Problem or Symptom Possible Cause Probable Correction
Low capacity Dirty condenser Clean condenser
Air temperature intake to condenser
very high Re-orient condenser to avoid hot air
intake
Water temperature intake to ice making
section very high Check for hot water supply to ice
machine due to mal-functioning or
non-existent hot water check valve at
dishwashing sink
False bin full - bin full light is ON and the
bin is not full If using optional thermostat, unplug from
terminal 7 and check controller. Bin full
light must go out within 4 minutes or ice
sensors need checking.
Check ice sensors for proper position
Check ice sensors for scale build up
Storage bin or dispenser not holding ice
properly Check drains for water flow from ice
machine (separate to correct) or
restriction
High volume of drinks dispensed, cold
plate melting ice Suggest pre-cooler for water supply to
cold plate
Vapor inlet valve leaks through slightly
during the freeze cycle Check valve body for similar
temperatures on inlet and outlet, the
outlet should be colder and frost
develops on the tubes to the
evaporators
Cascading shield missing/out of position
and water is cascading out of the
reservoir Install or re-secure cascading shield.
Check water distributors for proper
attachment.
Exceeding maximum freeze time,
compressor unit trips on high discharge
temp Check condenser bypass valve
Poor ice formation - very cloudy
and misshapen Dirty water system Clean the water distributors and the tops
of the evaporators to remove built up
mineral scale
Low refrigerant charge. Add several pounds of refrigerant to
check. If low on charge, locate leak.
Recover refrigerant, repair leak, replace
drier, evacuate to 300 microns and
weigh in the nameplate charge.
Whistling noise at CP unit during
harvest By pass and liquid inlet valve coils not
getting power Check harness
