User manual SCOTSMAN FME1200R

[. . . ] NME950R & FME1200R INTRODUCTION To the owner or user: The service manual you are reading is intended to provide you, and the maintenance or service technician, with the information needed to install, start up, clean, maintain, and service this ice system. The ice machines covered in this manual are a remote condenser type modular ice system that fits a variety of Scotsman storage bins. They feature: front service for the freezer, gear motor, control box, water reservoir, and bin control; an electronic circuit for monitoring ice and water level; a thermostatic expansion valve; and R-404A as the refrigerant. TABLE OF CONTENTS FOR THE INSTALLER . FOR THE ELECTRICIAN: Fan Relay Kit Phasing (Do After Start Up) FOR THE INSTALLER: Completed Installation . [. . . ] Disconnect electrical power before beginning. ICE LEVEL SENSORS SLIDE LEFT TO REMOVE 1. The bin control uses devices that sense light, therefore they must be kept clean enough so that they can "see". At least twice a year, remove the bin control sensors from the base of the ice chute, and wipe the inside clean, as illustrated. The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the probe should be removed from the reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral build-up. SLIDE UP TO REMOVE RESERVOIR Inspect the assembly, looking for wear 4. Use a vacuum cleaner or coil cleaner if needed. Check and tighten all bolts and screws. ICE SWEEP WATER LEVEL SENSOR ////////////////////////////////////// CAUTION: THE TIP IS MADE OF GLASS /////////////////////////////////////// BREAKER COVER 3. The top bearing in the breaker should also be checked at least two times per year. Check the breaker bearing by: · removing the ice chute cover · unscrewing the ice sweep · removing the water shed · unscrewing the breaker cover (left hand thread) · unscrewing the auger stud December 1995 Page 22 NME950R & FME1200R MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In some areas the water supply to the ice maker will have a great deal of minerals in it, 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 be inspected. 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 and replacement of these parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT. 1. 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. 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. ALLEN SCREWS BREAKER & BEARING & AUGER ASSEMBLY December 1995 Page 23 NME950R & FME1200R SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced STATUS: NOTHING OPERATES A. Check: Voltage to the unit, restore it if there is none. Check: The master switch, switch ON if off. [. . . ] Unscrew the 4 cap screws holding the gear motor to the gear motor plate. Remove the gear motor from the ice maker. A) Remove the cap screws holding the gear motor case halves together and pry the two cases apart. B) To lift off the cover, lift up until you can feel internal contact, then pull the cover towards the output gear end, and then lift the cover (with drive motor attached) up and away from the gear motor case. Charging Procedures Extra care must be taken when recharging this remote system. [. . . ]
