Hoshizaki Freezers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

If the Hoshizaki F-450maf ice machine's reservoir tank has no water, you should first check that the machine is properly connected to a water supply and that the water supply valve is turned on. You should also check that the machine's water filter is clean and not clogged. Additionally, make sure that the float switch is functioning properly and that it is not stuck in the "off" position. If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consult the machine's manual or contact a professional for further assistance.

The switch needs to be set to run and valve to normal position, full ice bin sensor may be stuck to full position, exercise the sensor flap. Post what you tried to remedy the situation for better help ideas. Trouble shooting instruction are included on the machine cover doors.

First what you want to do is to clean it really good and then go from there

Have a look at the side of the evaporator; there is a probe (thermistor) attached to it that tells the control board when to initiate the harvest cycle. make sure it's clean and attached properly and doesn't need replacing. If hitting the float switch initiates the harvest cycle it sounds like you have a blocked/ scaled water tube or switch housing. take off the bottom of the switch assembly (black rubber bit) and clean through to the water chamber. run a cycle of descaler before trying again.

Watch the video. I hope that will help.
