10. Wash the interior components (cutter grid, exterior of hoses,
and water pan) and the storage bin, door gasket, ice scoop,
and ice scoop holder with mild soap or detergent and warm
water. Rinse in clean water. Then clean the same parts with a
solution of 1 tbs (15 mL) of household bleach in 1 gal. (3.8 L)
warm water. Rinse again thoroughly in clean water.
NOTE: Do not remove hoses. Do not wash plastic parts in
dishwasher. They cannot withstand temperatures above
145°F (63°C).
11. Replace water pan by pushing back on the bottom with one
hand while pushing up and back on the top. Secure the water
pan by replacing both screws.
12. Check the following:
■
Drain cap from the water pan is securely in place. If the
drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan,
and you will have either thin ice or no ice.
■
Hose from water pan is inserted into storage bin drain
opening.
13. Slide the cutter grid back into place and secure it by
replacing the right-hand screw and plastic spacer. Then
tighten the left-hand screw. Reconnect the cutter grid
harness and the ice level sensor harness.
14. Replace the cutter grid cover using the two screws.
15. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
Changing the Light Bulb

2. Open the bin door.
3. Remove the two screws that hold the cutter grid cover in
place. Reach behind the control panel and pull the light bulb
down from the ceiling.
4. Replace with a 12-volt wedge base-type bulb (automotive
#917). Locate the light bulb receptacle in the ceiling behind
the control panel. Align the flat edge of the light bulb with the
receptacle and snap the bulb into place.
5. Replace the cutter grid cover with two screws.
6. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove all ice from storage bin.
3. Shut off the water supply.
4. Remove the two screws in the lower access panel and the
two screws from the base grille area of the front panel

these lines to drain and then reconnect to the valve.
6. Replace lower access panel and screws.

water from the drain line.
For ice makers with a drain pump installed:
■
Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
■
Turn ice maker off and remove all remaining ice from ice
bin.
■
Pour 1 quart (0.95 L) of water into the ice bin near the
drain and let the unit stand for approximately five
minutes. This will allow the water in the bin to drain into
the drain pump so that the pump will remove the
remaining water from the ice bin and the drain pump.
■
Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
9. Before using again, clean the ice maker and storage bin.
10. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: All components of the ice maker are permanently
lubricated at the factory. They should not require any additional
oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.
