REFRIGERATION SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
A complete understanding of the icemaker and hermetic refrigeration system is necessary before any
adjustments are made. The refrigeration technician must use high and low side pressure readings, water
and air temperatures, plus general conditions of cleanliness to assess the refrigeration system status
when making any adjustments.
All icemaker products are tested and adjusted at the factory prior to shipment where the ambient
temperature ranges from 650F to 900F, depending on the season of the year.
Whenever a new icemaker is initially installed and started-up, it is imperative that the start-up operator
make the following checks and readjustments for local conditions.
PUMPDOWN CYCLE
The Series1400 unit is a split system. The icemaker consists of two gearmotor/evaporator assemblies
and a liquid line solenoid. The condensing unit consists of a compressor, condenser, fan motor and
receiver. The icemaker is designed for indoor use only. The condensing unit is designed for outdoor use.
The two units are connected with a precharged line kit.
The system operates on a pump down cycle. When the bin thermostat senses ice it opens the circuit to
the liquid line solenoid. The liquid line solenoid closes and stops the flow of refrigerant to the evaporators.
This causes the suction pressure to drop. The condensing unit is shut off when the suction pressure
drops below 5 psig. The low-pressure control should be adjusted to open between 0-5 psig and close
between 15-20 psig. Note: there is no electrical connection between the two units.
EXPANSION VALVE
You will find a thermal expansion valve on icemakers, which is used to control the amount of refrigerant
flowing through the evaporator. Improperly installed or defective expansion valves may cause low
production, soft ice, squeaking from evaporator and excessive load inside evaporator.
By using general refrigeration trouble shooting along with the pressure charts, you can easily determine
whether or not the expansion valve is working properly.
NOTE: Units with thermostatic expansion valve, the valve is located on bottom refrigerant line.
Sensing bulb is located on top refrigerant line.
Very high discharge pressure is present in system. Quick disconnects on your gages will minimize
Danger and loss of refrigerant. Comply with federal regulations for reclaiming refrigerant.

WATER LEVEL CONTROL
HOW WATER LEVEL CONTROL WORKS
When water is introduced through the inlet fitting the float rises, the float pushes against a lever that in
turn, forces the poppet assembly against the inlet fitting valve seat that seals the water off. See Figure 1
(page 7). Before the water inlet is sealed, the safety switch is operated. In the event of a water failure the
float would drop down and operate the safety switch to shut off the machine.
If water level control will not shut off and seal at level as indicated, be sure inlet pressure does not exceed
recommended factory operating range.
Under ordinary circumstances adjustment should not be necessary providing it was properly adjusted
when unit was installed or relocated. If however, the control becomes inoperative, repair or replace. See
Start-up Adjustment in the installation manual.
PURPOSE OF WATER LEVEL CONTROL
1.
To automatically maintain proper water level in the evaporator when the unit is running and making
ice.
2.
A safety switch is operated in the event of an interruption in water supply. The switch shuts off the
electrical power to the icemaker and its refrigeration system. Switch will reset as soon as cause of
water failure has been corrected and proper water level in icemaker has again been reached.
3.
The transparent bowl not only provides a visible check of water level, but also is a good guide to the
internal conditions which exist within the icemaker assembly itself. (See cleaning procedure.)
TO REPLACE WATER LEVEL CONTROL
1.
Shut off the water supply. Shut off the main power switch or unplug the ice dispenser from electrical
outlet.
2.
Remove the flexible tubing from bottom of water level control and drain water from water level
control and evaporator.
3.
4.
5.
Remove flexible tubing at bottom of water level bowl connected to the overflow.
Hold water inlet fitting with proper tool to prevent it from rotating when disconnecting the water inlet.
Remove wing nut holding water control to its mounting bracket. Control can be removed by lifting
straight up.
TO REPLACE WATER LEVEL SAFETY SWITCH
1.
2.
3.
Shut off main power switch or unplug the ice dispenser from electrical outlet.
Unplug Molex connector connecting switch to electrical box.
Remove the 2 screws anchoring the water level safety switch to the bottom of the water level control
mounting bracket.

BIN CONTROL
The type of bin control used on all WCC and WCF Models is an electronic control. The control is supplied
with power to terminals X1 and X2. Terminals X3 and X4 are a normally closed switch which open when
the thermostat sensor bulb senses ice. The WCC1401-A/WCF1401-A uses 2 controls, terminals X1 and
X2 are connected in parallel and terminals X3 and X4 are connected in series.
The sensing bulbs are located in a 5/16” stainless steel tube which hangs from the dispense tray covers
down through the center of the drop tube.
To test the switch, start the icemaker and block the outlet tube, about ½ full the icemaker should shut off.
When the tube is cleared the icemaker should restart within 5 min.
The Bin controls are in electrical series with the coil on the antifreeze relay along with the low water
safety.
The controls are held in place inside the electrical box by 4 screws. The control bulbs are in the drop
tubes. They can be removed by pulling the cable located on the top of the dispense tray cover. When
replacing the sensor make sure the bulb is inserted to the bottom of the thermostat well.
GEARMOTOR
The gearmotors are equipped with a start relay and a manual reset overload.
When current is applied, the relay energizes and completes the circuit to the start winding. The motor
reaches a predetermined speed and the relay drops out, disconnecting the start winding. The run
winding remains in the circuit as long as current is applied.
The purpose of the overload is to automatically shut off the motor in the event of a mechanical bind of the
transmission, an overload condition within the evaporator or an electrical malfunction. It does this by
sensing amperage draw. If the motor stalls the start relay would energize and stay energized. The
amperage would surge 5 to 6 times greater than normal draw. In this event the overload would shut off
the transmission in 4 to 8 seconds.
If the motor is subjected to abnormal load, but does not reach stall condition, the overload will react, but
over a greater period of time. The reaction time depends upon the amperage to which it is subjected.
The overloads to each motor are connected in series; if either overload trips both gearmotors and the
liquid line solenoid are shut off.

across the overload, contact #1 and #3. If none,
wait for unit to cool down and try again. If still no
continuity, the overload protector is defective
and should be replaced.
FIGURE 9. OVERLOAD CHECK
COMPRESSOR CHECK
The resistance readings on the windings will be
between 0.25 to 10.00 ohms, a meter capable of
these low readings must be used.
1.
Check between “C” and “R.” Replace the
compressor if there is no continuity as the
run windings are open.
2.
Check between “C” and “S.” Replace the
compressor if there is no continuity as the
start windings are open.
FIGURE 10. COMPRESSOR CHECK
3.
4.
Check between “C” and “R” or “S” and the shell of the compressor. If there is continuity, replace the
compressor as the motor is grounded.
Check between screw terminal on the overload and “C” on the compressor. Check and repair the
lead or connections if there is no continuity.
CAPACITOR CHECK
1.
2.
Check or replace start capacitor, disconnect bleed resistor before checking for shorted capacitor.
Check or replace run capacitor (if supplied) check for shorted capacitor or either terminal grounded
to case.
