15) Check for continuity across F/S leads. With the water tank full, F/S should be closed. If
F/S is closed and the icemaker will not switch from the 1-minute fill cycle to the initial
harvest cycle, replace CB.
If open, confirm that the water tank is full. If the tank is not full, check the water supply,
water filters, and inlet water valve. If the tank is full, follow the steps in "IV.D.2. Float
Switch Cleaning." After cleaning the float switch, check it again. Replace if necessary.
2. Float Switch Cleaning
Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the float switch. Scale on the
switch can cause the float to stick. In this case, the float switch should be cleaned.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the insulation panel. Remove cube guide B, then remove cube guide A. See
Fig. 4. Remove the overflow cap, overflow pipe, and water shield.
4) Remove the drain plug. Allow the water tank to drain, then replace the drain plug in its
correct position. Be careful not to cross thread it.
5) Replace the water shield, overflow pipe, overflow cap, cube guide A, cube guide B, and
insulation panel in their correct positions. Be careful not to cross thread the overflow
pipe.
6) Disconnect the vent tube and the flush tube from the top of the float switch, then remove
the float switch assembly from the mounting bracket and remove the rubber boot from
the bottom of the float switch assembly. See Fig. 5.
7) Remove the retainer rod from the bottom of the float switch assembly, then remove the
float. Be careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it.
8) Wipe down the float switch assembly's housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod with a
mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Clean the inside of
the rubber boot and hose with cleaning solution. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean
water.
9) Reassemble the float switch assembly
and replace it and the rubber boot in their
correct positions. Reconnect the vent tube
and the flush tube.
10) Move the control switch to the "ICE"
position.
11) Replace the front panel in its correct
position.
12) Turn on the power supply to start the
automatic icemaking process.
