freeze with the float switch removed, replace the board. 
Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 0 to 40 minutes depending on model and 
conditions. Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided 
in this manual.
6) 
Pump-Out Cycle (10/20 second pump out) – the compressor remains energized, 
the hot gas valve energizes, the fan motor de-energizes, the pump motor stops for 
 seconds and starts in reverse rotation for 0/0 seconds. (This removes contaminants 
from the water reservoir through the check valve (drain valve) and down the drain and 
allows for a power flush of the float switch.) Check for clear tubing at the check valve 
housing and check the unit drain for water flow. 
Diagnosis: If the pump motor does not 
reverse, check the circuit and capacitor. If water does not pump out, remove the check 
valve (drain valve) housing and check/clean the valve assembly. 
7) 
Normal Harvest Cycle – same as the initial harvest cycle – Return to step 4. 
Note: Unit continues to cycle until bin control is satisfied or power is switched OFF. (The 
pump out cycle can be adjusted to occur every cycle, or every , 5, or 0 cycles. 
The factory default is every 0 cycles.) The unit always restarts at the  minute fill 
cycle.
