Installation Instructions Section 2 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETS Condensers must be mounted horizontally with the fan motor on top. First, cut a 2.5" (6.35 cm) circular hole in the wall or roof for tubing routing. The line set end with the 90° bend will connect to the ice machine. The straight end will connect to the remote condenser. Remote condenser installations consist of vertical and horizontal line sets between the ice machine and the condenser.
Section 2 Installation Instructions CALCULATING REMOTE CONDENSER INSTALLATION DISTANCES Make the following calculations to make sure the line set layout is within specifications. Line Set Length 1. Insert the measured rise into the formula below. Multiply by 1.7 to get the calculated rise. (Example: A condenser located 10 feet above the ice machine has a calculated rise of 17 feet.) The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m). The ice machine compressor must have the proper oil return.
Installation Instructions Section 2 LENGTHENING OR REDUCING LINE SET LENGTHS REMOTE RECEIVER SERVICE VALVE In most cases, by routing the line set properly, shortening will not be necessary. When shortening or lengthening is required, do so before connecting the line set to the ice machine or the remote condenser. This prevents the loss of refrigerant in the ice machine or condenser. The receiver service valve is closed during shipment. Open the valve prior to starting the ice machine.

Electrical System Section 6 Component Specifications and Diagnostics MAIN FUSE BIN SWITCH Function Function The control board fuse stops ice machine operation if electrical components fail causing high amp draw. Movement of the water curtain controls bin switch operation. The bin switch has two main functions: 1. Terminating the harvest cycle and returning the ice machine to the freeze cycle. Specifications The main fuse is 250 Volt, 7 amp.
Section 6 Check Procedure 1. Set the toggle switch to OFF. 2. Watch the bin switch light on the control board. 3. Move the water curtain toward the evaporator. The bin switch must close. The bin switch light “on” indicates the bin switch has closed properly. Move the water curtain away from the evaporator. The bin switch must open. The bin switch light “off” indicates the bin switch has opened properly.
Electrical System Section 6 COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS Determine if the Compressor is Seized The compressor will not start or will trip repeatedly on overload. Check the amp draw while the compressor is trying to start. Check Resistance (Ohm) Values COMPRESSOR DRAWING LOCKED ROTOR NOTE: Compressor windings can have very low ohm values. Use a properly calibrated meter. The two likely causes of this are: Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools.
Section 6 Electrical System PTCR DIAGNOSTICS Compressor Start Sequence What is a PTCR? PTCR’s provide additional starting torque by increasing the current in the auxiliary (start) winding during starting. The PTCR is wired across the run capacitor (in series with the start winding). A PTCR (or Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor) is made from high-purity, semi-conducting ceramics. A PTCR is useful because of its resistance versus temperature characteristic.
Electrical System Section 6 Q-Model Automatic Shut-Off and Restart Troubleshooting PTCR’s When the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest cycle, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water curtain and will hold it open. After the water curtain is held open for 7 seconds, the ice machine shuts off. To assure the PTCR has cooled, the ice machine remains off for 3 minutes before it can automatically restart.
Section 6 Electrical System There are other problems that may cause compressor start-up failure with a good PTCR in a new, properly wired ice machine. • The voltage at the compressor during start-up is too low. Manitowoc ice machines are rated at ±10% of nameplate voltage at compressor start-up. (Ex: An ice machine rated at 208-230 should have a compressor start-up voltage between 187 and 253 volts.) • The compressor discharge and suction pressures are not matched closely enough or equalized.
Electrical System Section 6 ICE/OFF/CLEAN TOGGLE SWITCH CONTROL BOARD RELAYS Function Function The switch is used to place the ice machine in ICE, OFF or CLEAN mode of operation. The control board relays energize and de-energize system components. Specifications Specifications Double-pole, double-throw switch. The switch is connected into a varying low D.C. voltage circuit. Relays are not field replaceable.

Electrical System Section 6 General Inputs Q-Model control boards use a dual voltage transformer. This means only one control board is needed for both 115V and 208-230V use. The control board, along with inputs, controls all electrical components, including the ice machine sequence of operation. Prior to diagnosing, you must understand how the inputs affect the control board operation.
Section 6 Electrical System Ice Thickness Probe (Harvest Initiation) MAXIMUM FREEZE TIME HOW THE PROBE WORKS The control system includes a built-in safety which will automatically cycle the ice machine into harvest after 60 minutes in the freeze cycle. Manitowoc’s electronic sensing circuit does not rely on refrigerant pressure, evaporator temperature, water levels or timers to produce consistent ice formation. As ice forms on the evaporator, water (not ice) contacts the ice thickness probe.
Electrical System Section 6 DIAGNOSING ICE THICKNESS CONTROL CIRCUITRY Ice Machine Does Not Cycle Into Harvest When Water Contacts The Ice Thickness Control Probe Step 1 Bypass the freeze time lock-in feature by moving the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and back to ICE. Wait until the water starts to flow over the evaporator. Step 2 Clip the jumper wire leads to the ice thickness probe and any cabinet ground.
Section 6 Electrical System Ice Machine Cycles Into Harvest Before Water Contact With The Ice Thickness Probe Step 1 Bypass the freeze time lock-in feature by moving the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF and back to ICE. Wait until the water starts to flow over the evaporator, then monitor the harvest light. Step 2 Disconnect the ice thickness probe from the control board at terminal 1C. ICE THICKNESS PROBE CLEAN LIGHT WATER LEVEL LIGHT BIN SWITCH LIGHT HARVEST/SAFETY LIMIT LIGHT SV3011 SV1588 Figure 6-24.
Electrical System Section 6 Water Level Control Circuitry FREEZE CYCLE CIRCUITRY WATER LEVEL PROBE LIGHT Manitowoc’s electronic sensing circuit does not rely on float switches or timers to maintain consistent water level control. During the freeze cycle, the water inlet valve energizes (turns on) and de-energizes (turns off) in conjunction with the water level probe located in the water trough. The water level probe circuit can be monitored by watching the water level light.
Section 6 Electrical System DIAGNOSING FREEZE CYCLE POTABLE WATER LEVEL CONTROL CIRCUITRY Problem: Water Trough Overfilling During The Freeze Cycle Step 2 Wait until the freeze cycle starts (approximately 45 seconds, the freeze cycle starts when the compressor energizes) then connect a jumper from the water level probe to any cabinet ground. Step 1 Start a new freeze sequence by moving the ICE/OFF/CLEAN toggle switch to OFF, then back to ICE.
Electrical System Section 6 Problem: Water Trough Overfilling During The Freeze Cycle (continued) Step 3 Allow ice machine to run. Disconnect the water level probe from control board terminal 1F, and connect a jumper wire from terminal 1F to any cabinet ground. 1 Remember if you are past 6 minutes from starting, the ice machine will go into a freeze cycle water inlet valve safety shut-off mode, and you will be unable to complete this test.
Section 6 Electrical System Problem: Water Will Not Run Into The Sump Trough During The Freeze Cycle Step 1 Verify water is supplied to the ice machine, and then start a new freeze sequence by moving the ICE/ OFF/CLEAN toggle switch to OFF then back to ICE. Step 2 Wait until the freeze cycle starts (approximately 45 seconds, the freeze cycle starts when the compressor energizes), and then refer to chart. Important This restart must be done prior to performing diagnostic procedures.
Electrical System Section 6 Diagnosing An Ice Machine That Will Not Run ! Warning High (line) voltage is applied to the control board (terminals #55 and #56) at all times. Removing control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board. Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Check Verify primary voltage supply to ice machine. Verify the high-pressure cutout is closed. Verify control board fuse is OK. Verify the bin switch functions properly.

Refrigeration System Operational Analysis (Diagnostics) GENERAL When analyzing the refrigeration system, it is important to understand that different refrigeration component malfunctions may cause very similar symptoms. Also, many external factors can make good refrigeration components appear bad. These factors can include improper installation, or water system malfunctions such as hot incoming water supply or water loss.
Section 7 BEFORE BEGINNING SERVICE Ice machines may experience operational problems only during certain times of the day or night. A machine may function properly while it is being serviced, but malfunctions later. Information provided by the user can help the technician start in the right direction, and may be a determining factor in the final diagnosis. Ask these questions before beginning service: • • Refrigeration System 2. Refer to the appropriate 24 Hour Ice Production Chart.
Refrigeration System Section 7 INSTALLATION/VISUAL INSPECTION CHECKLIST Possible Problem Ice machine is not level Improper clearance around top, sides and/or back of ice machine Air-cooled condenser filter is dirty Ice machine is not on an independent electrical circuit Water filtration is plugged (if used) Water drains are not run separately and/or are not vented Remote condenser line set is improperly installed 7-10 Corrective Action Level the ice machine Reinstall according to the Installation Manual
Section 7 Refrigeration System ICE FORMATION PATTERN 2. Extremely Thin at Evaporator Outlet Evaporator ice formation pattern analysis is helpful in ice machine diagnostics. There is no ice, or a considerable lack of ice formation on the top of the evaporator (tubing outlet). Analyzing the ice formation pattern alone cannot diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
Refrigeration System Section 7 3. Extremely Thin at Evaporator Inlet 5. No Ice Formation There is no ice, or a considerable lack of ice formation on the bottom of the evaporator (tubing inlet). Examples: The ice at the top of the evaporator reaches 1/8" to initiate a harvest, but there is no ice formation at all on the bottom of the evaporator. The ice machine operates for an extended period, but there is no ice formation at all on the evaporator.
Section 7 Refrigeration System SAFETY LIMITS Control Board with Orange Label General When a safety limit condition is exceeded for 3 consecutive cycles the control board enters the limit into memory and the ice machine continues to run. Use the following procedures to determine if the control board contains a safety limit indication.
Refrigeration System Section 7 Analyzing Why Safety Limits May Stop the Ice Machine According to the refrigeration industry, a high percentage of compressors fail as a result of external causes. These can include: flooding or starving expansion valves, dirty condensers, water loss to the ice machine, etc. The safety limits protect the ice machine (primarily the compressor) from external failures by stopping ice machine operation before major component damage occurs.
Section 7 Refrigeration System Safety Limit #1 Refer to page 7-13 for control board identification and safety limit operation. Control Board with Black Microprocessor - Freeze Time exceeds 60 minutes for 3 consecutive freeze cycles or Control Board with Orange Label on Microprocessor - Freeze time exceeds 60 minutes for 6 consecutive freeze cycles.
Refrigeration System Section 7 Safety Limit #2 Refer to page 7-13 for control board identification and safety limit operation. Control Board with Black Microprocessor - Harvest time exceeds 3.5 minutes for 3 consecutive harvest cycles. or Control Board with Orange Label on Microprocessor - Harvest time exceeds 3.5 minutes for 500 consecutive harvest cycles.
Section 7 Refrigeration System 3. Perform an actual discharge pressure check. ANALYZING DISCHARGE PRESSURE DURING FREEZE OR HARVEST CYCLE Procedure 1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions: Air temp. entering condenser Air temp. around ice machine Water temp. entering sump trough ______ ______ ______ 2. Refer to Operating Pressure Chart for ice machine being checked. (These charts begin on Page 7-33.
Refrigeration System Section 7 NOTE: Analyze discharge pressure before analyzing suction pressure. High or low discharge pressure may be causing high or low suction pressure. ANALYZING SUCTION PRESSURE DURING FREEZE CYCLE The suction pressure gradually drops throughout the freeze cycle. The actual suction pressure (and drop rate) changes as the air and water temperatures entering the ice machine change. This affects freeze cycle times.
Section 7 Refrigeration System Freeze Cycle Suction Pressure High Checklist Possible Cause Improper installation Discharge pressure Improper refrigerant charge Other Check/Correct See “Installation/Visual Inspection Checklist” on Page 7-10 Discharge pressure is too high, and is affecting low side (See “Freeze Cycle Discharge Pressure High Checklist” on Page 7-16) Overcharged Wrong type of refrigerant Non-Manitowoc components in system H.P.R.
Refrigeration System SINGLE EXPANSION VALVE ICE MACHINES COMPARING EVAPORATOR INLET AND OUTLET TEMPERATURES NOTE: This procedure will not work on the dual expansion valve Q1300 Q1600 and Q1800 ice machines. The temperatures of the suction lines entering and leaving the evaporator alone cannot diagnose an ice machine. However, comparing these temperatures during the freeze cycle, along with using Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, can help diagnose an ice machine malfunction.
Section 7 Refrigeration System HOT GAS VALVE TEMPERATURE CHECK NOTE: This procedure requires checking both hot gas valves on dual expansion valve Q1300 and Q1800 ice machines. General A hot gas valve requires a critical orifice size. This meters the amount of hot gas flowing into the evaporator during the harvest cycle. If the orifice is even slightly too large or too small, long harvest cycles will result.
Refrigeration System Section 7 DISCHARGE LINE TEMPERATURE ANALYSIS Procedure General Connect a temperature probe on the compressor discharge line with-in 6" of the compressor and insulate. Knowing if the discharge line temperature is increasing, decreasing or remaining constant can be an important diagnostic tool. Maximum compressor discharge line temperature on a normally operating ice machine steadily increases throughout the freeze cycle.

Refrigeration System HOW TO USE THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS TABLES General These tables must be used with charts, checklists and other references to eliminate refrigeration components not listed on the tables and external items and problems which can cause good refrigeration components to appear defective. The tables list five different defects that may affect the ice machine’s operation.

Refrigeration System Section 7 Q and J Model Dual Expansion Valve This table must be used with charts, checklists and other references to eliminate refrigeration components not listed on the table and external items and problems, which can cause good refrigeration components to appear defective.
Section 7 Refrigeration System FREEZE CYCLE HARVEST PRESSURE REGULATING (H.P.R.) SYSTEM The H.P.R. system is not used during the freeze cycle. The H.P.R. solenoid is closed (de-energized), preventing refrigerant flow into the H.P.R. valve. Remotes Only GENERAL HARVEST CYCLE The harvest pressure regulating (H.P.R.) system includes: • Harvest pressure regulating solenoid valve (H.P.R. solenoid). This is an electrically operated valve which opens when energized, and closes when deenergized.
Refrigeration System HPR DIAGNOSTICS Steps 1 through 4 can be quickly verified without attaching a manifold gauge set or thermometer. All questions must have a yes answer to continue the diagnostic procedure. 1. Liquid line warm? (Body temperature is normal) If liquid line is warmer or cooler than body temperature, refer to headmaster diagnostics. 2. Ice fill pattern normal? Refer to “Ice Formation Pattern” if ice fill is not normal. 3.
Section 7 Refrigeration System Diagnosing HEADMASTER CONTROL VALVE Manitowoc remote systems require headmaster control valves with special settings. Replace defective headmaster control valves only with “original” Manitowoc replacement parts. Operation The R404A headmaster control valve is non adjustable. At ambient temperatures of approximately 70°F (21.1°C) or above, refrigerant flows through the valve from the condenser to the receiver inlet.
Refrigeration System Section 7 LOW ON CHARGE VERIFICATION FAN CYCLE CONTROL VS. HEADMASTER The remote ice machine requires more refrigerant charge at lower ambient temperatures than at higher temperatures. A low on charge ice machine may function properly during the day, and then malfunction at night. Check this possibility. A fan cycle control cannot be used in place of a headmaster.
Section 7 Refrigeration System Pressure Control Specifications and Diagnostics HIGH PRESSURE CUT-OUT (HPCO) CONTROL FAN CYCLE CONTROL Stops the ice machine if subjected to excessive highside pressure. (Self-Contained Air-Cooled Models Only) Function Cycles the fan motor on and off to maintain proper operating discharge pressure. The fan cycle control closes on an increase, and opens on a decrease in discharge pressure.

Refrigeration System SYSTEM CONTAMINATION CLEAN-UP General This section describes the basic requirements for restoring contaminated systems to reliable service. Important Manitowoc Ice, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the use of contaminated refrigerant. Damage resulting from the use of contaminated refrigerant is the sole responsibility of the servicing company. Section 7 If either condition is found, or if contamination is suspected, use a Total Test Kit from Totaline or a similar diagnostic tool.
Section 7 Refrigeration System Mild System Contamination Cleanup Procedure Severe System Contamination Cleanup Procedure 1. Replace any failed components. 1. Remove the refrigerant charge. 2. If the compressor is good, change the oil. 2. Remove the compressor. 3. Replace the liquid line drier. 3. Disassemble the hot gas solenoid valve. If burnout deposits are found inside the valve, install a rebuild kit, and replace manifold strainer, TXV and harvest pressure regulating valve.
Refrigeration System 10. Follow the normal evacuation procedure, except replace the evacuation step with the following: Important Dry nitrogen is recommended for this procedure. This will prevent CFC release. Section 7 REPLACING PRESSURE CONTROLS WITHOUT REMOVING REFRIGERANT CHARGE This procedure reduces repair time and cost. Use it when any of the following components require replacement, and the refrigeration system is operational and leak-free. • Fan cycle control (air-cooled only) A.

Refrigeration System Section 7 TOTAL SYSTEM REFRIGERANT CHARGES FILTER-DRIERS The filter-driers used on Manitowoc ice machines are manufactured to Manitowoc specifications. The difference between Manitowoc driers and off-theshelf driers is in filtration. Manitowoc driers have dirtretaining filtration, with fiberglass filters on both the inlet and outlet ends. This is very important because ice machines have a back-flushing action which takes place during every harvest cycle.
Section 7 Refrigeration System REFRIGERANT DEFINITIONS Reclaim Recover To reprocess refrigerant to new product specifications (see below) by means which may include distillation. A chemical analysis of the refrigerant is required after processing to be sure that product specifications are met. This term usually implies the use of processes and procedures available only at a reprocessing or manufacturing facility.
Refrigeration System REFRIGERANT RE-USE POLICY Manitowoc recognizes and supports the need for proper handling, re-use, and disposal of, CFC and HCFC refrigerants. Manitowoc service procedures require recapturing refrigerants, not venting them to the atmosphere. It is not necessary, in or out of warranty, to reduce or compromise the quality and reliability of your customers’ products to achieve this. Important Manitowoc Ice, Inc. assumes no responsibility for use of contaminated refrigerant.
Section 7 HFC REFRIGERANT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Manitowoc uses R-404A and R-134A HFC refrigerants with ozone depletion potential (ODP) factors of zero (0.0). R-404A is used in ice machines and reach-in freezers and R-134A is used in reach-in refrigerators. 1. What compressor oil does Manitowoc require for use with HFC refrigerants? Manitowoc products use Polyol Ester (POE) type compressor oil. It is the lubricant of choice among compressor manufacturers. 2.
Refrigeration System 7. Is other special equipment required to service HFC refrigerants? No. Standard refrigeration equipment such as gauges, hoses, recovery systems, vacuum pumps, etc., are generally compatible with HFC refrigerants. Consult your equipment manufacturer for specific recommendations for converting existing equipment to HFC usage. Once designated (and calibrated, if needed) for HFC use, this equipment should be used specifically with HFC refrigerants only. 7-60 Section 7 8.
