Water Distributors
You may look through the plastic freezer cover to inspect the water distributors if the view is clear.
For a closer inspection you should stop the unit, remove the nuts and retaining ring sections and lift
off the top cover. Make sure the two orifices in the side of each distributor are open, the vent tubes
are in place, and a distributor and vent tube assembly is installed firmly in each tube.
To remove the water distributors for cleaning:
1.
Grip the top of the distributor body (not at the vent tube) with adjustable pliers.
2.
Hold and twist the distributor while pulling upward.
3.
Lift the distributor out of the hole.
To install the distributors:
1.
Insert one in each tube hole and seat firmly by using a short piece of pipe or conduit.
2.
Slide the pipe or conduit down over the vent tube and gently tap the distributor in place.
3.
Do not allow the distributor to be recessed below the top of the tube sheet.
To replace the cover:
1.
Replace water distributor box cover gasket.
2.
Install the cover over the bolt studs.
3.
Install the four (4) cover retaining rings sections and nuts.
4.
Tighten the wing nuts firmly to prevent foreign materials from entering the water box.
Note: The freezer cover and gasket are not intended to hold the pressure of the circulating water
in the event of a freeze up. Therefore, every effort should be made to prevent the Tube-Ice
from
freezing solid (with no hole).

The production of opaque ice can indicate that the water in the water tank contains a
concentrated amount of solids or salts. See Troubleshooting, “Poor Ice Quality”.
