Heater Replacement Instructions:
Step 1
Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
Remove the icemaker assembly to expose ice
spout (refer to Section 11.1.2).
The icemaker heater can just be seen beneath the
spout (arrowed).
Step 2
Using long-nosed pliers, grip the end of the heater
and pull forwards. The heater is taped to the
spout, so may require a little force before it will
come loose.
Step 3
Pull the heater out of its pocket to expose the pink
harness. There is surplus harness.
Step 4
Cut the faulty heater from the harness, but make
sure to allow sufficient wire on the cabinet side to
splice in the new heater.
Check the resistance of the heater to ensure this is
the faulty part, not the harness.
Step 5
Use two of the 3M Insulation Displacement
terminals to splice the replacement heater onto the
harness. There is no polarity to check.
Ensure that the wires are fully inserted into the
terminals before squeezing the connection closed.
