Safety Limit #2Harvest time exceeds 3.5 minutes for 6Consecutive harvest cycles.Possible Cause ChecklistImproper installation• Refer to “Installation and Visual InspectionChecklist” on page 104.Water System• Water area (evaporator) dirty• Dirty/defective water dump valve• Vent tube not installed on water outlet drain• Water freezing behind evaporator• Plastic extrusions and gaskets not securelymounted to the evaporator• Low water pressure (20 psig min.)• Loss of water from sump area• Clogged water distribution tube• Dirty/defective float valve• Defective water pumpElectrical system• Ice thickness probe out of adjustment• Ice thickness probe dirty• Bin switch defective• Premature harvestRefrigeration system• Non-Manitowoc components• Improper refrigerant charge• Defective hot gas valve• TXV flooding (check bulb mounting)• Defective fan cycling control114 Part Number 80-01111-9 7/10
ANALYZING DISCHARGE PRESSUREQ130/Q170/Q210/Q270 Ice Machines Only1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions:Air temp. entering condenser ______Air temp. around ice machine ______Water temp. entering sump trough ______2. Refer to “Cycle Times, 24 Hr. Ice Production andRefrigerant Pressure Charts” on page 203 for icemachine being checked.Use the operating conditions determined in step 1 tofind the published normal discharge pressures.Freeze Cycle ______Harvest Cycle ______3. Perform an actual discharge pressure check.FreezeCycle PSIGHarvestCycle PSIGBeginning ofCycle __________ __________Middle ofCycle __________ __________End ofCycle __________ __________4. Compare the actual discharge pressure (step 3)with the published discharge pressure (step 2).The discharge pressure is normal when the actualpressure falls within the published pressure range forthe ice machine’s operating conditions. It is normal forthe discharge pressure to be higher at the beginning ofthe freeze cycle (when load is greatest), then dropthrough out the freeze cycle.Part Number 80-01111-9 7/10 115
