Service Diagnosis

•

What happened if?

•

The controller is showing a two blink refrigeration
diagnostic light

– This indicates that the ice harvest was very slow and

the controller timed-out on maximum harvest time

– Ice was NOT sensed by the control system

– Likely causes include

•

Freeze up

•

Vapor inlet valve did not open

•

Ice sensor can’t “see” ice well
