B. Control Board Check
Before replacing CB that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad,
always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your
diagnosis.
Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on CB while
CB is beeping.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Care should be taken
not to touch live terminals.
Once reset, the unit starts at the 1-minute fill
cycle. For audible alarm information, see "II.C.2. LED Lights and Audible
Alarm Safeties."
1) Check the dip switch settings to assure that S4 dip switch 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, and S5 dip
switch 1 through 5 are in the factory default position. S4 dip switch 1, 2, 5, 6 are
cleaning adjustments and the settings are flexible. For factory default settings, see
"II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings."
2) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. If the red "POWER OK" LED is on,
control voltage is good, continue to step 3. If the red "POWER OK" LED is off, check
CT secondary circuit. CT output is 10.5VAC at 115VAC primary input. If the secondary
circuit has proper voltage and the red LED is off, CB is bad and should be replaced.
If the secondary circuit does not have proper voltage, check CT primary circuit. Check
for 115VAC at CB K1 ten-pin connector #10 pin (BR wire) to a white neutral wire for
115VAC. (Always choose a white neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection
when checking voltages.) For additional checks, see "IV.F.1. No Ice Production."
3) The "OUTPUT TEST" button provides a relay sequence test. Make sure the control
switch is in the "ICE" position, then press the "OUTPUT TEST" button. The correct
lighting sequence is 1, 4, 3, 2. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of
the control board is 1, 4, 3, 2. Components (e.g., compressor) will cycle during the test.
Following the test, the icemaker begins operation at the 1-minute fill cycle. If the LEDs
do not light as described above, CB is bad and should be replaced.
4) To verify voltage output from CB to the components, slide the CB K1 ten-pin connector
out far enough to allow multimeter lead contact. With the unit in the cycle to be tested,
check output voltage from the corresponding pin on CB K1 ten-pin connector to ground.
If output voltage is not found and the appropriate LED is on, CB is bad and should be
replaced.
