SECTION G - ICE & WATER DISPENSER
ICE DISPENSER CONTAINER & RAIL ASSEMBLY
The Ice Dispenser Container slides into the Rail
Assembly mounted directly below the Ice Maker. Ice is
ejected from the container by an Ice Auger connected
to the Solenoid Assembly, and dispensed at the bottom
front of the container where it enters through a Gate on
the Crusher Housing. The Gate is opened and closed
by a Control Rod that fits in the Actuator of the Solenoid
Assembly. The ice is then directed into an ice chute
mounted on the interior of the freezer door. The Ice
Container must be properly placed on the rail assembly
to ensure proper dispensing. The container should be
slid on top of the rails on the Rail Assembly up against
the Motor Cover, with the Rotation Stop and Ice Auger
protruding through the holes in the back of the Ice
Container.
Dispenser Auger Motor & Solenoid Assembly
(Solenoid Assembly not on all models)
The dispenser Auger Motor, Solenoid Assembly, Light
Socket and Bulb (40 Watt appliance bulb), and wiring
disconnects are mounted on the back on the Rail
Assembly Motor Cover. The motor and solenoid
mounting screws are located on the front of the Motor
Cover.

To Remove Auger Motor:

1. Disconnect refrigerator from electrical supply.
2. Slide Ice Container forward and off of Rail
Assembly. Remove two srews holding Rail
Assembly to Evaporator Cover.
3. Lift up on Rail Assembly and pull forward,
freeing it from mounting brackets.
4. Disconnect Molex connector located at back of
Rail Assembly and pull Rail Assembly free.
5. Remove screw securing green ground wire to
motor housing on back of Motor Cover.
(See Figure G1)
6. Disconnect two leads hooked to Auger Motor
windings (Leads are purple and white - See
Figure G1).
7. Rotate Drive Bar and Nut (located on front of
Motor Cover) in counterclockwise position until
it comes free of Auger Motor shaft.
(See Figure G2)
8. Remove four motor mounting screws and pull
Auger Motor free from Motor Cover.
9. Replace assembly in reverse order.

To Test Auger Motor:

1. Read ohmic value of motor windings using
Multimeter on resistence scale. (Put test leads
on terminals where purple and white wires
were disconnected from motor in Step 6 of
procedure "To Remove Auger Motor").
2. Resistence reading should be low ohms. If you
get anything else, replace motor.
