ICE MAKER OPERATION

The refrigerator must be allowed to precool properly before starting the ice maker. The refrigerator has to
be connected to 120 volts AC before the ice maker can operate. The water line manual shutoff valve must
be open. To start making ice, move the ice level bail arm to DOWN position.
When the ice maker thermostat senses the preset temperature for ejection of the ice cubes, the fingers will
start to rotate - dumping any ice cubes and filling the mold with water.
When the storage container is full of ice, the ice level bail arm can not return to the DOWN position. This
will stop further production of ice until the container is emptied and the bail arm is returned to the down
position.
The absorption system will keep the compartment at the proper temperature for storage of ice. Ice
making is accelerated if the thermostat is set to the coldest position. It is a good idea to do this a few
hours before you anticipate a need for ice.
IF THE ICE MAKER WAS CLEANED AND DRAINED, NO ICE CUBES WILL BE DUMPED
NOTE:
INTO THE STORAGE CONTAINER DURING THE FIRST CYCLE.
The first few cycles may have small cubes due to air trapped in the water lines. The first container of ice
tubes should be dumped if the water system has been winterized or not used for several weeks.

ICE MAKER COMPONENTS

MOLD HEATER

The mold heater uses 165 watts to thaw the ice free from the mold.
It is wired in series with the thermostat which also acts as a safety
device. You should obtain a reading of approximately 80 ohms. If
the heater is found to be defective, the manufacturer recommends
replacement of the entire ice making unit for proper operation.

ICE EJECTOR

The ice ejector blades sweep the ice from the mold cavities during the ejection cycle.
The drive end of the ejector is "D" shaped for positive coupling. The bearings at
both ends are lubricated with silicone grease If the ejector blades are frozen into
the ice, defrost the ice maker and manually cycle the ice making unit,
making sure the ejector stops at the right location.
