3. Check the flow rate of the reservoir water line. Using a stopwatch or a watch with a
second hand, see what amount of time it takes to fill up a one quart container. The
time should be 60 seconds to get the .25 gpm specifications of the valve.
•
If it takes substantially less than 60 seconds, check the water supply pressure
to make certain it is not above 120 psi static pressure. If it is not, the
metering orifice of the valve has been changed and the valve will need to be
replaced.
•
If it takes substantially more than 60 seconds, check the water supply
pressure to make certain it is not below 20 psi static pressure. If it is not,
make certain the valve screen filter is clean. If the filter is clean, replace the
valve
Removal:
1. Disconnect power, water line, and drain line.
2. Remove the access panel and rear panel (see figure 3.3)
3. Remove the blue and white wire terminals at the water valve.
4. Loosen the reservoir water supply line compression nut from the bottom of the water
valve.
5. Remove the two screws securing the water valve to the unit’s support pan.
6. Remove the water valve.
Installation:
Reverse the removal procedure for installation. Make certain that the reservoir waterline
is in the reservoir inside the unit and there are no water leaks anywhere after installation.
5.1 Condenser Fan
The condenser fan is used to force air over the condenser coil. The fan will run only
during ice production cycle and turn off in ice harvest cycle.
To check the condenser fan:
•
Make sure motor shaft turns freely. This can be done by rotating the fan blade by
hand and observing any excessive resistance.
•
Check for resistance between terminals. If no resistance is found, replace the
condenser fan.
•
Check for continuity between terminals and fan casing. If continuity is found,
replace the condenser fan.
•
Check current draw, typical current draw will be .15 amp without fan resistance. If
current draw is .19 amp or more, check for resistance in air movement or objects
touching the fan blade. If this is not found, then replace the condenser fan.
