ICEMAKER FAULT TESTING
Bypass 45-minute dwell by pressing ICE ON/OFF key to OFF
then ON. Then depress icemaker switch & manually start ice-
maker by turning driver gear counter-clockwise with screw-
driver.
1 If icemaker starts & finishes cycle:
(NOTE: If >15°F (-9°C), icemaker will only complete 1
revolution.)
a. Visually inspect electrical connections at icemaker &
valve. Repair if necessary.
b. Check valve operation with test cord, if doesn't open,
replace.
c. Check thermostat. Open: 48° (9°C) ± 6°, Close: 15°
(-9°C) ± 3°. Replace icemaker if defective.
d. With icemaker in park position, check solenoid switch
terminals "C" & "NO" for continuity. With ejector
between 8:00 & 10:00 position, check solenoid switch
terminals "C" & "NC" for continuity. If no continuity for
either terminal check, replace icemaker.
2. If icemaker starts but does not finish cycle:
a. With icemaker in park position check holding switch ter-
minals "C" & "NC" for continuity. Then with icemaker
ejector between 10:00 & 12:00, check holding switch
terminals "C" & "NO" for continuity. If no continuity for
either terminal check, replace icemaker. (Refer to
enclosed wiring diagram)
b. With icemaker in park position check shut-off switch
terminals "C" & "NO" for continuity. With ejector
between 12:00 & 2:00 check shut-off switch terminals
"C" & "NC" for continuity. If no continuity for either ter-
minal check, replace icemaker.
c. Check mold heater for 75-85. If outside range,
replace icemaker.
3 If icemaker motor does NOT start:
a. Lower shutoff arm
b. Check motor operation with test cord. If motor doesn't
run, replace icemaker.
c. Check power to & from icemaker switch. Reconnect or
repair connection or replace icemaker as necessary.
d. Check for 115V AC from control board. If power is pres-
ent check & repair connection. If no power, replace
control board.
