out of system.
Ice Maker Jumper Tube Replacement
Flex Tray Ice Maker Models
Always use the TORCH GUARD heat shield part
number 5304418872, behind evaporator before
attempting to solder. The excessive heat from
soldering will warp the plastic liner.
This unit has one heat exchanger (Suction Line & Cap
Tube Assembly) enclosed in the insulation between
the liner and the cabinet back. It has a Jumper tube
running from the out let of the ice maker compartment
evaporator to the inlet of main evaporator in the freezer
compartment. Because of this, the original part can
not be removed. There is a service kit to bypass the
internal jumper tube. It will be necessary to run a new
jumper tube down the back of the product and bypass
the internal jumper tube if the jumper tuber has a leak or
is restricted.
Jumper tube Kit Contains:
1- Jumper Tube 6- Screws
1- Filter-Drier
1- Cover
1- Armor Flex 1- Package Permagum
2- Tape 1- Instruction Sheet
