MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
In some areas the water supply to the icemaker
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.
1. To remove the auger, remove the front and top
panels.
2. Move bail clamp holding ice chute cover to ice
