Section 7 Refrigeration System
Part No. 80-1100-3 7-15
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.
SAFETY LIMIT NOTES
• Because there are many possible external problems,
do not limit your diagnosis to only the items listed in
this chart.
• A continuous run of 100 harvests automatically
erases the safety limit code.
• The control board will store and indicate only one
safety limit – the last one exceeded.
• If the toggle switch is moved to the OFF position and
then back to the ICE position prior to reaching the
100-harvest point, the last safety limit exceeded will
be indicated.
• If the harvest light did not flash prior to the ice
machine restarting, then the ice machine did not stop
because it exceeded a safety limit.
