If necessary, to gain clearance inside the rough-in
opening, a hole can be cut through the adjacent
cabinet and the power cord routed through this hole to
a power outlet. Another way to increase the available
opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the
rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.
Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this applica-
tion as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box
equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for
this application.

will return to the regular size.
Is the ice slab releasing? Clean the evaporator. See
Is the distributor tube restricted? Check the water line
to the ice machine to make sure there are no restrictions
Troubleshooting the Drain Pump
If the drain pump reservoir (not the ice machine bin)
If the ice machine is not working, check the following:
• Make sure there is power at the receptacle.
• Make sure the ice machine is turned on.
• Make sure the ice bin is not full.
Then check the drain pump:
The pump does not run:
• Make sure the pump is plugged in and there is power
to the receptacle.
• Check the inlet to the drain pump for debris and clean
as needed. Remove clamps and inlet tube from drain
pump to check for and remove debris.
• Make certain the vent line is free of kinks/sharp bends
or restrictions.
• Make certain there is enough water to activate the
of water to activate the drain pump.
The pump runs, but no water is pumped out:
• Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.
• Check the discharge line to make certain there are no
restrictions.
• Make sure that the discharge tubing has not exceeded
the maximum lift of eight (8) feet (2.44 meters) and the

Thermistors
Thermistors ar
e used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide
reliable temperature readings
using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures.
If a
faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
Both thermistors in the unit are different. If a thermistor is suspected of
being defective, the resistance can be veried. Place the thermistor in an
ice water bath, the resistance on thermistor 1
should read 16.lk Ohms +/-5% on your meter. Thermistor
2
should read
32
.6k ohms.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that
has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to
change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor
connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean
and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to
the connection. If you encounter
a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the
thermistor harness.
Thermistor error information can be found in the Control Operations -
Service section.
This unit has two thermistors.
Thermistor one (I
c
e
B
in):
Located along the left hand side wall. It is used to maintain the ice level in
the bin.
Thermistor two (

d
enser):
Located on the condenser. It is used for defrost.
Production Time Composition (PTC)

igher ambient and/or restricted airflow
can have negative effect on ice production. To compensate the production
cycle will increase

THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the condenser (T
