Refrigerant System; Water Supply - Dometic RM3604 Service Manual

7H. REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
The ice maker uses 134A refrigerant in its sealed
system. Frequent starting and stopping of the compres-
sor can be a symptom of low refrigerant level in the
system.
NOTE: The Clean Air Act of 1990 set guidelines in
regard to recapturing or disposition of refrigerants.
Check with the local authorities for proper handling of
evacuation of refrigerants.
Evacuation and recharge of the sealed refrigerant
system must only be done by a technician trained in the
procedure, and equipped with the necessary items.
The correct amount of 134A refrigerant is listed on the
data plate of the appliance. The system is a critically
charged unit. It must be charged with an exact weighted
amount of refrigerant.
8H. WATER SUPPLY
To operate properly, the water pressure in the water
supply line must be between 15 lbs. PSI and 100 lbs.
PSI.
Lower water pressure, water turned off, or obstructions
or air in the water line can cause low or no ice produc-
tion.
First check to see that the water supply is fully turned
on. Visually check the line for kinks, etc. which might
obstruct the flow of water.
To remove trapped air, loosen the connection at the
solenoid water valve of the appliance. Ensure that
pressurized water is reaching this point, and bleed off
any air in the line. Retighten the connection, making sure
there are no leaks.
