CHECKING THE AUGER MOTOR

To check voltages* at the motor for crushed
or cubed ice operation:
1. Open the freezer door and remove the ice
bucket from the door.
2. Tape or block the freezer door switch
closed.
NOTE: When you are instructed to make a
reading at the motor connector, press the tips
of the red and black test leads into the indi-
cated harness connector slots so they touch
the bare metal wire connectors (see the pho-
tos at the top of the right column). Reach
around the front of the door and press the ice
dispenser lever to activate the dispenser
switch.
* Voltage readings may vary, depending on the supply
voltage, and the type of test equipment being used.
