Normal Ice Cube Melted Out ice Cube
Definition of a harvest problem; At the end of a 3.5
minute harvest cycle the slab of ice is still contacting the
evaporator. The slab of ice may or may not be removable
by hand.
Harvest problems can be split into two symptoms.
• Symptom 3 - Normal sheet of cubes at the end of
the harvest cycle. Ice is difficult to remove from the
evaporator by hand. Once removed the back of the
cubes are square and show no signs of melting. This
indicates a refrigeration problem. The source of the
problem could be in the freeze or harvest cycle. Use
the appropriate flow chart (in Troubleshooting) to
determine the cause of the problem.
• Symptom 4 - Melted sheet of cubes at the end of
the harvest cycle. Ice can be removed rather easily
by hand. The back of the cubes are misshapen and
melted. This indicates something is preventing the ice
slab from releasing. Follow the appropriate flow chart
(in Troubleshooting) to determine the cause of the
problem. A manual cleaning procedure must always
be performed when this problem is encountered.
