630460050SER
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. 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 page 3.
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. Remove flexible tubing at bottom of water level bowl connected to the overflow.
4. Hold water inlet fitting with proper tool to prevent it from rotating when disconnecting the water inlet.
5. 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. Shut off main power switch or unplug the ice dispenser from electrical outlet.
2. Unplug Molex connector connecting switch to electrical box.
3. Remove the 2 screws anchoring the water level safety switch to the bottom of the water level control mounting
bracket.
ICE LEVEL CONTROL
The ice level control assembly is secured to the top of the ice storage container cover. The cover is secured to
the storage container with four screws. The level control switch is operated by a plate assembly located beneath
the diaphragm. When the plate assembly is down due to lack of ice in storage container, electrical impulse is
sent to compressor, starting the ice making cycle. As ice level increases in storage container, the plate
assembly is pushed up. When storage container is full, it deactivate the switch, stopping the compressor and ice
making cycle. The operating positions of the switch is fixed, no adjustments are necessary. If switch
replacement becomes necessary, simply disconnect cable at connector, remove wires from switch.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS
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 65_F to 90_F, 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.
EXPANSION VALVE
You will find a thermal expansion valve on Wilshire ice makers, 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.
ADJUSTMENT AND TROUBLESHOOTING
When troubleshooting the expansion valve, you must;
1. Be sure you have adequate water flowing into the evaporator, a clean and properly ventilated condenser, and
the system is properly charged and free of any restrictions. Also be sure compressor is operating properly.
2. Take reservoir water temperature and air temperature from condenser inlet and determine at what pressure
unit should be running. On machines equipped with thermostatic valve there is NO adjustment. If correct
pressure cannot be obtained, be sure system has time to stabilize, 10–15 minutes.
3. Be sure sensing bulb is located at outlet side of evaporator about 3–4 inches away from evaporator and be
sure to insulate well and clamp tightly to tubing. If system pressures are still not adequate, take a second water
and air temperature reading and go over other parts of the system for possible problems. If proper charge is
questionable evacuate and recharge to nameplate and leak check. If valve still malfunctions replace valve.
Use general refrigeration system practices when replacing and recharging unit. After new valve is in place, go
through previous monitored adjustments and troubleshooting to be sure valve is functioning properly.
NOTE: On water cooled units adjust condenser modulating valve before troubleshooting expansion
valve.
CAUTION: 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.

NOTE: The thermostatic expansion valve is non–adjustable on all models
CONDENSER MODULATING VALVE (Water Cooled Only)
The reason for using a water modulating valve is to supply the correct amount of water to the condenser to
maintain the proper operating pressure in the refrigeration system high side. The flow of water through the valve
is increased as the high side pressure rises and decreases as high side pressure lowers.
FIGURE 4. ADJUSTMENT SCREW
To calibrate the amount of water flow with the refrigeration system high side pressure, turn adjustment screw
located on end of valve opposite of bellows See Figure 4. Turn screw counterclockwise to raise opening point.
Opening point of valve should be set to maintain proper operating pressure in refrigeration system high side.
Refer to Pressure Chart on Page 10. Closing point of valve should be set low enough to close valve during
compressor stand by periods.
NOTE: Cold water will absorb more heat faster than warm water. The water flow will therefore
automatically increase as inlet temperature increases.

11 630460050SER
CONDENSER MODULATING VALVE REMOVAL
1. Disconnect power to unit, then shut off water supply to condenser and reclaim refrigerant from system.
2. Remove inlet water line from Condenser modulating Valve. Also remove tube from refrigerant high side line.
3. Remove Condenser Modulating Valve and bracket from unit.
4. Remove valve from bracket.
5. Replace Condenser Modulating Valve by reversing Steps 2 thru 4. Then pull system into vacuum.
6. Recharge unit with refrigerant per nameplate.
7. Turn power and water On to unit.
8. With unit running adjust modulating valve to proper setting.
9. Go through a complete system check.
GEAR MOTOR
The gear motor is 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 to 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 an 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 overload, through the safety circuit, also shuts off the compressor.
Refer to Troubleshooting Guide.

TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should service internal components or electrical wiring.
TROUBLESHOOTING GEAR MOTORS
Basically, Gear motor problems can be narrowed down to three areas of checkout.
THE GEARMOTOR WILL NOT RUN
1. No voltage to the transmission terminals –check external circuit.
2. Low voltage –check supply.
3. Problems in the gear motor electrical circuit. See Figure 5
THE GEARMOTOR STARTS BUTS TRIPS REPEATEDLY ON THE
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR:
1. Voltage –high or low voltage can cause the overload to trip.
2. High Gear motor amperage draw, see Specification Chart for ratings and Troubleshooting Guide.
FIGURE 5. OUTPUT SHAFT
THE MOTOR RUNS BUT OUTPUT SHAFT DOES NOT ROTATE:
1. Replace defective gear motor.
CAUTION: Be sure unit is disconnected from the power source. Disconnect the
transmission cable.

13 630460050SER
OVERLOAD CHECK:
2. Allow motor to cool and reset overload if necessary.
3. Remove motor end bell and stator, if necessary.
4. Check terminals 1 and 3 on overload. No continuity replace overload. Use a volt–ohm meter. See Figures 5
and 6.
MOTOR CHECK:
The resistance readings on the windings will be between 5 to 25 ohms. A meter capable of these low readings
must be used. The Start Relay cover must be removed. NOTE: Gear motor and related components can be
checked from Pin Connector. See Figures 5 and 6.
If no continuity on start or run winding test, replace stator. If continuity on grounded motor test, replace stator.
INSTALLATION AND SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT (See Figure 6)
1. Place shaft seal locator seat over gear motor output shaft, embossed side down, and push down until shaft
seal seat rests flush on top of gear motor.
2. Place rubber coated ceramic seal (important: ceramic face up) over output shaft and push down until seal rests
on top of the shaft seal seat. (Lubricate rubber on ceramic seal with [#06195] rubber lubricant.)
3. Place shaft seal with carbon face down(spring up) over output shaft and push (gently) downward until seal
rests on carbon face of the output shaft seal.
4. Push down on the washer compressing the spring on the output shaft seal. While holding the seals (down) in
place slide the E–ring into the groove on the output shaft.

3. Remove panels.
4. Unplug Dispense Motor and Ice Level Switch.
5. Remove four screws holding dispense cover in place.
6. Remove dispense cover assembly.
7. Use an open end wrench on auger nut connected to bearing and turn and turn counterclockwise to remove
assembly.
8. Remove worn bearings. Replace with new bearings and then reinstall assembly.
NOTE: If auger turns with nut, remove cover on top of gear motor stator and hold rotor while loosening nut.
9. Reconnect power to icemaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING COMPRESSOR
Basically the compressor problems can be narrowed down to three areas of checkout–
1. THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN
A. No voltage to the compressor terminals –check circuit.
B. Low voltage –below 90% of nameplate rated voltage.
C. Problems in the compressor electrical circuit. See Electrical Checkout instructions.
2. THE COMPRESSOR STARTS BUT TRIPS REPEATEDLY ON THE OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
A. Check for proper fan operation and clean condenser.
B. Check the compressor suction and discharge pressures.
C. Voltage –The voltage should be within 10% of the rated nameplate voltage.
D. High compressor amperage draw, it should never exceed 120% of the rated nameplate amperage.
See Electrical Checkout Instructions.
3. THE COMPRESSOR RUNS BUT WILL NOT REFRIGERATE
A. Check the compressor suction and discharge pressures. See Chart on Page 10.

ELECTRICAL CHECKOUT
FIGURE 10. ELECTRICAL BOX
1. Be sure the unit is disconnected from the power source. Remove the compressor electrical box cover. Check
for obvious damage and loose wires.
2. Disconnect the fan motor leads. Since capacitors store energy, short the capacitor with a screwdriver. This will
prevent shocks.
3. Disconnect the compressor terminal wires.
OVERLOAD CHECK –(See Figure 5)
4. Using a volt–ohm meter check the continuity across the overload, contacts #1 & #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.
COMPRESSOR CHECK –(See Figure 10)
The resistance readings on the windings will be between 0.25 and 10.00 ohms, a meter capable of these low
readings must be used.
5. Check between ”C”& ”R.”Replace compressor if there is no continuity as the run windings are open.
6. Check between ”C”& ”S.”Replace the compressor if there is no continuity as the start windings are open.
7. Check between ”C”& ”R”, or ”S”and shell of the compressor. If there is continuity replace
the compressor as the motor is grounded.
8. 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
9. Check or replace start capacitor, disconnect bleed resistor before checking for shorted capacitor.
10. Check or replace run capacitor (if supplied) check or shorted capacitor or either terminal grounded to case.

SAFETY CONTROLS
FIGURE 11. GEAR MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD
Your Icemaker unit has several safety and control devices incorporated into its design.
WARNING: None of the below described devices should ever be ”bypassed”to allow the
unit to function.
The safety and control system shut–off devices are:
1. Low water shut off reed switch located in icemaker float assembly. (Automatic reset type).
2. Gear motor thermal overload, manual reset type (red button on motor). See Figure 11.
3. Compressor thermal overload, automatic reset type.
4. Main service switch located on top of the control box.
5. Hopper shut–off.
6. High pressure cut out (water cooled only).
WARNING: Do not reset gear motor overload if ice is present in the evaporator.

GUIDE TO GOOD ICE
CUSTOMER COMMENTS CHECK ICEMAKER LOCATION
CONDITIONS FIRST CHECK ICEMAKER
It runs but the ice is too soft.
The icemaker is not producing en-
ought ice.
The ice is too wet.
Under compression
Proper air flow for condensing
system
Location too close to high
temp units such as coffee
urns, deepfryers, grills etc.
Supply water conditions.
Water too warm (above 90_F)
Water artificially softened
above 262 PPM sodium
chloride.
Normal water supply too high.
Use gages for checking suction
and head pressures. See manual
for correct reading and conditions.
Check water level for proper adjust-
ment and restrictions. See Manual.
Check evaporator assembly for
worn parts, bearings, scored evap-
orator and, bad expansion valve,
etc.
It makes too much noise.
(with this comment the ice is usual-
ly extremely hard and larger thant
normal).
Over Compression
Check to see if nois objection
objections is normal fan and
air flow noise.
Water supply conditions.
Water too cold (below 50_F)
(Possibly running from
Pre-cooler).
Obstructions partially blocking ice
exit from top of evaporator.
Check fan and fan shroud.
Check for loose parts and screws
rattling.
Check evaporator assembly for
worn parts, bearings, scored evap-
orator and auger, bad expansion
valve etc.
