Mounting The Ice Maker - Whirlpool ECKMF94 - Automatic Ice Maker Installation Manual

Mounting the ice maker
Refer to the side diagram for the following
step.
1. Look at the ice maker's fill cup and note
that the rear of the cup has a "U" shaped
groove (either of the sides may also be
grooved). Use your fingers, (or a pair of
pliers, if it is easier), and remove only the
rear "knock-out" from the cup. Bend the
area back and forth inside the groove until it
breaks free. The fill tube will fit through this
cutout when you install the ice maker.
Remove knockout
Removing the knockout
Refer to the side diagram for the following
steps.
1. Remove and discard the blank connector
from the wiring harness. To remove it, lift
the locking arm on the side of the blank
connector so it is over the tab of the wiring
harness connector, and pull the blank
connector off.
2. Insert the end of a small-bladed screwdriver
under the edges of each of the three ice
maker mounting hole plugs in the side of
the freezer liner, and pry them out of their
holes. You can discard the plugs.
3.
For
Top/Bottom
Freezers Only:
Partially
install two %" hex-head sheet-metal screws
into the two top mounting holes (shown in
the diagram) of the freezer liner. You will
hang the ice maker over these two screws
later, so make sure that they protrude out
far enough.
4. For Side-By-Side Models Only:
Refer to
DETAIL A and mount the two mounting
clips (from the ice maker kit) to the top
mounting holes of the freezer liner with two
S'hex-head sheet-metal screws. Make
sure that both clips hang straight down and
then tighten the screws.
