C. Bin Control Check

To check TBC, follow the steps below.

CAUTION

When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), TBC switch opens and shuts down the icemaker even if the ice storage bin is empty. When TBC is set in the prohibited range, the icemaker operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is filled with ice. Setting in the prohibited range may result in severe damage to the icemaker.

TBC is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, adjustment may be needed in some conditions, particularly at higher altitude locations. Note that when TBC switch is open, CB red "POWER OK" LED is off.

1)Turn off the power supply.

2)Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position.

3)Clear any ice away from TBC bulb.

4)Remove the control box cover, then disconnect TBC wires from TBC switch.

5)Hold your hand around TBC bulb to warm it up.

6)Check for continuity across TBC switch. If closed, continue to step 6. If open, adjust or replace TBC.

7)With the multimeter test leads still in place, hold ice on TBC bulb to lower the temperature. Within 10 seconds, TBC switch should open (no continuity). If it remains closed, adjust or replace TBC.
