Check the second and third cube harvest. Ensure that they are the correct size and make adjustments to the Ice Sensors Fingers as Wiring Diagrams necessary. In certain areas where there are extreme water problems it may be necessary to fit a filter or purifying equipment. NOTE. If the water is too soft (demineralized) the Ice Thickness Sensor may not be able to sense the water on its fingers, thereby not switching the unit onto the harvest cycle. In the event of this occurring a safety system bu

The thermostatic expansion valve meters how much liquid refrigerant is to be allowed into the evaporator section of the refrigeration system. 10. Maintenance, Cleaning and Sanitation Instructions. This is determined by the temperature of the TXV sensing bulb, located on the suction line manifold, at the outlet of the evaporator. If the bulb senses a warm suction line, more refrigerant is allowed into the evaporator, (common at the beginning of the freeze cycle) and The Foster Modular Ice Cuber r
