Water Pump: Continuously circulates the water from the water tank, through the water plate
during the ice making cycle. The water pump also operates during the wash cycle to circulate
cleaning and sanitizing solution.
Actuator Motor: Rotates the cam arms counter-clockwise, at the beginning of the ice harvest
cycle, to lower the water plate, so the ice can fall out of the evaporator. It then rotates clockwise,
at the end of the harvest cycle, to close the water plate for the next ice making cycle.
Actuator Motor Capacitor: Installed between the two actuator motor windings, the function of
this capacitor is to determine the direction of the rotation of the actuator motor.
Cam Arms: These are attached to the actuator motor output shaft and function initially to
separate the water plate from the evaporator and then to support the water plate as it opens fully.
Water Plate Springs: Function as the connection between the cam arms and the water plate.
They also act as a safety mechanism, stretching if any ice remains on the water plate surface as
it is closing against the evaporator.
Drain Pan: Provided to catch the dreg water at the end of the ice making / cleaning and
sanitizing cycles and directs it to the drain.
Ice Deflectors-Front and Rear: Provided to direct the falling ice to the storage bin.
Controller: Controls the ice machine utilizing multiple sensors. Provides power directly to many
of the ice machine components, through solid-state relay outputs and indirectly to the compressor
and condenser fan motor, if so equipped, by operation of a contactor. The controller also
provides status indication of the ice machine and components as well as diagnostics for service
personnel.
On-Off Switch: The “On” position provides power to the controller to operate the ice machine.
The “Off” position interrupts power to the controller to shut down the ice machine.
Ice-Clean Switch: The “Ice” position signals the controller to provide full operation of the ice
machine. The “Clean” position signals the controller to exclude operation of the contactor and
thereby the compressor and condenser fan motor if so equipped
This position is useful for cleaning the ice machine and for test procedures where operation of the
compressor is not required or desired.
Ice Level Probe: Senses when the ice bin is full- Contact between this probe and the ice in the
storage bin will signal the controller to shut off the ice machine. When ice is removed from the
probe, the ice machine will restart.
Adjustment: While holding ice against the probe tube, turn the adjustment knob on the controller
to shut off the ice machine within one minute. A warmer (CCW Bottom blue knob) adjustment will
shut off the ice machine sooner. A colder (CW) adjustment will delay shut off.
