machine to complete the freeze cycle and the following harvest cycle before shutting
down the machine.
When the bin control is activated, the “POWER OK” LED flashes. There is a delay
before the shutdown sequence begins. The delay varies depending on the cycle the
icemaker is in at the time of activation. For details, see the table below.
Cycle at Bin Control Activation Delay Before Shutdown Sequence Begins
Fill Cycle 15 seconds
Harvest Cycle 15 seconds after the next freeze cycle starts
Freeze Cycle 15 seconds if the bin control is activated between the
beginning of freeze and termination of the 5-minute short
cycle protection timer (timer starts when the thermistor
temperature drops to 36°F (2°C) (5.5 kȍ or more)). After this
time, the unit will not shut down until the next harvest cycle is
complete.
1. Bin Control Check
1) Remove the air ¿ lter. Move the control switch to the “OFF” position, then unplug the
appliance. Access the control box.
2) Clear any ice away from the bin control.
Fig. 1
3) Disconnect the bin control at the 2-pin connector
attached to the black wires (located in the circle in
Fig. 1) coming from the K1 connector (pins 4 & 5) on
the control board.
4) Check for continuity across the bin control leads.
When calling for ice, the bin control proximity switch
should be closed. If open, replace the bin control.
Activate the bin control actuator (press the actuator
in), check for continuity across the bin control leads.
The bin control proximity switch should be open. If
closed, replace the bin control.
5) Reconnect the 2-pin connector. Plug in the appliance,
then move the control switch to the “ICE” position.
Allow the machine to cycle into the freeze cycle. In
the ¿ rst 5 minutes of the freeze cycle, activate the bin
control actuator (press the actuator in). The “POWER
OK” LED should À ash and the machine should turn
off. If not, replace the control board.
