WARNING

• The appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service

personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire.

• Risk of electric shock. Control switch in "OFF" position does not de-energize all

loads Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.

• Moving parts (e.g., fan blade) can crush and cut. Keep hands clear.
• Before servicing the appliance, move the control switch to the "OFF" position and

turn off the power supply.

•

CHOKING HAZARD:

Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are

securely in place after the appliance is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen

into the dispenser unit/ice storage bin.

• Make sure all food zones in the appliance and dispenser unit/ice storage bin are

clean after service.

The diagnostic procedure is a sequence check that allows you to diagnose the electrical

system and components. Before proceeding, check for correct installation, proper

voltage per nameplate, and adequate water supply. Check CB using the steps in "II.C.

Control Board Check." Check dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switches and S5

dip switches 1 through 5 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5

are cleaning adjustments and the settings are flexible. For factory default settings,

see "III.C.1. Default Dip Switch Settings."

Note: • On 208-230/60/1 models with main transformer and 208-230/60/3 models,

the appliance neutral (W) is provided through the main transformer. To confirm

a good neutral, check for 60VAC from white (W) neutral to ground (GND).

If 60VAC is present, neutral is good. If 60VAC is not present, check 208-230VAC

main power supply to main transformer. If 208-230VAC is present, check main

transformer continuity.

• When checking voltage from the CB K1 connector (10 pin connector), pull

CB K1 connector out slightly to allow room for multimeter test leads contact.

1) Turn off the power supply, then access the control box. Move the control switch to the

"OFF" position. Clear any ice from BC bulb.

2) Check that BC is closed and the 115VAC 10A fuse is good.
