Service Diagnosis: Diagnostic Light Analysis
Problem or Symptom | Possible Cause | Probable Correction | |
  | Bin is full  | Use some ice  | |
  | Bin thermostat is closed  | Check thermostat  | |
  | Power is off, check  | If all Lights are out, check power supply,  | |
  | Lights.  | restore power if off  | |
  | 
  | 
  | |
  | Transformer is open  | If all Lights are out and there is power, check  | |
Machine is off  | transformer output for 24 vac  | ||

  | 
  | 
  | |
  | Unit has been switched  | 
  | |
  | off or has finished a  | Push and release Freeze button  | |
  | Clean cycle, Off Light is  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | glowing  | 
  | |
  | 
  | 
  | |
  | Unit has Shut Down  | Check for Refrigeration or Water Error  | |
  | 
  | 
  | |
  | 
  | Check water Light, if the Light blinks 2 times  | |
  | Water supply inadequate  | and repeats, check the water inlet valve for  | |
  | 
  | proper water flow.**  | |
Unit is off on a Water  | Water pump malfunction  | Check that pump hose is attached and if  | |
pump is plugged in and working.  | |||
Error  | 
  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | Check float stem, reset machine. If it will not  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | Water level sensor may  | reset or gives another water error and  | |
  | have failed.  | everything else is OK, replace the water level  | |
  | 
  | sensor.  | |
  | 
  | 
  | |
  | Low discharge or long  | Check refrigeration Light. If the Light is  | |
  | glowing, there is a probable refrigeration  | ||
  | freeze cycle  | ||
  | problem - fan motor could have failed.  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | 
  | Check refrigeration Light. If the Light blinks  | |
  | 
  | once and repeats, look for a harvest problem.  | |
  | Harvest problem  | where some cubes were sensed.**  | |
  | Check refrigeration Light. If the Light blinks  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | 
  | two times and repeats, look for a harvest  | |
  | 
  | problem. - no cubes sensed**  | |
Unit is off on a  | 
  | 
  | |
  | Check refrigeration Light. If the Light blinks 3  | ||
Refrigeration Error  | 
  | ||
  | times and then repeats, check for a reason for  | ||
  | High Discharge Temp  | ||
  | high discharge temperatures - fan motor hot  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | 
  | ambient.  | |
  | 
  | 
  | |
  | Unit does not go into  | Push and release Off button. Push and  | |
  | release Freeze button. Check operation.  | ||
  | harvest - exceeds  | ||
  | Push cube size float down and check  | ||
  | maximum freeze time  | ||
  | operation.  | ||
  | 
  | ||
  | Exceeds maximum  | Check for cause of long harvest cycle**  | |

Unit runs and both  | Temperature sensors out  | Replace the temperature sensor set (water  | |
Diagnostic lites are ON  | of range  | and discharge).  | |
  | 
  | 
  | |
Same, only 1 light on  | Reservoir temp. wrong  | Check water temp. and sensor.  | |
