Removal and Replacement: AutoIQ Controller

Disconnect

the electrical power.

2. Remove the front panel.
3. Remove mounting screw holding controller to

cabinet.
4. Touch a metal surface to discharge any static

electricity.
5. Pull controller out slightly and unplug all

electrical connections.
Note: Do NOT touch the back of the controller.
6. Carefully remove the new controller from its

packaging. Again, do NOT touch the back of the

controller.
7. Plug all electrical connectors into the new

controller.
8. Re-attach the controller to the cabinet.
9. Switch on the electrical power. All Lights should

lite up.
10. Push and release the Freeze button.
11. Replace the front panel.

Electric Eyes (Ice Sensors)

These must be replaced as a set.
1. Remove front panel.
2. Push and release the Off button.
3. Remove evaporator cover.
4. Remove cascading shield.
5. Locate the front and back ice sensors. Each has

a rectangular tab that was holding the cascading

shield. Pull on that tab until each sensor has been

removed.
6. Unplug sensors from controller connections 3

and 4.
7. Remove sensors from machine. Note: Some

cable ties may have to be cut and side panels

removed.
8. Reverse to reassemble. Be sure that the color

codes of the connecting wires match.
