on the right side of the freezer compartment. The
components that support the ice maker are the wire

was manufactured without an ice maker.

Wire Harness

The ice maker wire harness, see Figure 51, connects
the ice maker to the 120 Vac ice maker power cord.
The assembly is bundled together with plastic ties.
The wire harness runs through the surface of the
cooling unit foam plug. On the upper ice maker end the
harness has a modular plug with a locking tab (see
Figure 51). Each wire on the harness has the
appropriate connector to connect to the ice maker AC
power cord (white AC cord). The four wires making up
the wire harness are:
Black - Line voltage (L) - black wire with female
quick-connect terminal. This conductor is
equipped with a thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is
held onto the ice mold by a spring clip.
White - Neutral (N) - white wire with male quick-
connect terminal. It connects to the AC power
cord neutral wire.
Brown - Water valve line voltage - brown wire
with female quick-connect terminal. It connects to
the water valve solenoid, terminal M.
Green - Ground wire - green wire with lug
terminal. It connects to the refrigerator cabinet
metal plate.
The refrigerator has to be removed from the enclosure
to replace the ice maker wire harness.
NOTE
The ice maker wire harness is not the same as nor
connected to the wire harness that serves the power
board and the optical display assembly, as described
on pages 40 and 41.
