IV. Service Diagnosis

WARNING

1.This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire.

2.Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.

3.Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.

4.CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the unit is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.

5.Make sure all food zones in the icemaker and storage bin are clean after the unit is serviced. For cleaning procedures, see "VI. Cleaning and Maintenance."

A. Diagnostic Procedure

The diagnostic procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used at unit startup or for system diagnosis. Before conducting the diagnostic procedure, check for correct installation, proper voltage per unit nameplate, and adequate water supply. Check CB using the steps in "IV.B. Control Board Check." Check the dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switch 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and S5 (KM-1601SAH/3 "G" CB) dip switch 1 through 5 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 5, 6 are cleaning adjustments and the settings are flexible. For factory default settings, see "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings." As you go through the procedure, check to assure the components energize and de-energize correctly. If not, those components and controls are suspect.

1)Turn off the power supply, then access the control box. Clear any ice from TBC.

2)Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position. A

5‑second delay occurs. CB red "POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED (KM‑1601SAH/3 "G" CB) turn on. If red "POWER OK" LED is off, clear ice away from TBC bulb in the storage bin area. If no ice is near TBC bulb or the LED does not turn on even after clearing away ice, check TBC. See "IV.C. Bin Control Check." If yellow "BC OPEN" LED (KM-1601SAH/3 "G" CB) is on (indicating a full bin), confirm that CB K4 jumper is in place.

3)1-Minute Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV and X11 relay (KM-1601SAH/3) energize and the 1-minute fill cycle begins. After 1 minute, CB checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If closed, continue to step 4. If open, WV remains energized through additional 1‑minute fill cycles until water fills the water tank and closes F/S (low water safety). Diagnosis: Confirm that water is filling the water tank. If not, check that the water supply shut-off valve is open and WV screen and any external filters are clear. If WV does not energize (LED 4 on), check CB K1 ten-pin connector pin #6 (O wire) for 115VAC. If no voltage is present, CB is bad and must be replaced.

If voltage is present, check WV connections and solenoid continuity. If unit fails to start harvest, check for open F/S or bad 1-minute timer in CB. See "IV.D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning."

KM-1601SWH/3, KM-1601SRH/3, KM-1601SAH/3 specifications

Hoshizaki has long been a trusted name in the world of commercial refrigeration and ice-making equipment. Among its offerings, the KM-1601SAH/3, KM-1601SRH/3, and KM-1601SWH/3 models stand out for their innovative features and robust design. These machines are integral for businesses that require reliable and efficient ice production, such as restaurants, hotels, and convenience stores.

At the core of these models is Hoshizaki's renowned Crescent Cube Technology, which produces clear, crescent-shaped ice that is ideal for both beverage service and food presentation. The unique shape of the ice ensures reduced melting rates, helping to maintain beverage temperature for longer periods while minimizing dilution. Additionally, the crescent ice is less prone to clumping, making it easier to dispense and ideal for high-volume use.

One of the key features of the KM-1601 series is its exceptional ice production capacity. Each model can produce up to 1,600 pounds of ice in a 24-hour cycle, making them suitable for heavy-demand environments. The machines are constructed with a durable stainless steel exterior, providing not only a sleek look but also enhanced resistance to corrosion and easy maintenance.

The KM-1601SAH/3 is designed with a built-in ice storage bin, allowing for seamless integration into various setups. Its state-of-the-art refrigeration system ensures optimal energy efficiency, which is crucial for businesses looking to manage operational costs. The KM-1601SRH/3 includes a self-contained design, simplifying installation and reducing the need for external ice storage solutions.

For users concerned with hygiene, these models boast advanced sanitation features. Hoshizaki's Antimicrobial Agent is incorporated into key components to inhibit the growth of bacteria and slime, ensuring cleaner ice production. The machines also feature easy-to-access panels for quick cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime.

Another significant characteristic is their user-friendly controls, which simplify operation and monitoring of ice production. The built-in monitoring system alerts users to any potential issues, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimal disruption to service.

The KM-1601SWH/3 model further enhances the lineup with its energy-efficient design, lightweight construction, and compact footprint, making it perfect for establishments with limited space. Collectively, these models reflect Hoshizaki's commitment to innovation, efficiency, and reliability in ice-making technology, making them a top choice for businesses that require substantial ice production without compromising on quality or safety. Whether you need a powerful ice machine for a bar, restaurant, or convenience store, Hoshizaki’s KM-1601 series delivers performance that you can depend on.
