Hoshizaki Ice Machine Help
The Hoshizaki Ice machine model I have is KM-420MAJ. It is only 3 years old and have giving me all sorts of freezing problems.
I replaced the float switch, descaled and sanitized the machine with hoshizaki scale away and bleach, took apart the machine to get rid of the lime scales. It makes ice for 2 days and on the morning of the third day, I see this. There is also tons of water leaking outside the machine.
The tech that came in messed with factory settings with S4 dip switch being all off, so i changed it back to factory with S4-7, S4-9, and S9-10 being on. They also made S5-1 and S5-2 on while keeping the rest off so i reverted it back to factory settings with S5-5 On and the rest off.
For safety as my machine kept freezing, I changed the S4-2, S4-3, S4-4, and S4-5 to ON.
I initially thought something was wrong with the hot gas, but the copper pipe does get hot. However whats wierd is the first cycle is 32-34 min for freezing and 4 minute harvest while subsequent cycles are all 28 min freezing and 10 minute harvest. It does take a long time for the machine to create ice and ice could be very thin.
I've tried all sort of fix but I am out of ideas.
Edit: There also used to be alarm triggered that need me to reset it from the board, but now it doesnt do that either
