Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on.
WV remains energized, Comp and
HGV energize. CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located
on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ from the
thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2).
The harvest timer has settings of 60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds. When the harvest timer
terminates, the harvest cycle is complete. CB checks the position of F/S and proceeds
to the next cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute fill cycle if it is open. The minimum
total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is 2 minutes.
The pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) acts in place of the harvest timer during
cycles with a pump-out (S4 dip switch 5 & 6). WV is energized during harvest for a
maximum of 6 minutes.
NOTICE!
Do not adjust S4 dip switch 7 out of the factory
default position on this model. This dip switch must be left in the factory default
position or this icemaker will not operate correctly.
For details, see "II.C.3.e) Bin
Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer (S4 Dip Switch 7)."
Diagnosis:
Check if Comp is running, HGV and WV still energized. Average harvest
cycle at factory setting is 2 to 3 minutes. How long does initial harvest last? 1.5 minutes
after initial harvest begins, touch Comp discharge line. Is it hot? If not, check refrigerant
pressures and Comp operation. If it is hot, touch the inlet line to the evaporator. Is it
hot? If it is hot and the freeze cycle is not starting, check the harvest timer adjustment
(S4 dip switch 1 & 2), the thermistor for open circuit, the discharge line temperature,
Comp efficiency, and if HGV is fully open. For a thermistor check, see "IV.E. Thermistor
Check." If 1-minute fill cycle starts after harvest, check that F/S is clean and operating
properly, see "IV.D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." Make sure PM does not come
on last 50 seconds of harvest on icemakers with "G" CB. For details, see "II.C.3.e) Bin
Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer (S4 Dip Switch 7)."
