20 Most Recent Scotsman SCN60PA-1SU Brilliance Automatic Ice Machine with Drain Pump Questions & Answers

The float system in a Scotsman SCN60 ice maker is designed to prevent the machine from overfilling with water. The float is a buoyant device that rides on top of the water in the ice maker's reservoir. When the water level reaches a certain point, the float will activate a switch that stops the flow of water into the machine. To fix the float system on a Scotsman SCN60 ice maker, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Unplug the ice maker from the power source.
2. Locate the float system, which is typically located near the bottom of the ice maker's reservoir.
3. Inspect the float and the switch for any signs of damage or wear. The float should move freely up and down and the switch should activate smoothly.
4. Clean the float and the switch with a damp cloth.
5. Make sure that the float is not stuck and that the switch is properly adjusted.
6. Check the water level in the reservoir and make sure that it is not too high.
7. Plug the ice maker back in and test the float system by adding water to the reservoir.
8. If the float system is still not working correctly, it may be necessary to replace the float or the switch.

If you are not familiar with electrical appliances or if you are unsure of how to fix the float system, it is highly recommended to call a qualified technician to diagnose the issue and fix it.

Here's a Tech Service Manual for what it's worth.... https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1616142/Scotsman-Cme306.html

To check if the ice maker in your Scotsman SCCP30MA is functioning properly, you can try the following steps:

1. Ensure that the ice maker's water supply is turned on and that the water line is not clogged or frozen.
2. Check the thermostat settings to ensure that the freezer is at the proper temperature.
3. Inspect the water inlet valve to make sure it is not clogged or defective.
4. Check the ice maker's control arm to make sure it is in the correct position and not blocked.
5. Inspect the ice maker's ejector blades to ensure they are not clogged or damaged.
6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, the problem may be with the ice maker's control module or motor, which would require professional repair or replacement.

It's also important to check your machine's manual, as it may have additional troubleshooting steps specific to your model.

That’s great.

relay or motor /actuator that dumps ice

You posted this in the computer section.. this doesn't sound like a computer problem, and I can't find anything on this machine you're talking about.

how old is it? when was the last time u had pm done? have a qualified hvac/refrig tec come do a pm and you will know. they will check voltages/amperages, pressures, valves timers etc. trust me, this is your only answer (unless you have it in a location that encloses it in a 100 degree room without ventilation. get proper pm service done.

Yes.

problem was not the universal controller. The bin sensors are dirty and scaled up and gives the same indication that bin is full. find the sensors and clean the scale off and unit should start working again. Save the card, you will sooner or later probablly need it.

I do not have enough of your water diagnostic code, but the normal cause is the dual temperatur probe, if the sensor that is inserted just downstream of the water pump is bad and doesnot sense the temperature change as the water cools the unit senses this as a water pump problem and stops the freeze cycle but shutting down and giving a water code. PS I use to know a guy on the USS George Bancroft before 1980 named DJ White. If you were this guy I still have your ship's plaque if you want it. Joe Abbey

No, they come as an assembly.

The sensor build limestone residue during operation and needs to be cleaned off. The bin sensors are typically located on either side of the freeze platens and can be removed to clean. Turn machine off and unplug. Reach in past the water trough and freeze platen and you will see the transmiter and receiver plugged into the side walls. Gentlely work sensor loose and work sensor wiring out hole until you can get to sensors. Clean the two sensor with a clean cloth and with vinegar until sensers are clean. Reinstall, and plug back in and start unit. Bin sensor light should be out and should start.

If the water pump is not working, or working intermittenly, it is the first thing I would replace. Often causes for water pump failure is bearing/bushing failure and excessive limeston buildup. As for as the refrigeration error, there is a dual probe sensor that inputs temperature into the control card for the discharge temperature of the compressor and the water pump discharge temperature. You can check to see if each of these device are function with a ohmmeter and see if the resistance is 10k - 15k ohms. If either of these do not check out, it needs replaced. Next see if the condenser is dirty, excessive freeze times can cause refrigeration error due to excessively long freeze time (freeze times >60 minutes). If dirty, clean coil until you can see light through the coils. During the operation, check to see if the fan runs continously during freeze cycle. If it starts and stops or just stops, fan motor needs replaced. Any thing more will require an ice machine tech to troubleshoot with his instruments. Hope this helps a little.

You need a new water solenoid operated supply valve.

If you have a continuous flow during operation you need to replace the supply water solenoid valve. These valve are available at most cc dickson supply houses or through your local refrigeration tech. They will need you model number.

The machine will try to harvest 3 times before it shuts the machine down. Is the ice thick enough to open the curtain door? if the curtain dose not open the magnet switch then the machine dose not know it has harvested the ice and will keep trying to harvest. Is the ice coming off the evaporator plate during harvest or is it hung on the plate? if hanging on the plate then system needs to be cleaned. is the harvest assist plunger working?

what code is it giving you
