Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on.
Comp remains energized, PM, FM, and LLV
(KM-515MAH-E) energize. WV and HGV de-energize. For the first 5 minutes, CB will not
terminate the freeze cycle. At the end of 5 minutes, F/S assumes control of the freeze
cycle. As ice builds on the evaporator, the water level in the water tank lowers. Freeze
continues until F/S opens, provided the 5-minute minimum freeze timer has terminated.
Diagnosis:
During the first 5 minutes of freeze, confirm that the evaporator temperature
drops. If the evaporator is not cold, check to see if HGV is still open or if TXV is not
opening properly, if WV is continuing to fill the reservoir, if there are improper icemaker
pressures, or an inoperative Comp. After 5 minutes in freeze, disconnect black F/S
connector from CB BLACK K5 connector. The icemaker should switch out of the freeze
cycle ("G" CB - 15 second delay after F/S opens before terminating the freeze cycle). If
the icemaker switches out of freeze with F/S removed, but would previously not switch
out of freeze with F/S connected (long freeze - 3 beep alarm), F/S may be sticking.
To check and clean F/S, see "IV.D. Float Switch Check and Cleaning." If the icemaker
remains in freeze (longer than 15 seconds on "G" CB) after disconnecting the black F/S
connector, replace CB.
Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 20 to 40 minutes depending on model and
conditions. Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided in
this manual. See "III.C. Performance Data."

Pump-Out Cycle – (10/20 second pump-out) – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on.
LED 4 is
on when S4 dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and 4 on (KM-320MAH-E). Comp
remains energized, HGV energizes. WV energizes if S4 dip switch 3 off and 4 on.
LLV (KM-515MAH-E) and FM de-energize. PM stops for 2 seconds, then reverses for
10/20 seconds depending on pump-out timer S4 dip switch 3 & 4 setting. When the
pump-out timer expires, the pump-out is complete. The pump-out frequency control is
factory set for every 10th cycle on KM-320MAH-E and every cycle for KM-515MAH-E
and KM-650MAH-E. Generally no adjustment is required. However, the pump-out
frequency can be adjusted. The pump-out frequency control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) can
be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every 2, 5, or 10 cycles. For details, see
"II.C.3.d) Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6)."
Timing of the first pump-out is dependent on CB. "E" CB first pump-out is after the first
freeze cycle. "G" CB first pump-out is determined by S4 dip switch 5 & 6. See the table
below.

Diagnosis:
Check PM circuit and capacitor, check #5 pin (DBU wire) on CB K1 ten-pin
connector for voltage. If water does not pump out, check and clean the check valve
assembly and tubing.
