Kitchen aid ice maker kuid508ess1. Compressor goes Into over load


Recommended Posts

I have kitchen aid under the counter ice maker. Kuid508ess1. I have no tech info on this machine. Place in diagnostic mode showed everything as working. Started machine makes ice, good water flow, goes max time in ice mode. Goes Into harvest mode and at the 7 minute mark it throws the overload protector. Changed out evaporator thermister and even place a new board into unit still goes i to overload. Pulled evac, recharged to proper charge. Changed out overload protector cause I had one lying around Still goes to max ice time and long harvest time which will throw overload protector. 

Start up amps 8.2 settles down to 2.34amps low side 5psig high side 100 use 134A i put voltage is good.

Harvest mode overload opens up at 6.8 amps low side 50 with  bypass open 

Overload cools down trys to start pulls 14.7 amps then overload opens. Place second new evaporator thermister in unit place in original location, them moved around to other locations on evaporator same problem.  Ohmed thermister out had 59k ohms before harvest mode begins. After bypass opens and at the 6 amp 7 minute mark thermister read 5k ohms. 

Can't find any tech manuals  it do know the evaporator thermister is supposed to shut compresser down or close bypass to make it go into ice mode. Any and all help and knowledge you guys can pass on Will be greatly appreciated.
