TROUBLESHOOTING

8-6
SYMPTOM: Low ice capacity.
POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE REMEDY
Low refrigerant charge. Check for and repair leaks, and add
refrigerant.
Restriction in liquid line. Check for a partially closed valve, or an
obstruction at the drier, strainer, solenoid
valve, or expansion valve. The liquid line will
normally have frost on the downstream side of
a restriction, especially as the suction pressure
decreases.
Float switch stuck or failed in open position Make sure the float switch is opening and
closing. Make sure the “A1” valve is getting
power.
Thawing gas solenoid valve (18) leaking
through during the freeze cycle. Check the manual opening stem to make sure
it is in the automatic position (stem screwed
out). Check for leakage through the valve by
sound and temperature difference. Close the
stop valve (90) at the receiver to confirm
suspicion of leakage. Repair or replace the
valve as needed.
Water distributors at top of freezer may be
stopped up. Remove freezer cover and clean the
distributors. See Water Distributors,
Section 7.
Inadequate water for ice making. Check water pressure (30 PSIG minimum
recommended). Check for a water restriction
in the supply line or at the make-up water float
valve.
Make-up water float valve (12) stuck open,
adjusted too high, or water tank drain valve
(15) open or leaking Repair, replace or adjust float valve, or close,
repair, or replace water tank drain valve.
Controls for regulating freezing and thawing
cycles not adjusted properly. For highest capacity, cylinder ice should have
a small hole and crushed ice should be about
3/16" thick. Check the freezer pressure switch
and thaw timer for proper adjustment, Section
9.
Excessively high head pressure. Check water regulating valve or fan control
adjustment. Check to make sure the WC or
AC condenser is clean. Check refrigerant
tables for pressure/temperature relation.
Warm make-up water for ice making. Capacity of the machine is proportional to ice
making water temperature. Warmer water
will reduce the ice making capacity. See
Section 10, Capacity Table.
Drain valve (12) open. Close drain valve (12).
