Refrigeration System Diagram During the ice making stage the hot refrigerant gas is pumped out of the compressor to the condenser. The hot gas is cooled by fan forced air after passing through the condenser. The evaporator / ice module is cooled by the refrigerant. Ice is formed in the module after water from the water inlet valve fills the ice mold.
Service Diagnosis Overview WARNING: Only a qualified technician should service this product. Equipment damage, injury or death could result from the improper servicing of this unit. EdgeStar accepts no responsibility or liability for damage to equipment, injury or death that may result from improper service or operation of this product.
Servicing the Ice Maker Adjusting the Water Fill Level Remove the white cover from the front of the ice module to access the fill control screw. The amount of water that fills the ice mold is controlled by the length of time the water valve is open.
Adjusting the Thermostat and Ice Harvest Time The ice harvest control adjusts the temperature at which the ice is harvested from the ice mold. A colder setting results in harder ice, which is slower to melt, but also increases ice production time.
