2a. Removal and Replacement Extruding Head
1) Remove the cutter/agitator by turning it counter-clockwise, then lift the drip ring out of
the storage bin.
2) Remove the seal bolts, then lift the extruding head out of the evaporator.
3) Place the new extruding head on the auger. Next, secure the extruding head with new
seal bolts and tighten to 11.1 ft-lb/15 N·m. NOTICE! Seal bolts must be replaced once
removed because seal material is one-time use only. If new seal bolts do not have
preapplied threadlocker, apply Loctite 243 or equivalent threadlocker to seal bolt
threads.
4) Replace the drip ring, cutter/agitator, and storage bin top cover in their correct positions.
5) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position, then replace the panels in their correct
positions. On the push-button model, reconnect the push-button switch wire connectors.
6) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the
"ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
2b. Removal and Replacement of Auger
1) Remove the cutter/agitator by turning it counter-clockwise, then lift the drip ring out of
the storage bin.
2) Remove the seal bolts, then screw the cutter/agitator back on and use it to lift the auger
and extruding head out of the evaporator. Remove the extruding head and upper part
of the mechanical seal from the auger and place them on the new auger. NOTICE! To
help prevent water leaks, be careful not to damage the surfaces of the O-ring or
mechanical seal.
3) Place the new auger assembly back in the evaporator with the upper part of the
mechanical seal and extruding head attached. Next, secure the extruding head with
new seal bolts and tighten to 11.1 ft-lb/15 N·m. NOTICE! Seal bolts must be replaced
once removed because seal material is one-time use only. If new seal bolts do
not have preapplied threadlocker, apply Loctite 243 or equivalent threadlocker to
seal bolt threads.
4) Replace the drip ring, cutter/agitator, and storage bin top cover in their correct positions.
5) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position, then replace the panels in their correct
positions. On the push-button model, reconnect the push-button switch wire connectors.
6) Plug the appliance back into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the
"ON" position to start the automatic icemaking process.
