7) Replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed.
Note: Be sure to use new seal bolts. See "Seal Bolt Removal and Installation
Instructions" above.
8) Replace the top and side panels in their correct positions.
9) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
10) Plug the unit into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the "ON" position
to start the automatic icemaking process.
11) Replace the front panel in its correct position.
5. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator
• Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
• Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant
flow.
• When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
1) Drain the water from the evaporator.
a) Remove the front panel, then move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
b) Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position.
c) Move the power switch to the "ON" position and allow the water to drain from the
evaporator.
d) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the top and side panels.
3) Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container.
4) Remove the insulation strap, spout insulation, and spout.
5) Disconnect the water hoses.
6) Remove the extruding head seal bolts. Using the cutter, lift out the auger assembly.
7) Remove the insulation and the expansion valve bulb on the suction line.
8) Disconnect the inlet and outlet tubing.
9) Remove the socket head cap screws and split lock washers securing the evaporator to
the lower housing.
10) Lift off the evaporator.
11) Inspect the mechanical seal and O-ring prior to installing the new evaporator. The
mechanical seal consists of two parts. One moves along with the auger, and the other
is fixed on the lower housing. If the contact surfaces of these two parts are worn,
cracked, or scratched, the mechanical seal may cause water leaks and should be
replaced. Instructions for removing the mechanical seal and lower housing are located
later in this procedure.
