotation is correct (water flowing down the drain through CV). If PM does not stop and re-start, check that CB LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on.

  • Page 18: Control Board Check

    C. Control Board Check Before replacing CB that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on CB while CB is beeping.

    E. Float Switch Check and Cleaning FS is used to determine that there is sufficient water in the water tank after the 1-min. fill cycle and after each harvest cycle. FS is also used to determine that the appropriate volume of water has been converted into ice before switching out of the freeze cycle. No adjustment is required.

  • Page 22: Float Switch Cleaning

    Be careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it. 7) Wipe down FS housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Clean the inside of the rubber boot and hose with cleaning solution.

    NOTICE Dip switches are factory set. Failure to maintain factory settings may adversely affect performance and warranty coverage. For more information, contact your Hoshizaki Service Center. 1. Default Dip Switch Settings The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: S4 Dip Switch S4 Dip Switch No.

  • Page 33: Harvest Time (S4 Dip Switch 1 & 2)

    2. Harvest Time (S4 dip switch 1 & 2) The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C) at the evaporator outlet and the control board reads 3.9 kΩ from the thermistor. The harvest timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the drain provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning.
