this web site from Hoshizaki does not show or indicate any wire for heating. See sequence on page 10. You may want to read thru this as this may help you understand how it works and what you may need to address. Let me know if I can be of any further help.

SOURCE: Hoshizaki ice machine model KM-450MAB water runs

Hoshizaki machines have a water inlet valve that can stick in the open position. This will cause the machine to do silly things. If you can turn the machine off and you can still hear water running, the valve is stuck open. It is an easy fix. Water valve only has 2 wires going to it and 2 water lines. One inlet and one outlet. Just turn off water and kill power at the breaker before doing any work.

Hope this helps and good luck.

SOURCE: Hoshizaki ice machine KM500-MAE not sending water to harvest

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

you can replace the housing only, Check with your local Hoshi supplier for parts. Start there as a new pump is very pricy.

SOURCE: Hoshizaki km-900mah ice maker won't start the freeze process

cycle is, fill cycle for 1 minute first. If there is not water entering the unit when first turned on, look for that issue. Water turned off, water valve not working or some restriction, clogged water filters, etc. That is got to happen first. Don't over look the bin stat being bad. Nothing happens if teh bin stat is bad. It sends voltage to the control board that runs the unit.

SOURCE: I have an older hoshizaki

if the machine is freezing up completely the evap coil could be damaged.
the float valve could stuck or the harvest thermister may not be reading correctly.

COILS FREEZING UP

On Hoshizaki freezers, it has several items that can cause this. Check to see if the heater in the evap are heating up when in defrost. Older machine can force a defrost by just unplug and then plug back in to outlet to do this. There is a "Klixon" type thermostat that disconnects the heaters in case of an overheating condition. These go bad fairly often. Make sure the door closes and seals. Be sure not to do anything that hampers air flow over the evap.

How to reset Hoshizaki ice maker ?

If you just want to reset it because it is making a beeping sound, there is a small white button on the control board. just press it while the power is on. If you want more than that, please supply more info.

Hosizaki ice machne 3 beeps then after i reset it it runs for 7 seconds and shuts off?

the 3 beeps means that the freeze cycle is longer than 60 minutes. This could be because: float switch stuck, water valve leaking water into the sump, low on freon. If not one of those, it is a more technical issue that would require a service tech. Reset button is a small white button on the control board. Press it while the power is on to reset it.

Hoshizaki M# DCM-270BAH-OS runs for days then freezes up evap coil and stops water inlet to evap.

There is a thermostat probe sat on the front of the evaporator to tell the control board when to harvest. Check it is tight in it's holder. Check the condenser is absolutely clean and filters clear. You can adjust the thickness of the cube. set it on the thinnest setting and see if it harvests before freezing solid.

Iam working on a hoshizaki ice maker, turn it on make one batck of ice, after that, my cooper lines on bottom of coils were warm and o n top od the coil were hot,whar could be the problem?

On Hoshi ice maker, if coils are HOT, it is passing hot gas from compressor into the lines. After the defrost of the first cycle, after this cubes are completely cleared from the plates, the "Hot Gas Valve" should close and the freeze cycle should start over. It sounds that the valve is sticking open and not stopping the hot gas from entering. Look there first.
