8.  Troubleshooting 

 

NOTE:  

With the exception of bin control,

 

anytime the machine stops, it must be manually re-started 

by pushing the "Start" push-button. If it stopped while in a freeze cycle, it will then start in a 
thawing cycle. 

 

Always check the machine 

thoroughly

 after remedying the problem to prevent the same cause from 

reoccurring.
