Section F - Ice Maker
On/Off Switch (Figure F5 & 6)
A single-pole, single-throw switch is mounted on
the right side of the housing at the front of the ice
maker. This switch is used to turn the ice maker off.
Unlike the switch on the bail arm the on/off switch
will stop the ice maker as soon as it is pushed,
and it will not allow the ice maker to complete the
revolution.

Wiring

A four-prong plug connects the ice maker wiring to
the cabinet wiring harness. (See Figure F3.) The
ice maker assembly is wired across the line and will
harvest in either the refrigeration or defrost cycles.
A wiring diagram is located inside the front cover of
the ice maker.
Installing Water Supply Line
to Ice Maker
Supply line installation must comply with all
applicable plumbing codes. Refer to the Ice Maker
Installation Instructions in appendix A.
The ¼" tubing, and any other plumbing materials
required, should be obtained locally.
The ice maker should be connected to a frequently
used cold water line to ensure a fresh water supply.
NOTE
A vertical cold water line should be selected for
the water supply. If a vertical line is not available,
a horizontal line may be used, providing the
connection is on the side or top of the pipe, but
not on the bottom. Scale and foreign material in
the pipe could cause stoppage of water flow if the
connection is on the bottom.
Be sure to leak test all connections after the water
supply has been turned on.

Test Cycling Ice Maker

Maker Testing Procedures.
It may be necessary, on occasion, to test-cycle
an ice maker to check its operation. This can be
done on the repair bench or while mounted in the
refrigerator.
If the ice maker is in an operating refrigerator, take
precautions against the formation of condensate
by allowing the cold, metal components to warm
up before removing the front cover. This can be
expedited by cycling the assembly with the cover in
place and the water supply valve closed.
To manually cycle the ice maker, push the on
off switch to the on position then push in harder
against the spring loaded second set of contacts
in the switch and hold in until the hold switch
circuit to the motor is completed. When the motor
starts, all components except the ice maker
thermostat should perform normally. Once the ice
maker completes its cycle, if additional testing is
necessary you can you can push in on the switch
again to start the icemaker into another cycle.
Water Valve Switch – Water
Fill Volume
The amount of water fill is directly proportional to
the length of time terminals "C-NC" of the water fill
switch are closed. Closing occurs when the switch
plunger drops into a cavity formed in the cam.
Different water valves have different flow rates. For
this reason, anytime a water valve is replaced, the
water fill must be checked and the fill switch must
be adjusted if needed.
The correct water fill volume is 80 to 100 cc. To
measure the fill volume, test-cycle the Ice Maker
and collect the water. Measure in a container
calibrated in cubic centimeters (CC) the fill time
is 5.0 seconds.
The fill volume is adjusted by increasing or
decreasing the length of time the water fill switch
remains closed.
To adjust the water fill switch, first determine how
much water is needed. The adjusting screw is
calibrated so that one complete revolution changes
the water fill about 18 cubic centimeters. Turning
the screw clockwise decreases the fill, while turning
counterclockwise increases the fill.
