Problem
Unit does not operate.
Unit operates but does not produce any ice.
Possible Cause
The unit is unplugged.
Breaker is tripped or fuse is blown.
Ice machine selector switch is in the "OFF" position.
The unit has just been started and it has been less
than 6 hours.
Typical ice production cycle can take up to 1.5
hours. Initial startup cycles can be longer.
The selector switch is in the "OFF" or "CLEAN"
position.
No water in the reservoir.
Distributor tube is restricted.
Build up of deposits on evaporator plate.
Condenser fan air flow is restricted.
Room and/or water temperature is to o warm.
Leaking drain valve.
Inadequate drain system.
Grid cutter is unplugged.
Correction
Plug in the unit.
Reset breaker or replace fuse. Check to make sure there is not a short in
the electrical circuit.
Set the rocker switch on the grille of the ice machine to the "ON" posi-
tion.
Ice produced when the unit is initially started will melt off in the bin. Ice
will accumulate in the bin. In 6 hours there can be a few cubes in the
bin. This is normal operation.
Check the unit in 24 hours for ice accumulation in the bin.
Set the rocker switch on the grille of the ice machine to the "ON" posi-
tion.
Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed. Check the water line
to the unit to make sure it is on and that there are no restrictions or
kinks in the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted or
plugged.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit for
proper operation.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit for
proper operation.
Make certain the grille in the front of the unit is free and open for prop-
er air circulation. Check and clean the condenser coil by removing the
grille in the front of the unit. Clean the condenser with a vacuum and
brush attachment.
Move the unit to an area where ambient temperature is below 90 deg.
F. The unit should not be placed next to a heat source such as an oven.
Check for cold water connection.
See "CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE" section for cleaning the unit.
This will also dissolve and flush out foreign material in the drain valve
causing it to leak.
Restriction in drain lines will cause ice in the bin to melt. If using a gravi-
ty drain, make certain there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain
lines. If using a drain pump, check the inlet screen, discharge line, and
vent line for any build or restrictions.
Plug in the grid cutter so that ice slabs can be cut into cube.
