TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Eskimo Ice Installation Manual - Self-Contained System
14 L-2448A ENGLISH
AUGER MOTOR AND GEARBOX
The auger motor and gearbox are permanently lubricated and need no maintenance unless leakage or contamination has
occurred.
COMPRESSOR
The compressor has no user-serviceable parts, and is lubricated constantly during operation.
REFRIGERANT GAS
The refrigerant included in the system is adequate for the life of the system and should not need routine or seasonal charging. If
the need exists for routine charging, have your dealer look for a refrigerant leak that needs repair.
WATER RESERVOIR
Every 3 months clean and flush the water reservoir to keep ice clean and clear.
FEEDWATER FILTER AND Y STRAINER
Change the filter at least twice per year, or every 1500 gallons, whichever comes first. The correct filter helps prevent clogging
of the needle valve and scale buildup within the evaporator chamber. Occasionally check the Y strainer and clean away any
debris.
WINTERIZING THE SYSTEM
Close the seacock and remove the inlet hose from the condensing unit. Allow all water to drain from the system. Loosen screws
on the pump head to allow water to drain from the pump. Cutoff feedwater supply, and drain at the auger unit. Remove water
from the water reservoir inside the auger unit. You may also add non-toxic antifreeze to the water reservoir.
On the EI250D, use a shop wet-vac to remove the water from the evaporator through the ice discharge spout tube, or remove
the water tank assembly from the spout and drain it.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save time and expense. This list contains common occurrences that are not a
result of defective workmanship or materials. If you still need service after trying these procedures, call you local dealer, or the

PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Unit does not operate at all. 1. Power switch in the “Off” position. Press power switch to turn the unit on.
2. Check for tripped breaker or blown fuses.
3. Significantly low voltage to unit.
4. Misconnected or loose plugs or wiring.
5. Ice level is high enough. Move ice around box.
High-pressure fault.
(HPF)
1. Check seawater system for clogs or faulty pump.
2. Faulty pump relay trigger at relay station (if pump is used for more than one unit). Replace
trigger.
Low-pressure fault.
(LPF)
1. Low refrigerant charge. Have a certified technician check the pressure.
2. Improperly set Constant Pressure Valve. Set per instructions in “Setting the CPV” on page 13. If
under warranty, call for authorization before adjusting CPV, otherwise warranty will be voided.
Ice-clog fault.
(SPT)
1. Check for obstruction at the ice discharge in the ice storage bin.
2. Check for frozen ice-delivery hose.
3. Check routing for dips or kinks in the ice-delivery hose.
4. Check for auger motor failure.
