January 1995 Page 18 NME950 & FME1200 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING: Auger In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt about the condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger can be removed so the parts can The auger has sharp edges, handle with care. Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids, but not dissolved solids. ``Soft'' water may not be the complete answer. Check with a water treatment specialist regarding water treatment. For more information on removal of these parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. ALLEN SCREWS BREAKER & BEARING & AUGER ASSEMBLY Electrical shock hazard. Electrical shock can cause personal injury. Disconnect power before beginning to service components. Turn off the water supply. To remove the auger, remove the front and top panels. Push back bail clamp holding ice chute cover to ice chute, and remove cover. Loosen band clamp under ice chute, and remove ice chute from evaporator. Remove 4 allen screws holding breaker to evaporator. Drain the evaporator by lowering and uncapping the evaporator drain hose. After the auger has been removed, allow the auger to dry: if the auger is not bright and shiny, it must be cleaned. Clean the auger and evaporator as required. Reverse to reassemble. January 1995 Page 19 NME950 & FME1200 SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Symptom No ice is made, nothing operates Possible Cause Unit off due to no power Unit off due to master switch in OFF position. Probable Correction Restore Power Switch master switch to ON. Check water supply, filter, strainer, float valve. Check/clean ice level sensors. Unit off due to ice level sensors (photo-electric eyes) blocked. Unit off due to scale on water level sensor. Unit off due to high pressure control open. Auger motor does not turn. Clean water level sensor. [. . . ] Remove hoses from ice machine and replace all caps. January 1995 Page 30 NME950 & FME1200 CIRCUIT BOARD TESTING: These procedures require the machine to be connected to the power supply. The voltages of the electronic circuit are very low, but HIGHER VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN THE UNIT. Do not touch anything but the tester while the unit is being checked out. Make all connections to the circuit board with the ELECTRICAL POWER OFF. [. . . ]
