Icemaker operational and diagnostic sequences
The wiring diagrams that follow illustrate the circuitry of Follett icemakers used with 12 series ice dispensers. Both
normal operation (stages 1 - 6) and non-normal diagnostic sequences showing torque-out (stages 7 - 10) for use
in troubleshooting are shown.
Circuitry notes
Compressor switch should read open in ON position.
Compressor start relay is position sensitive. See label on start relay for proper orientation.
Bin signal is 115 V, 60 Hz.
Flashing water LED at any time indicates that water signal to board has been lost for more than one second.
Ten-second delay: There is a 10 second delay in reaction to loss of water (WTR) or bin (B-E) signals. If signals are
not lost for more than 10 seconds, no reaction will occur.

Normal operation – Stage 1
Power is supplied to L1 of the control board. The ice level control in the dispenser is closed and calling for ice,
supplying signal voltage to the control board. The control board will now go through the start-up sequence. Less
than 30 seconds will elapse as the water sensor located in the fl oat reservoir checks for water in the reservoir.
The bin empty LED (B-E) and power LED (PWR) will be on.
