small size of ice cube), 9 min(for medium size) or 12 min (for large size ), one ice making process is completed. After this, the ice case will rotate upward, empty the surplus water, at same time, the ice harvest solenoid start to work, it will work for about 20 seconds. Then ice harvest process finish, the ice harvest solenoid stop working. And ice case start to rotate downward again, at same time, ice shovel moves to push ice cube to the ice basket. The ice case is at level position again and start to pour the water again. The second ice making process start again. During these process, the compressor will always work and not stop.
Operation Procedure
1. Open the cover, remove the ice basket and pour water into tank. Keep water level below the level mark. 2. Press Power on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle. 3. Select the size of the ice cube by pressing the Select button. If the room temperature is lower than 60, it is recommended to select the small or medium ice sign button in order to avoid ice cube sticking together. 4. The ice making cycle lasts about 7 to 13 minutes, depending on the size of the ice cube selection. 5. While the ice maker is on, verify water level periodically. If water pump cant inject water, the ice maker will stop automatically, and the Water indicator will be on. Press Power button, fill water up to the level mark and press Power again. Allow the refrigerant liquid inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before restarting. 6. The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full. 7. Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level. If unit isnt in use, drain all water left in the water tank

This is the main parts to make the ice cube. And during the ice-making process, it is the low pressure component; during the ice-harvest process, it is the high pressure component. It is very important that the evaporator must be installed level, otherwise the produced ice cube will be different size, and if more severely, it will obstruct the ice case and the unit will not work. Condenser
The condenser is a high pressure component, it transfers heat power of high pressure, high temperature refrigerant gas coming from compressor to air around it through its outer wall and wing plate. In our ice-maker, it is cooled by the fan. III. Compressor
This compressor belongs to piston type. Compressor is the heart of A/C refrigeration system. Flow or circulation of refrigeration for this system is depending on running of compressor. Model No.: OF789D AZ1335Y-1 for 115V/60Hz
OF1033A for 220~240V/50Hz The motor of the compressor is the PTC starting single phase asynchronous motor with external overload thermal protector. The following diagram shows the electrical connecting way for the compressor:

Overload Protector
IV.
To check the compressor is good or breakdown, remove the PTC startor and overload thermal protector, use the multi-function meter or resistance meter to measure the the resistant of main coil (between M terminal and C terminal) and secondary coil(between S terminal and C terminal), if the resistance is zero or infinite, then the compressor is breakdown. Normal the resistance is about several hundred or ten ohms. And at the normal temperature, the overload protector is not open and the resistance of the PTC startor is several ohms.

This type of the motor of the fan is synchronous motor impedance protected. Model No.: SP100A, P/N: 1123XSL for 110-120Vac/60Hz SP100A, P/N:2123XSL for 220-240Vac/50Hz Pressure Switch (Optional) This is the low pressure protection switch. When the pressure in the cooling system is high than 1.25Mpa, the it will close and the fan motor will start to work to dissipate the heat inside the condenser. And the pressure lows down with the fan working, this low pressure switch will open again. Motor for ice shovel rotation
VII. VIII.
This also is the synchronous type motor with impedance protected. The speed is about 3.5RPM for 50Hz power and 4.1RPM for 60Hz. This motor is to move and rotate the ice case, so the torque is very important. Solenoid Valve It is very simple, you can measure the resistance of the coil to check it is ok or not. Water pump

Refrigerant Filter
This filter is located between the condenser and capillary. Its main function is to eliminate the dust and humid in the cooling system. Purpose is to avoid obstructing of capillary and maintain the good cooling result. X. Transformer Transformer used in this unit belongs to class 2 transformer or isolation transformer, and is thermal fuse protected. Model: JPT44-77 for 115V,60Hz, Primary:110-120Vac, Secondary:10.5V,350mA WJ-41105300A1 for 220-240V/50Hz,60Hz, Primary:220-240V, Secondary:10.5V,350mA

SECTION 4. MAINTENANCE
A. Important Safety
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons or property. Read all instructions before using any appliance. Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord. Connect to properly polarized outlets only. No other appliance should be plugged into the same outlet. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle. Do not run cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord. Keep cord away from traffic areas, and do not submerge in water. We do not recommend the use of an extension cord, as it may overheat and become a risk of
fire. If you must use an extension cord, use No.14 AWG minimum size and rated no less than 1875 watts. Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or making repairs. Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when appliance is used near children. Do not clean your ice maker with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not tip over. If the ice maker is brought in from outside in wintertime, give it a few hours to warm up to room temperature before plugging it in.
Unscrew the screw on the bottom and back of the back panel of the unit, then slide the back panel down. 2). Remove the right and left side panel
Unscrew the screw on the bottom of these two sides panel, then slide it down. After you remove the back panel and side panel, you can see the compressor, pressure protection switch, condenser fan, solenoid valve, micro switch, synchronous motor for rotation of ice case, condenser, drier filter, and control box. 3). Remove the cover of the mail control box.
These figure shows the cover is removed. After removing the cover of the main control box, you can check the main control is working good or not. You can measure the output of each electrical parts. If the main controls output is normal, then the problem is at the electrical parts itself. 4). Remove the top cover Unscrew the underneath screw of right and left side of the top cover.
After removing the top cover, you can check the water detecting parts, the stainless steel tube and stainless piece on the water out showed in above right figure is ok or not.
SECTION 5. Troubleshooting
A. Normal Example
PROBLEM Water indicator is on. Ice indicator is on. Water and Ice indicator are both flash.
POSSIBLE CAUSE Lack of Water. There is too much ice. Ice shovel can not move.
SOLUTION Stop the ice maker, fill water, and then restart it. Remove ice from ice basket. Check if the ice is blocking the ice shovel, otherwise, consult a certified technician. Stop the ice maker, and restart it when the ice blocks melt. Select the small ice button. Change the water in the inner Tank. Temperature of water is better set between 45-90 . Please run the ice maker below 90 and pour colder water into tank. Verify by a qualified technician. Verify by a qualified technician.
The ice cycle is too long. Ice cubes stick together. Water temperature in inner tank is too low. Ambient temperature or water temperature in inner tank is too high. Refrigerant liquid leakage. Pipe in the cooling system is blocked.
Possible Cause
Maybe the stainless steel tube and the stainless piece on the water outlet is shorted. So the controller cant find there is no water in the unit. Maybe the two pin of water detect plug on the PCB is shorted
Solution
Open the cover of the unit, check it and make sure that the up water inlet pipe does not contact with the stainless steel piece underneath of top cover. Check the pcb.
There are enough water in the water tank, but the indicator of add water lit on and the unit stop working.
Maybe the lead of the water detecting is broken. Maybe plug on the PCB is broken. Maybe the water pump is breakdown.
Check the lead, and change a new one. Check it. Check it and change to a new one.
Maybe the water filter on the bottom of the water tank is blocked. Maybe somewhere of water flowing way obstructed. During one ice-making process, some ice cube are very small, some ice-cube are normal the is
Remove the water filter and clean it, the reinstall back. Check it, substance. remove the obstruct
Maybe the ice case is not level If the ice case is level, maybe the micro switch is installed incorrectly. May the unit is too hot.
Open the top cover, adjust the ice case to level position. Remove the left side panel, check the micro switch position. Check the fan motor is work or not. Dont let the condenser too hot, otherwise the cooling will not work normal. Change another motor. Remove obstruct. It is too low, normally people will not let the unit work to produce the ice cube. If you want so, move the unit to a little high temperature environment. Remove the ice cube, wait for some minutes to let the unit restart again.
Maybe the synchronous motor is breakdown. Maybe something obstruct the ice case.
There is no enough ice cube in the ice basket, but the indicator of ice full lit on.
Maybe the ice cube touch the sensor occasionally when the ice case push the ice cube into the ice basket.
