3. GEAR MOTOR

After the following hours of operation, check the Gear Motor for excessive noise caused by
increased torque or deterioration of mechanical parts.
Bearing, Gear and other mechanical parts:
Oil seal:
Note: When the output shaft oil seal is exposed to a large amount of water at one time, water
may enter the Gear Case. Always drain the water circuit before removing the Auger
for service.

4. CONDENSER

Check the Condenser once a year, and clean if required by using a brush or vacuum cleaner.
More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the icemaker.

5. AIR FILTER

A plastic mesh Air Filter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the Condenser from
getting clogged. As the Filter gets clogged, the icemaker's performance will be reduced.
Remove and clean the Air Filter at least twice per month:
1) Slide the Air Filter off the Louver.
2) Clean the Air Filter by using a vacuum cleaner.
When severely clogged, use warm water and a
neutral cleaner to wash the Air Filter.
3) Rinse and dry the Air Filter thoroughly, and place it
in position.
