    From start up the machine will do an ice making cycle 15 minutes or so even if there is no water in,ie will freeze plate,when ice thickness stat senses its cold enough it engages the hot defrost cyle and supplies the cold water inlet vale which will then fill,you could fill it manually before starting up.Should then cycle normally.

    Wiring diagram is on the back or somewhere on the machine usually.
    Stick a suction gauge on and check the suction line pressure should be 1 bar ish, if its lower needs leak check weigh in new charge.
