User information
How the dispenser works
Follett’s 12 series automatic-load ice and water dispensers are equipped with Follett’s 400 lb (181kg)/day ice
machine. In the continuous icemaking process, water freezes to the inside wall of the evaporator. A rotating
stainless steel auger carries the ice to the top of the evaporator where it is compressed and extruded through
an outlet port. The ice is then pushed through a tube to the storage hopper. When the hopper is full, a bin
thermostat opens and shuts the ice machine off. When the dispense mechanism is activated, a dispense motor
is turned on, causing the wheel to turn. This moves ice to the dispense chute where it drops by gravity into the
container held below the chute.
10 12CI400A • 12HI400A
Cleaning/descaling and sanitizing
Periodic cleaning/descaling and sanitizing of Follett’s ice and water dispenser and ice machine system
is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. The recommended cleaning
procedures that follow should be performed at least as frequently as recommended and more often if
environmental conditions dictate.
Cleaning of the condenser can usually be performed by facility personnel. Cleaning/descaling and sanitizing of
the ice machine system should be performed by your facility’s trained maintenance staff or a Follett authorized
service agent. Regardless of who performs the cleaning, it is the operator’s responsibility to see that this
cleaning is performed according to the schedule below. Service problems resulting from lack of preventive
maintenance will not be covered under the Follett warranty.
Weekly
CAUTION!
§§ Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers or sharp objects to clean any part of the dispenser.
Monthly
CAUTION!
§§ Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers or sharp objects to clean any part of the dispenser.
12CI400A • 12HI400A 11
Semi-Annually (more often if conditions dictate)
§§ A cleaning/descaling and sanitizing procedure should always include both the ice machine and dispenser; ice
machine should be cleaned and sanitized first, followed by the dispenser.
§§ Icemaking system can be cleaned/descaled in place.

Service
Important preliminary information
Follett’s ice machine consists of four distinct functional systems.
§§ Refrigeration system
§§ Water system
§§ Harvesting system
§§ Electrical control system
These four systems work together to accomplish the production and harvesting of ice. A problem in any one of
these system areas will result in improper operation of the entire ice production cycle. When troubleshooting the
ice machine, it is important to analyze the entire system operation to determine which system is not functioning
properly, then pinpoint the component within that system that is malfunctioning. Determine what corrective
action must be taken before making any adjustments or replacing any components.
Note: When performing electrical service, always use a meter to determine whether or not components being
serviced are energized.

How the unit works — models with SensorSAFE infrared dispensing
Models with SensorSAFE infrared dispensing provide “touchless” ice and water dispensing. When a container is placed within the actuation zone below the ice or water
chute, an invisible, randomly-generated infrared signal is emitted, reflected off the container and detected by the sensor. The sensor then sends a signal to the control board
to activate the appropriate components to dispense ice or water. LEDs on the board indicate when the board is receiving a signal from the sensors. A safety, shut-off feature
automatically shuts off dispensing after one minute of continuous activation. Dispensing can be restarted by moving the container away and then returning it to the actuation
zone. Dispensing can be temporarily suspended by depressing and releasing the clean switch, located under the left side of the top front cover. Depressing and releasing the
button a second time will return the dispenser to normal operating state. If the clean switch is not depressed a second time, the dispenser will automatically resume normal
dispense operation (CLN LED goes out) after two minutes. An LED on the control board will light to indicate that the dispensing has been suspended by activation of the clean
switch.

Normal operation – Stage 2
The water sensor verifies water in the float reservoir. The water OK LED (WTR) comes on. At the same time,
the gearmotor, compressor and condenser fan motor come on, lighting the drive LED (DR) and compressor
LED (C). The high initial current draw of the compressor run winding closes the contacts of the current relay
energizing the start winding through the run capacitor. The gearmotor is also started through a current style
relay (or start capacitor) that is pulled in by the initial high current draw of the run winding. The PWR, B-E and
WTR LED remain on.

Once the ice level control opens, the B-E LED goes out. After a 10 second delay the compressor LED (C),
compressor and fan motor go off. (Should the ice level control not remain open for 10 seconds, the ice
machine will continue to run.) The gearmotor continues to run and the DR LED remains lighted for 60 seconds.
The purpose of this function is to drive the remaining ice out of the evaporator and to boil off any refrigerant
remaining in the evaporator. The bin timer LED (BT) comes on, starting the twenty minute off cycle time delay.

Diagnostic sequence – Stage 10
If the water level in the float reservoir drops to an unacceptable level, the WTR LED goes out, shutting the
ice machine off. Also, the BT LED comes on, preventing the ice machine from restarting for twenty minutes. If
water is restored, the WTR LED comes back on and flashes to alert the technician that water to ice machine
has been lost. The ice machine restarts at the end of the 20 minute time delay. The flashing WTR LED can be
cleared by pressing the reset button.

Ice capacity test
Ice machine production capacity can only be determined by weighing ice produced in a specific time period.
1. Remove top panel and hopper lid of unit.
2. Weigh and record weight of container used to catch ice.
3. Run ice machine for at least 15 minutes.
4. Catch ice for 15 or 20 minutes.
5. Weigh harvested ice and record total weight.
6. Subtract weight of container from total weight.
7. Convert fractions of pounds to decimal equivalents (Ex. 6 lbs 8 oz = 6.5 lbs).
8. Calculate production using following formula:
1440 min. x wt. of ice produced
= Production capacity/24 hr. period
Total test time in minutes
9. Calculated amount per 24 hours should be checked against rated capacity for same ambient and
water temperatures in Ice Production Table (see page 23).

(ice dispensing activated), WTR (water dispensing activated).
Terminals: LI (incoming power, hot), L2 (neutral terminals), WTR (power terminal for water solenoid), WM (power
terminal for wheelmotor), CLN (terminals for clean cycle switch).
Note: SOL terminal not used in 12 series dispensers.
Lens/sensor troubleshooting
1. Turn dispenser power switch off and remove slash panel.
2. Disconnect wires from WTR and WM terminals on board.
3. Gently remove sensor/mounting block from splash panel.
4. Inspect lens and sensor, clean if necessary.
5. Restore dispenser power and test sensor by passing hand in front of sensor.
6. If LED on board turns on, sensor is operational. Re-assemble dispenser.
