Single System RLMAINTENANCE AND CLEANINGA Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. Inorder to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance.It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, andless costly in the long run, to avoid possible down time by keeping it clean; adjusting it as needed; and byreplacing worn parts before they can cause failure. The following is a list of recommended maintenancethat will help keep the machine running with a minimum of problems.Maintenance and Cleaning should be scheduled at a minimum of twice per year.ICE MAKING SYSTEM: In place cleaning 12.

Check: The master switch, switch ON if off.C. Check the water level in the reservoir. The machine will not run if there is not enough water in thereservoir. Restore/adjust water level.STATUS: NOTHING OPERATESD. Check: The gear motor, if it will not run, the liquid line valve will not open. If no power to it:Check: The indicator lights on the circuit board, the bin empty light should be ON, the no water lightshould be OFF . 1. If the bin empty and no water lights are off, check the transformer. a. Transformer \"load\" side should have 12 to 15 volts. If not, check the \"line\" side. The line side should have between 208-230 volts. If the line side has the correct voltage and the load side does not, replace the transformer. 2. If the transformer is good, and the bin empty light is OFF, check the ice level sensors. a. Remove sensors by sliding them sideways out of the ice chute. Visually inspect them, clean if needed. b. Look through the ice chute \"eye\" hole for something blocking the ice chute. c. If the unit still does not run, replace the ice level sensors. d. If the bin empty light is still OFF, check the circuit board. SEE LAST PAGE FOR TESTERINFORMATION 3. If the transformer is fine, and the \"no water\" light is ON, check the water level sensor. a. Check the water level in the reservoir, restore if low. If the water level is ok: b. Remove the water level sensor from the reservoir and clean the tip if dirty. CAUTION: THE TIP IS MADE OF GLASS c. Replace the water level sensor. If the no water light is still on, check that the \"water sen\" plug is firmly plugged into the circuit board. d. If the no water light is still on, SEE LAST PAGE FOR TESTER INFORMATION e. If after the above, the machine still will not run, replace the water level sensor January 1997 Page 16

The relay is on the circuit board, if it does not supply power to the liquid line valve, the valve will not open. 1. Check for power at the valve coil, if none: a. Check for power at the liquid line valve relay at the circuit board. If there is power at the relay, but none at the liquid line valve coil, Check for an open wire between the relay and the valve. 2. Check the valve coil. If the coil is open, replace the liquid line valve. 3. Check the auger drive motor centrifugal switch. If, when the drive motor is running, contact 4 (black wire removed) has no power, and all of the above switches have been checked, replace the centrifugal switch, or the drive motor. 4. If the liquid line valve relay on the circuit board has power on the NO contact, but not on the COMcontact, replace the circuit board. January 1997 Page 17

Single System RLREMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: GearmotorTo Remove and Repair the Gearmotor D) After replacing parts as required, (if any)Assembly: reassemble the gearcase. The two smaller gears and the oil should be in the lower case, the output(Assuming that the procedures through removal of gear will be with the cover.

Single System RLCIRCUIT BOARD TESTINGThese procedures require the machine to be connected to the power supply. The voltages of theelectronic circuit are very low, but HIGHER VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN THE UNIT. Do not touchanything but the tester while the unit is being checked out. Make all connections to the circuit board withthe ELECTRICAL POWER OFF.INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING TESTER, (Optional, order part no. A33942-001)(These instructions assume that the unit will not run, and prior investigation of electric power, controls,and mechanical parts indicates that the electronic circuit may be at fault.)Note: All testing is done with the electrical power If the Bin Empty light is ON, wait 10-20 seconds foron, the master switch on. the machine to start, if the machine starts, replace the ice level sensors.1.
