Hoshizaki ice machine troubleshooting - 7 beep alarm

In this video I diagnose two different hoshizaki ice machines that were not making ice. One machine was off on a two beep alarm and the other was off on a seven beep alarm.
The Hoshizaki ice machine that was beeping seven times was receiving high voltage. I plugged the power cord into a different outlet and then found a bad water pump.
The hoshizaki ice machine that was beeping two times worked after resetting the control board. I changed the water filter but this didn’t seem to fix the slow water fill. The customer will need to change the way water is being fed to the machine.

👍💪❄️🇺🇸 great troubleshooting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I started a new job n we do a lot of ice machine work. U r so helpful cause I’m still learning ice machines. Thanks 411 👍💪

Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend

You’re welcome. I tried to have a nice one. Now it’s Monday.

Do you buy oem pumps for hoshi? They are pretty pricey

[@IceMachine411]

I buy all oem parts. Yes it’s more expensive but usually that means better quality. I’d make an exception if the right situation was to arise.

So i have a cuber that is doing 7 beeps and it appears the outlet has the same issue yours did where its suddenly pushing 220.. however when i plug the machine into a different outlet with verified 110, Istill get the beeping.. will not reset unless i turn the switch off, hold the reset and toggle to ice. It will start the cycle then but only for a few seconds then goes back to 7 beeps. Not sure what senses voltage but im guessing its in the board? Thoughts?

[@IceMachine411]

I’d call Hoshizaki tech support. Www.hoshizakiamerica.com. Sounds like a possible control board issue but I can’t diagnose it with out being in front of the machine. Best of luck and let us all know what you find.

[@ufcpubg1964]

That 280 volts probably messed up alot of the electrical components. Would not be surprised if other issues arise

[@IceMachine411]

You’re probably right. It took out the pump for sure. I was kinda surprised that the machine came on at all considering the high voltage.

[@ufcpubg1964]

@@IceMachine411 yup. Electricity does some funny things

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

maybe checking the pump capacitor,just to make sure,thanks for sharing.

[@IceMachine411]

This is true! Definitely going to do that.

[@dmiestercommkitchentech3043]

There is no capacitor for pump motor it is only on the compressor😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

@@dmiestercommkitchentech3043 It is in the J box,5.5 uf and it uses it to reverse the pump and dump the minerals.

[@dmiestercommkitchentech3043]

I am so sorry I forgot about that little black plastic box that they call a capacitor until you reminded me I just went thru Hoshizaki factory training and I don't recall them mentioning the capacitor for the pump motor that they use to reverse the pump by changing the phase wave of the motor again I sorry.

This is one of those AH HA moments. Thank you

What type of business is this ? Weird setup for so many machines on dispensers next to each other

[@IceMachine411]

Package delivery. Lots of trucks. Probably still too many machines.
