Component Description and Function
Reservoir: Contains the water for ice making.
Water Inlet Valve: Opens to allow water into the
reservoir. Located on the back panel.
Water Level Sensor: Controls the size of the ice
cube by measuring how much water is used in a
cycle. It consists of a float, stem and electric eye.
The stem will move slightly when the pump is on,
this is normal. As the machine makes ice the
reservoir water level will fall and the visible portion
of the stem will slide down thru the slot in the
sensor body.
Evaporators/Freezing Compartment: Location of
the evaporators. Ice forms on the evaporators and
is released when warmed up during the harvest
cycle. The freezing compartment is fully insulated
for maximum efficiency.
Cube Deflector: The slots in the inclined deflector
allows the water falling from the evaporators back
into the reservoir, but when ice falls during harvest,
the ice slides off the deflector into the bin.
Refrigeration Service Access Valves: Only to be
used by a certified technician. Allows access to the
refrigeration system for diagnostic information.
Water Pump: Forces the water from the reservoir
to the top of the evaporators. The motor is
separated from the reservoir water to minimize
contact with the water.
Purge Valve: Opens during the early part of the
harvest cycle to drain the reservoir.
Ice Sensor: A photo-electric eye set, located at
the front and back of the cube port.
