Component Replacement

11.1.1

Icemaker PCB Replacement

• The icemaker PCB is fitted to the outside of the power/control module.
• Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
• Remove the power/control module from the unit compartment.
• Using a flat bladed screwdriver, lever the PCB cover from the power/control module.
NOTE: Care should be taken, as too much pressure may cause the clip on the cover to break.
• Remove the RAST connector from the icemaker PCB and remove the PCB.
• Refit in reverse order.

Icemaker Unit Removal

• Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
• Remove all baskets/trays from the freezer.
• Remove left hand side rail supports.
• Remove the clip and insulation pad holding the icemaker sensor to the bottom of the ice tray.
• Remove the sensor from under the icemaker tray.
• Place fingers at the rear of the icemaker and with a brisk downward motion pull the icemaker from the
roof of the freezer.
NOTE: Both front and rear clips should have dislodged. If only the rear clip has dislodged, place fingers in
the front of the icemaker and once again briskly pull the icemaker down.
• Disconnect the icemaker harness.
11.1.3

Refitting Icemaker

• Refit the sensor to the underneath of the icemaker tray.
• Refit the wiring connector.
• Place the harness into the groove on the edge of the body of the icemaker.
• Locate the clips and align the icemaker to the clips.
• With an upward pressure, re-clip the icemaker.
NOTE: If either front or rear clips do not re-clip, further pressure will need to be exercised to re-clip the
icemaker.
11.1.4

Icemaker Temperature Sensor Replacement

• Remove the icemaker (refer to Section 11.1.2).
• The sensor wires are to be cut as close to the sensor as possible. Strip the wires back 10mm (
inch) on the new sensor and on the wiring in the cabinet to allow the wires to be soldered or crimped
together.
• Place heat shrink onto both wires of the sensor.
• Solder the wires, slide the heat shrink over the joints and heat the heat shrink.
11.1.5

Water Valve Replacement

• Ensure the water is turned off at the supply tap.
• Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
• Pull the product away from the wall to access the rear of the product.
• To remove the water tube from the water valve, push the inner part of the clip inwards and hold down
while pulling the tube from the valve. Drain the water (approximately 1½ litres) into a container.
