Starting A Harvest Cycle - Whirlpool R-106 Training Manual

Before manually initiating a cycle, check the position of the ejector arm. Assuming
the problem is in the icemaker, the position of the ejector arm will give you an indica-
tion of the failed component.
If the ejector blades are still in the home position (9 o'clock) the thermostat is most
likely at fault.
If the ejector blades stopped between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions, the hold switch
is most likely at fault.
An ejector at the 4 o'clock position normally indicates an open heater.
Any position other than the 9 or 4 o'clock positions may indicate motor problems or
broken, stripped or missing parts in the housing.
