hello everyone.
i am hoping someone out there with a bit more experience of ice makers might be able to help.
trying to repair a k40 ice machine, that had burnt its cutting grid out, no problem replacing the grid, but noticed when i was running it, the reservoir was empty and it was not filling up when switched on?
first throught was the water valve servo, so replaced this too.
still nothing?
just to make sure pump was working correctly i filled reservoir manually.
pump appears to be working, its spraying water evenly across the plates that form the ice.
refrigeration unit is kicking in, grid is now working, everything from what i can see is working correctly, apart from fact it is not taking in water?
i am now thinking maybe there is a sensor or something i am missing? something that tells the water valve to open? i assume something must tell it when its full and to close?
just cannot work out what from the wiring diagram
any help is appreciated
many thanks in advance
