The ice level switch utilizes a vertical actuator to
prevent too high of an ice level in the bucket that
would interfere with lower drawer opening or
closing. The horizontal feeler arm attached to the
bottom of the icemaker now acts as a backup in
case the extra ice switch or mechanism fails to
disconnect power to the icemaker with a full bucket
of ice. It is necessary to remove the icemaker cover
and the icemaker bucket cover to remove the ice
level switch. (See
Evaporator
, steps 1-12.)
