3)Check the 115 volt input at the 10-pin connector. Check the brown wire at pin #10 to a white neutral wire for 115 volts. (Always choose a white neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection when checking voltages.) A jumper also feeds 115 volts into pin #7. If no voltage is present, check the 115 volt supply circuit.

4)The output test switch S3 provides a relay sequence test. With the control switch in the OFF position, place S3 ON and then move the control switch to the ICE position. The correct lighting sequence should be none, 2, 3, 4, 1, and 4, normal sequence every 5 seconds. Components (e.g., the compressor) will cycle during the test. Note that the order of the relays from the outer edge of the board is 1, 4, 3, 2.

Note: If the LEDs light in a different sequence or the 5–second interval does not occur, the control board is bad and should be replaced.

5)After checking the sequence, place S3 back in the OFF position. The S3 switch must remain in the OFF position during normal operation. This completes the output test and the unit is now in the 1 minute fill cycle.

6.Control Board Replacement

The application switch located between relay X3 & X4 must be set to match the original board application. Place this switch in the ALP position if there is no white wire supplied to the K1 connector. If there is a white wire, place the switch in the C position. If this switch is placed in the wrong position either the compressor contactor will remain energized with the control switch OFF or the unit will not start.

The dip switches should be adjusted to the factory default settings as outlined in this manual. 8 must remain in the OFF position.

D. Switches

Two control switches are used to control operation. These switches are referred to as the "control switch" and the "service switch" and are located on the control box.

1. Control Switch

The control switch has three positions: OFF for power off; ICE for icemaking, and SERVICE to activate the service switch.

2. Service Switch

When the control switch is in the SERVICE position, the control switch supplies power to the service switch and the machine is in service mode. The service switch has three positions: DRAIN, CIRCULATE, and WASH. See the information below for details of each function.

Note:

1.When the service switch is activated, power is supplied to the water pump in all three positions.

2.When the control switch is in the OFF position or in the ICE position, the service switch has no power and can be left in any position.

a)DRAIN

This model utilizes a pump-out drain system. When the service switch is active and placed in the DRAIN position, power is supplied to the pump, service relay and drain valve.
