Freeze Sequence
3. Prechill
The liquid line solenoid is energized for 30 seconds
prior to water flow. This allows the refrigeration system
to start up and prechill the evaporator. The water fill
valve remains energized until the water level sensor is
satisfied.
4. Freeze
The water pump restarts after the 30-second prechill.
An even flow of water is directed across the
evaporator and into each cube cell, where it freezes.
The water fill valve will cycle on one more time to refill
the water trough as needed. When sufficient ice has
formed, the water flow (not the ice) contacts the ice
thickness probe. After approximately 10 seconds of
continual water contact, the Harvest sequence is
initiated. The ice machine cannot initiate a Harvest
sequence until a 6-minute freeze lock has been
surpassed.
