SOURCE: harvest cycle on ice machines
My ice machine Hoshizaki km-500 mah is cycling to fast. Causing poor production of ice it's real small and it doesn't produce enough ice aswell. Wha seems to be the problem.

I would not change the pump. If it runs for 3-5 minutes and stops, it has to be a control. The control board runs the freeze cycle for the first 5 minutes. This prevent "Short Cycling" of the freeze cycle. The board looks at the float after the first 5 minutes for the proper water level but should not effect the pump. If the pump does not run in the wash mode, check out the "Power/ Wash" switch. I would start there before I go spending hundreds on pump motor or control board. You may be able to get by on a $20 fix! Do this and get back to me. We will get it going.
Good Luck

if you are getting 5 min freeze cycles the first place to look is the Check valve this is the white triangular housing right above your pump motor it has three stainless screws take this out there is a spring and a seat clean the seat off and then stretch the spring lightly not too much replace and see if this solves the problem.

A compressor can go bad in many different ways and doesn't have to trip breakers or blow fuses. I was in the appliance repair business for over 40 years.

Hi,
I am sorry to hear regarding the trouble.
This is a common problem on this model and unfortunately, there is nothing you could do other than unplugging the unit for few minutes, say 15 minutes and then turning it ON. This would usually reset the error code. If the problem still remains, then it is either bad thermal sensor or whole digital controller.
If you wish to repair, revert and i would be glad to provide few more inputs to the diagnosis.
I wish i could have a better solution.
Let me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
