Most likely water inlet valve. When they get stuck open water continuously flows in preventing it from from freezing and therefore the controller thinks it's running and not getting cold enough so it cuts off on refrigeration. It will cut off on water if no water is detected.

Looking at this manual troubleshooting booklet it says if blinks two time service inlet valve.
At my job we have a ice machine similar to this.
When it stops making ice it is the water filters need to be changed. We change filter and it starts making ice again.

Any ideas on what could cause refrigeration light to blink twice on my Scotsman Ice Maker CME656A-32D?

The blinking light on a Scotsman Ice Maker CME656A-32D typically indicates that there is an error code. A blink pattern of two blinks typically indicates a low water pressure or a problem with the water supply. Make sure that the water supply to the ice maker is turned on and that the water pressure is sufficient. You can check the water pressure by using a gauge on the incoming water line. The pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi. If the water pressure is adequate, you may have a problem with the water inlet valve, which is responsible for letting water into the ice maker. If that is the case, you may need to replace the valve.

My scotsman cm universal service controller keeps going and neverr shutting off?

The CM Universal Service Controller (USC) on a Scotsman CM3 30inW Commercial Cubed Ice Maker is designed to monitor and control the various functions of the machine. If the USC is not shutting off, it could be caused by a few different issues:
  1. Power supply: Make sure that the ice maker is properly plugged in and that there is power to the outlet.
  2. Control settings: The control settings may have been set incorrectly. Make sure that the control settings are set correctly and that the machine is in the proper operating mode.
  3. Control switch: The control switch may be faulty, preventing the machine from shutting off. If this is the case, the switch will need to be repaired or replaced.
  4. Thermostat: The thermostat controls the temperature inside the machine, if it's not functioning properly it may cause the machine to never shut off. A faulty thermostat will need to be repaired or replaced.
  5. Control board: The control board may be faulty, preventing the machine from shutting off. If this is the case, the control board will need to be repaired or replaced.
It's best to consult the user manual or to contact a professional technician to diagnose the problem, as the issue could be caused by a number of things and it's important to troubleshoot it correctly. The technician will be able to run a diagnostic test to determine the root cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
