SERVICE DIAGNOSIS

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SUGGESTED CORRECTION

Unit will not run

Main switch in OFF position

Turn switch to ON position

Safety device intervention

Eliminate the stop motivation and

(thermostat - pressure switch)

push the reset button or replace.

Loose electrical connections

Check wiring

Inoperative bin thermostat

Replace thermostat

Compressor cycles

Low voltage

Check circuit for overloading

intermittently

Check voltage at the supply to
the building. If low, contact the
power company

Contactor with burnt contacts

Clean or replace

Non-condensable gas in system

Purge the system

Compressor starting device

Check for loose wires in starting

with loose wires

device

To high room temperature

Move the unit in a more
suitable place

Cubes too small

Freezing cycle too short

Review setting of DIP SWITCH
keys

Capillary tube partially restricted

Blow charge, add new
gas & drier, after evacuating
system with vacuum pump

Moisture in the system

Same as above

Shortage of water

See remedies for shortage of water

Shortage of refrigerant

Check for leaks & recharge

Inoperative evaporator thermostst

Replace thermostst

Cloudy cubes

Shortage of water

See remedies for shortage of water

Dirty water supply

Use water softner or water filter

Accumulated impurities cleaner

Use 

Cleaner 

Ice Machine

Water pump loosing disch. pressure

Check bearings. Replace.

Shortage of water

Water spilling out through curtain

Check or replace curtain

Water solenoid valve not opening

Replace valve

Water leak in sump area

Locate and repair

Water flow control plugged

Remove and clean
