ICE MAKER OPERATING CYCLES

  • Freeze Cycle

    • Temperature control terminals 2 and 3 are closed.
    • Power to the condenser.
    • Power to the condenser fan.U-Line-UOCR115-S01B-Ice-Makers-Refrigeration-Appliances-FIG-45
  • Harvest-1 Cycle

    • Temperature control terminals 2 and 3 are open – 2 and 1 close.
    • No power to the compressor or condenser fan.
    • If bin arm is down, power goes through bin arm switch to the ice maker motor. If bin arm is up, the ice maker will not harvest.U-Line-UOCR115-S01B-Ice-Makers-Refrigeration-Appliances-FIG-46
  • HARVEST-2 CYCLE

    • Ice maker ejector blades reach approximately 2:00 position and cam depresses the hold switch. Power goes through the hold switch to the ice maker motor and mold heater.
    • Ejector blades stall on ice and ice maker motor pulsates until mold heater warms and ice releases.U-Line-UOCR115-S01B-Ice-Makers-Refrigeration-Appliances-FIG-47
  • WATER FILL CYCLE

    • Ice maker ejector blades reach approximately 10:00 position and cam depresses the water fill switch.
    • Power to the water valve. Ice maker mold fills.U-Line-UOCR115-S01B-Ice-Makers-Refrigeration-Appliances-FIG-48
  • EJECT CYCLE

    • Ejector blades push ice into bucket and stop at 12:00 position.
    • Temperature control terminals 2 and 3 have closed during harvest cycle.
    • Next freeze cycle begins with power to the compressor and condenser fan.
  • TEMPERATURE CONTROL SPECIFICATIONS

    • Double Throw Ice Maker Thermostat Numbers 4548, AR-19-12, 2636, 2690, 2691, 2717, 2783, 2782-S, 2763-S, 2780, 80-26005-02
    • These temperature controls are double throw, single pole controls. The sensing tube is inserted into the ice maker mold and senses mold temperature. After ice is sensed in the mold, the 2-3 contacts open (stopping the compressor) and the 2-1 contacts are closed (starting the ice maker motor). The 2-3 contacts close (2-1 contacts open) before the end of the ice harvest cycle.The hold switch prevents power going back to the compressor. This prepares the control for the next cycle.U-Line-UOCR115-S01B-Ice-Makers-Refrigeration-Appliances-FIG-49
  • LIMIT SWITCH SPECIFICATIONS

    • Normally closed Bi-metal switch
    • Open temperature: 104°F
    • Close temperature: 83°F
      The function of this switch is to open in the event of an overheating condition. This bi-metal thermostat is normally closed and does not initiate the ice harvest cycle. The ice harvest cycle is initiated by a double throw, single pole temperature located remotely from the ice maker assembly.U-Line-

    • The second, third, and five year warranties cover products installed and used for normal residential or designated marine use only.

    • The warranties apply to units operated outside only if designed for outdoor use by model and serial number.

    • U-Line Commercial products are covered by the one year and 5 year limited warranties and are not eligible for the second and third year limited warranties.

    • Replacement water filters, light bulbs, and other consumable parts are not covered by these warranties.

    • The start of U-Line’s obligation is limited to four years after the shipment date from U-Line.

    • In-home instruction on how to use your product is not covered by these warranties.

    • Food, beverage, and medicine loss are not covered by these warranties.

    • If the product is located in an area where U-Line factory-authorized service is not available, you may be responsible for a trip charge or you may be required to bring the product to a U-Line factory authorized service location at your own cost and expense.

    • Units purchased after use as floor displays, and/or certified reconditioned units, are covered by the limited one year warranty only and no coverage is provided for cosmetic defects.

    • Signal issues related to Wi-Fi connectivity are not covered by these warranties.
