Icemaker
To avoid risk of electrical shock severe personal injury or death; disconnect power to unit before servicing, unless
testing requires power. Discharge capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before handling. Wires removed during
disassembly must be placed on the correct terminals to ensure proper grounding and polarization.

Thermal Fuse
A thermal fuse, incorporated into the icemaker wiring
harness, protects the plastic liner from melting if the
icemaker overheats. The thermal fuse is spliced into the
red wire of the icemaker harness. It is a nonresettable
fuse, and it is designed to blow at 170°F (78° C).
Presence of this fuse in the circuit means that a "No Ice"
complaint could be caused by excessive heat. Where
overheating is the problem, replacement of the wiring
harness is a temporary solution.
NOTE: The icemaker should be replaced.

Water Valve
Caution
To avoid risk of property damge; do not overtighten
connection to household water supply. Always test for
leaks after repair or replacement of water valve.
When the solenoid is energized, amount of water allowed
to enter the icemaker mold is determined by two factors:
• Duration of the timing cam that closes the water
switch.
• Water pressure present in the tubes.
Proper ice maker fill is 140 ± 10 cc in 7.5 seconds of
water fill time at an inlet pressure of 20 to 120 PSI (1.4 to
8.2 bar).
Inside the valve, a flow washer acts as a water pressure
regulator. This results in a pressure drop across the valve
of 20 to 120 psi (1.4 to 8.2 bar). The valve incorporates an
80-mesh screen water strainer.
