(ii)After the above step (i), disconnect the float switch leads from the controller board within the first 5 minutes of the freeze cycle.

The unit should go into the defrost cycle after the first 5 minutes ± 20 seconds of the freeze cycle.

(iii)Reconnect the float switch connector to the controller board. After the first 5 minutes of the freeze cycle, disconnect the float switch leads from the controller board.

At this point, the unit should start the defrost cycle.

(iv)After step (iii), de-energize the unit and confirm that the defrost timer is in the minimum position. Disconnect the resistor from the controller board, and energize the unit.

After the 1 minute water supply cycle, the defrost cycle starts.

Re-connect a 1.5 k- 3.5 kresistor to the connector K3 (pins #1 and #2) after the first 2 minutes of the defrost cycle. The unit should start the freeze cycle after 1 minute ± 5 seconds from the resistor connection.

3)Check the controller board using the controller board’s test program.

The output test switch “S3” provides a relay sequence test. With power OFF, place S3 on and switch power to ICE. The correct lighting sequence should be none, 2, 3, 4, 1, and 4, normal sequence every 5 seconds. S3 should remain in the “OFF” position for normal operation.
