Auger Maintenance
In some areas the water supply to the ice maker
will have a great deal of minerals in it, and that will
result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated
with these minerals, requiring a more frequent
removal than twice per year. If in doubt about the
condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger
can be removed so the parts can be inspected.
Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids,
but not dissolved solids. "Soft" water may not be
the complete answer. Check with a water
treatment specialist regarding water treatment
For more information on removal and
replacement of these parts, see REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT.
