Hi,
An alarm code of 3 beeps
every 3 seconds means that the control board has shutdown on the 60 minute freeze cycle back up timer. The “E” control board has a 60 minute timer that starts at the beginning of the freeze cycle. If the float switch fails to open and start the next harvest within 60 minutes, the board will automatically start the harvest cycle. If this occurs in two consecutive cycles, the control board will shut the unit down on the manual reset, freeze cycle back- up timer. The yellow fault LED marked “60 min.”
Will illuminate. This safety is designed to help prevent a freeze up of the evaporator.

Once you have identified the 60 minute alarm, there are several things to check. Reset the alarm by depressing the white reset button to the right of the fault LED’s. This must be done with the power “ON”. Now check the float switch to see if it is stuck in the up position. A stuck float can occur if scale is present on the reed switch shaft inside the housing. To check it, drain the water reservoir, unplug the black float switch connector (K5) from the control board and check it with an ohm meter for a closed switch (zero ohms). If the float switch is sticking, clean it with ice machine cleaner or replace it as necessary. An inlet water valve which is slowly leaking by during the freeze cycle can cause a 60 minute alarm. If the inlet water valve is stuck wide open, it is unlikely that any ice will form on the evaporator. Check for a slow leak by allowing the unit to cycle into the freeze cycle and disconnecting the hose at the outlet of the water valve. If water leaks by during the freeze cycle, the water valve
diaphragm is likely damaged or the small dia phragm bleed port is clogged with scale. Clean the bleed port or replace the diaphragm or entire water valve as necessary. (I recommend getting a refrigeration tech for this part).

Another possibility is a refrigeration system problem. You should use normal refrigeration diagnosis procedures to check for one of these problems. If the thermostatic expansion valve is not feeding properly or the refrigerant charge is low, the evaporator will not form ice as it should and a long freeze cycle will occur. This could also be the result of the hot gas valve not closing completely during
the freeze cycle or if the compressor valves are weak or inefficient. An inefficient compressor however, will usually show up first on the KM model through a longer than normal harvest cycle. This is because of cooler than normal discharge gas. Use proper refrigeration practices to repair a refrigeration system problem. While these are not the only reasons for a 60 minute
freeze cycle, they are the most common and should be checked to resolve a 3 beep/yellow fault LED alarm.
