FAULT DIAGNOSIS

Check the status of the Service lamp on the Controller Board (LED-5) by removing the Control Box Cover.

Lamp ON – Water Plate closed

This tends to indicate the Back-up Timer has stopped machine operation during the freeze cycle. High ambient and water temperature are an obvious cause. But check out each component that could result in an extended freezing time (See guide below).

Lamp ON – Water Plate open

The Timer has stopped the machine because if an excessive defrost time. See the guide below to check out the probable cause.

Lamp flashing ON/OFF

If on the first cycle, check out the Cam operation and/or Toggle Switch. If the machine has been in service for some time, the Controller Board may be at fault.

REMEMBER: Hoshizaki controllers are very reliable. They also control every component’s Operation. So if a component malfunctions, the controller will respond.

Do not replace controllers in an attempt to shorten the diagnosis process and not before carefully checking the actual fault and possible cause.

When the icemaker stops, the Controller Board Interlock indicator shows possible faults.
