Ice Dispenser; Water Valve And Water Tank - Electrolux Built-in 42" Service Manual

Ice Dispenser

The water, crushed ice, and cubed ice functions are
controlled by the power control board (PCB).
To select a function, press the appropriate pad on the
dispenser. The LED will light to identify the selection. To
dispense the selected item, depress the dispenser pad
located in the recessed area. With any ice selection, the
duct door motor and cam will open the chute door, and
upon release, delay its closure. A motor and cam replace
the more familiar duct door solenoid. fi lter with the
bypass plug.
When is selected on the ice dispenser control
CUBED
panel, the cube motor behind the ice bin rotates. The
motor cam lifts a linkage arm allowing the ice to
bypass the crusher blades. A motor and cam replace
the ice cube solenoid.
Dispenser Light
The light bulb is a 6-watt 12 VDC bulb
(WR02X10675). Check for 12 VDC at CN03 on
the terminal board, between pin #4 and pin #5,
with the dispenser switch in the closed position.

Water Valve and Water Tank

The water valve is mounted in the left section of the
machine compartment.
The incoming water line is routed under the unit, up the
back of the refrigerator cabinet, into the machine
compartment, through the GWF water filter, and into the
inlet of the water valve.
From the water valve, 2 low-pressure water lines
independently supply water to the icemaker and water
tank.
The icemaker water line is routed from the water valve,
through the machine compartment, and to the icemaker
fill tube. The water tank line is routed from the water
valve, through the back of the machine compartment,
down the back of the cabinet, through the bottom of the
unit, and into the fresh food compartment where it is
attached to the water tank. The water tank holds
approximately 35 oz of water. (4 QT)
The door dispenser supply line is routed from the cold
water tank, through the bottom of the unit, and into the
freezer door.
The dispenser valve (blue coil) delivers fi ltered water
through the water tank to the freezer door dispenser. The
coil has a resistance of approximately 325 ohms.
The icemaker valve (brown coil) delivers filtered water
directly to the icemaker. The coil has a resistance of
approximately 180 ohms.
The dispenser coil receives 120 VAC from CN08,
between pin #2 (when WATER is selected) and CN08,
pin #3 (neutral).
The icemaker coil receives 120 VAC from terminal block
location CN08, between pin #1 (when the icemaker is
calling for fi ll water) and CN08, pin #3 (neutral).
Note: The water fi lter should NOT be installed if
the home has a water fi ltration system in place
(reverse osmosis fi lter system, etc.) Replace the
To replace the water valve:

3 water lines from the water valve.
To replace the chilled water tank:
Note: Some water may leak from the
water supply line and valve when they are
disconnected.
1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.
2. Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws from the chilled
water tank.
3. Cut the water lines leaving enough line to reconnect.
