E. Thermistor Check
To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the right side panel, then remove the control box cover.
4) Remove the thermistor.
5) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or
3 minutes.
6) Disconnect the white thermistor connector from CB WHITE K3 connector and check the
resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is within 4.7 to 6.2 kΩ. If outside
the normal reading, replace the thermistor. See "V.B. Important Notes for Component
Replacement." If inside the normal reading, continue to the next step.
7) Replace the thermistor in its correct position. See "V.B. Important Notes for Component
Replacement."
8) Reconnect the white thermistor connector to CB WHITE K3 connector.
9) Replace the control box cover in its correct position, then turn on the power supply.
10) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
11) Once the harvest cycle starts, begin timing the harvest cycle.
12) The harvest timer and harvest cycle should terminate within 2 to 5 minutes. If the
harvest cycle does not terminate within 2 to 5 minutes, the harvest timer is bad and
CB should be replaced.
