EvapFM continuity.
e) Solid Door Cabinet Light Diagnosis: LED(s) are activated from door switch.
Open the door (upper on HS/HG), conrm LED(s) energizes. If not, with door open,
check for 5 to 12VDC at CM S4 brown (BR) to CM S4 blue (BU). If 5 to 12VDC
is not present at CM S4 brown (BR) to CM S4 blue (BU), conrm 115VAC power
supply to CM at terminals 2 (L) black (BK) to 3 (N) white (W). If 115VAC is present,
and LED(s) are off, check DS continuity. If DS is disengaged (open) and contacts
are closed, replace DS. IfDS is disengaged (open) and contacts are open, check
for 115VAC from CM 6 (LED) (Y) to a neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, replace
CM. If 115VAC is present at CM 6 (LED) (Y) to a neutral (W) and LED(s) are not
on, check for 24VDC at DCD black (BK) wire to DCD red (R) wire. If 24VDC is not
present, check continuity of DCD driver. If open, replace DCD driver. If 24VDC is
present and LED(s) are not on, check wiring harness and wiring connections from
DCD to LED(s). Ifconnections are good and LED(s) are not on, replace LED(s).

16
f) Glass Door Cabinet Light Diagnosis: LED(s) are activated from control module
light switch. Glass door models feature lights that are controlled by the Standby/Light
control button located on the control module. Press the standby/light button quickly
to turn the light on or off. If LED(s) fail to turn on, check for 115VAC from CM 6 (LED)
(Y) to a neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present at CM 6 (LED) (Y)to a neutral (W),
replace CM. If 115VAC is present at CM 6 (LED) (Y) to a neutral (W) and LED(s) are
not on, check for 24VDC at DCD black (BK) wire to DCD red (R) wire. If 24VDC is
not present, check continuity of DCD driver. If open, replace DCD driver. If 24VDC is
present and LED(s) are not on, check wiring harness and wiring connections from
DCD to LED(s). Ifconnections are good and LED(s) are not on, replace LED(s).
g) CM Diagnosis: Cabinet temperature appears on display. If not, check for 115VACat
CM 2 (L) (BK) to CM 3 (N) (W). If 115VAC is not present, check power cord

D. Thermistor Check
The cabinet thermistor is used for cabinet temperature control and the defrost thermistor
is used for defrost cycle termination and evaporator fan motor control.
• Refrigerator: Defrost termination is 44°F (6.6°C).
• Freezer: Defrost termination is 77°F (25°C).
• Freezer: Evaporator fan motor initiation after defrost is 15°F(-9°C) or
4-min. Evaporator fan motor delay timer terminates.
• Evaporator fan motor high-temperature control:
Refrigerator: Defrost thermistor at or higher than 50°F (10°C).
Freezer: Defrost thermistor at or higher than 32°F (0°C).
Thermistor resistance varies depending on temperature. The control module monitors the
thermistors to control system operation. No adjustment is required.
To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below.
1) Unplug the appliance.
2) Remove the front panel, control panel, top louver, and evaporator cover.
3) Remove the thermistor in question, then immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a
glass containing ice and water for 2 to 3 min.
4) Disconnect the thermistor connector from the control module.
5) Check the resistance between the wires at the thermistor connector. Normal reading is
within 16.0 to 16.7 kΩ. If outside the normal reading, replace the thermistor.
6) Reconnect and replace the thermistor in its correct position.
7) Replace the evaporator cover, top louver, control panel, and front panel in their correct
positions.
8) Plug the appliance back in.

B. Temperature
The temperature default scale is °F, but it can be changed to read °C. To change,
see "III.B.3. Changing the Temperature Display Scale (°F or °C)" below.
1. Default Settings
a) Temperature Setpoint:
Model Auxiliary Code Temperature Setpoint
Refrigerator All 38°F (3°C)
Freezer All -2°F (-19°C)
b) Temperature Display Scale: °F.
2. Temperature Setpoint
The temperature setpoint is the value for the average cabinet temperature. The
temperature differential for the compressor to turn on and off is ±3°F (±1.7°C) of the
temperature setpoint. For example, for a refrigerator temperature setpoint of 36°F (2°C),
the compressor comes on at 39°F (3.7°C), and the compressor goes off at 33°F (0.3°C).
If necessary, adjust the temperature setpoint as follows:
1) To change the temperature setpoint, press and release the up or down button.
The current temperature setpoint appears.
2) Press the up or down button until the desired value is displayed. After a few seconds,
the display returns to the current cabinet temperature and the temperature setpoint is
saved. NOTICE! Do not adjust the temperature setpoint more than 2°F (1°C) at a
time. Allow the temperature to stabilize for a minimum of 8hours before making
further temperature setpoint adjustments.
• For refrigerators, the temperature setpoint is adjustable between 31°F and 52°F
(-0.5°C and 11°C). The factory default is 38°F (3°C).
• For freezers, the temperature setpoint is adjustable between -10°F and +12°F (-24°C
and -11°C). The factory default is -2°F (-19°C).
3. Changing the Temperature Display Scale (°F or °C)
To change the temperature display scale, press and hold either the up or down button for
5 seconds. The factory default is °F.

30
C. Defrost
To initiate a manual defrost, press the manual defrost button briey. The defrost icon and
"dEF" appear on the display.
1. Refrigerators
Refrigerators use a time-initiated, off-cycle defrost. Defrost occurs when either the
2-hr.cumulative compressor run timer terminates or the 2-hr. continuous compressor
run timer terminates. When either the 2-hr.cumulative compressor run timer or the
2-hr. continuous compressor run timer terminates, defrost begins. The 5-min. minimum
defrost timer and the 1-hr. maximum defrost timer starts. If energized the compressor
de-energizes and the evaporator fan motor continues. Cabinettemperature is not
displayed during defrost; "dEF" is displayed in its place along with defrost icon. After
the 5-min. minimum defrost timer terminates and the defrost thermistor warms to 44°F
(6.6°C), defrost terminates. The defrost icon turns off and the compressor energizes.
"dEF" is displayed during defrost and continues for 15 min. after defrost termination.
Once the 15-min. "dEF" display timer terminates, cabinet temperature returns to the
display. Note: If the defrost thermistor is above 50°F (10°C) the evaporator fan motor
de-energizes until the defrost thermistor reaches 49°F (9°C).
2. Freezers
Freezers use a time-initiated, heated defrost. Defrost occurs when either the
5-hr.cumulative compressor run timer terminates or the 4-hrcontinuous compressor
run timer terminates. When either the 5 hr. cumulative compressor run timer or the
4-hrcontinuous run timer terminates, defrost begins. The 5-min. minimum defrost
timer and the 1-hr. maximum defrost timer starts. Cabinettemperature is not displayed
during defrost; "dEF" is displayed in its place along with the defrost icon. After the
5-min. minimum defrost timer terminates and the defrost thermistor warms to 77°F
(25°C), defrost terminates (defrost heater de-energizes). A 3-min. compressor delay
timer starts. Once the 3-min. compressor delay timer terminates, the compressor
energizes and a 4-min. evaporator fan motor delay timer (drip time) starts. Once the
4-min. evaporator fan motor delay timer (drip time) terminates, the evaporator fan
motor energizes, the defrost icon turns off, and the 15-min. temperature display delay
timer starts. Once the 15-min. temperature display delay timer terminates, cabinet
temperature is displayed. Note that the 4-min. evaporator fan motor delay time is a
maximum; if the defrost thermistor cools to 15°F (-9.5°C) before the 4-min. evaporator
fan motor delay timer terminates, the evaporator fan motor will energize. Freezers have
a minimum defrost interval of 5hours.
3. Manual Defrost
To initiate a manual defrost, press the manual defrost button.

E. Safety Devices and Light Control
1. Compressor External or Internal Protector
If combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specied by the
compressor manufacturer, the compressor overload operates independently to turn
off the compressor. The compressor overload de-energizes the compressor until the
temperature/amperage value returns to an acceptable level.
2. Short-Cycle Protection
There is a 2-min. minimum off-time and on-time for the compressor.
Note: Time may vary with compressor protector or high-pressure switch activation.
3. High-Pressure Switch
If pressure on the high-side of the appliance exceeds Hoshizaki specications, the
high-pressure switch activates and interrupts the compressor circuit, de-energizing the
compressor until the pressure returns to an acceptable level.
If the condenser fan motor is operating and the compressor is off, it is most likely that the
compressor protector opened. If both the compressor and condenser fan motor are off, it
is most likely the appliance is off or the high-pressure switch has opened.
4. Light Control for Glass Door Models
Glass door models feature lights that are controlled by the standby/light control button
located on the control module. Press and release the standby/light button to turn the light
on or off.
F. Mullion/Perimeter Heater
Refrigerators are equipped with mullion heaters and the freezers are equipped with
mullion and perimeter heaters. The heaters are energized (except PT2A and R_2A
models) when the appliance is plugged into the electrical outlet. Mullion heater
energizes with compressor and condensor fan motor on PT2A and R_2A models.

35
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
WARNING
• Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by
properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
• Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace
of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise
the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). Do not use R-290 as a mixture with
pressurized air for leak testing.
NOTICE
• Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or
servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-290 appliances can absorb
moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the
system when replacing or servicing parts.
• Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant
ow.
• When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
Refrigerant leaks must be repaired as soon as they are discovered. If not, refrigerant
charge should be recovered from the system until the leak can be repaired.
When repairing a leak:
• Repair the leak properly – Remove the refrigerant, examine the leak source, determine
the reason for the leak, and carry out the proper course of action.
• Before repairing the leak, ensure that the refrigerant has been recovered and the
system purged with nitrogen when brazing.
• Be sure to remove piercing valves attached to the system after repairs are made.
1. Refrigerant Recovery
Using proper refrigerant practices, place piercing valves toward the end (crimped area)
of the high and low-side process tubes, then recover the refrigerant into an approved
container or device.

36
2. Brazing
DANGER
Risk of Fire or Explosion Flammable Refrigerant Used
• Servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel to minimize the risk
of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
Risque De Feu Ou D'Explosion Le Frigorigène Est Inammable
• L’entretien doit être effectué par le personnel de service autorisé par le fabricant
an de minimiser les risques d’inammation attribuables à l’installation d’une pièce
inadéquate ou à la mauvaise exécution du service.
WARNING
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when servicing the
appliance.
• You must have a combustible gas leak detector in the immediate work area at all
times.
• You must have a Class B chemical re extinguisher available at all times.
• Notify all persons in the immediate area that you are working with a ammable
refrigerant.
• Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
• Be sure the area is clear of refrigerant vapor before brazing.
1) Purge with nitrogen for 2 min. WARNING! Purging with nitrogen gas assures all
refrigerant has been removed from the refrigeration circuit.
2) Braze/repair/replace damaged component or ttings while purging with nitrogen gas
owing at a pressure of 3 to 5 PSIG.
NOTICE
• Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
• Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant
ow.
• When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
3) Use soap bubbles to check for leaks. Raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (190 PSIG).
Do not use any refrigerant as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
4) Once leak checking is complete, release the nitrogen gas from the system.

37
3. Evacuation
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect the charging hoses to both
high and low-side refrigerant piercing valves.
IMPORTANT
The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for current
refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for
evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for POE oils.
2) Turn on the vacuum pump, then open the gauge manifold valves. Never allow the oil in
the vacuum pump to ow backwards.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 29.9" Hg vacuum (500 microns). Evacuating
period depends on pump capacity.
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
5) Disconnect the gauge manifold hose from the vacuum pump and attach it to a
refrigerant service cylinder. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air
from the hose. For the required refrigerant charge, see the nameplate. Hoshizaki
recommends only virgin or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard 700 (latest
edition) be used.
4. Recharge
6) R-290 can be charged in either the liquid or vapor state. A liquid charge is preferred.
Service kit SP-5459 is recommended when recharging an R-290 refrigeration circuit.
Connect the refrigerant hose to the service cylinder and bleed air out of refrigerant
hose. Next, invert the service cylinder and place it on the scales. Zero out the scales.
Open the high-side valve on the gauge manifold.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
8) Close the high-side valve on the gauge manifold. If charging is complete, skip to step 10.
9) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side.
NOTICE!To prevent compressor damage, use a throttling valve or liquid
dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through the low-side
refrigerant access valve with the compressor running. Close the refrigerant cylinder
valve and let the low-side refrigerant equalize to the system, then close the low-side
manifold gauge. Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
10) Remove the refrigerant hose from the service cylinder. Pinch off (crimp down) the
process tubes just below the piercing valves.
11) Remove the piercing valves. Cut the process tubes to remove the piercing valve holes
then braze the process tubes closed. Note: Be sure there is no refrigerant leak or
refrigerant in the area before brazing.
12) Use a combustible gas leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks again.
13) Place red sleeves over the process tubes.
14) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet. Allow the appliance to cool to setpoint
before reloading.
