Normal operation – Stage 2
When continuity is seen between B and C, the water valve de-energizes, the AUGER output (P4) comes on along
with the
MAKING ICE LED. The auger gearmotor’s start windings are energized through a current style start relay
that is pulled in by the initial high current draw of the gearmotor.

Normal operation – Stage 3
After the initial high current draw drops off, the gearmotor start relay contacts open, dropping out the start winding.
The condenser fan output (P3) comes on 0.5 seconds later.
