5.1 conDenSer fan
The condenser fan is used to force air over the condenser coil. The fan will only run 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 resis-
•
tance. Axial motor shaft movement (thrust) is typical.
Check for resistance between terminals. If no resistance 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 0.15 amp without fan resistance. If current draw is 0.19 amp or more, check
•
for resistance in air movement or objects touching the fan blade. If this is not found, replace the condenser fan.
Removing the Condenser Fan:
Disconnect power, water line, and drain line. If a drain pump is used, it will need to be disconnected and removed.
1.
Remove the back panel and lower shroud (see Figure 3.3).
2.
Remove the grill by removing the two screws and disconnecting the three wires to the rocker switch. Be sure to mark where
3.
these wires go for reassembly (see Figure 3.4).
Remove the drain valve.
4.
Remove the water valve.
5.
Take out the two screws that secure the top of the electrical bracket located in the front of the mechanical area (see
6.
Figure 3.5).
Remove the six screws that secure the baseplate to the cabinet on the bottom of the unit (see Figure 3.7).
7.
Gently slide the mechanical out the back of the unit enough to gain access to the condenser fan (see Figure 3.7).
8.
Remove the two nuts that secure the condenser fan.
9.
Disconnect the neutral white wire lead (black ribbed wire) and hot wire lead (black smooth wire) from the wire harness.
10.
Remove the condenser fan.
11.
Installing the Condenser Fan:
Reverse the removal procedure for installation (see above).
5.2 thermiStorS
This unit utilizes two thermistors for reading temperatures for input to the electronic control. Each thermistor has a different func-
tion for input to the electronic control.
Evaporator thermistor:
The evaporator thermistor is secured to the underside of the evaporator. The location of the thermistor allows it to give voltage
input to the electronic control. This input is processed through the electronic control to switch the Ice Maker into the production
or harvest cycles. The thermistor must be tightly secured to the evaporator plated copper bracket for proper heat transfer.
