shining. Sometimes an auger will appear clean
when wet, but after it is dry it will be seen to be
stained. Scrub the auger with ice machine cleaner
and hot water.
WARNING
Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with
extreme care, keep out of the reach of children.
2. The water seal area. Because the auger has
been removed, the water seal will have to be
replaced. Remove the water seal top half from the
auger, and inspect the auger for minerals clean as
