Normal operation – Stage 4
One second (1 s) after the fan comes on, the
COMPRESSOR output comes on . The compressor circuit uses both
run and start capacitors along with a potential start relay . The start capacitor in energized through the normally
closed contacts of the start relay .

Normal operation – Stage 5
As the compressor comes up to normal running speed, its start winding generates a voltage potential across the
relay’s coil . This energizes the coil to open the contact and drop out the start capacitor .
The ice machine is now in a normal ice making mode . The ice machine will produce ice until the bin level control
in the ice dispenser is satisfied .
