Carefully position the gasket back on the door,
aligning the outer skirt with the edges of the door,
and press the corners to tack them to the
exposed tape. Then, pull the ribbon slowly from
between the tacked corners, pausing to press
(not rub) the gasket into the exposed tape at
about 2-inch intervals. Continue the process
next at the handle side of the door, then at the
hinge side, and last at the bottom of the door,
making sure the outer skirt is evenly aligned with
the edge of the door. Before reinstalling the
door, again press the gasket at 2-inch intervals
to ensure it is sealed to the tape along the top,
sides, and bottom.
ICEMAKER
The icemaker, located in the upper rear of the
freezer compartment, is mounted transversely to
the shelf tracks. It has a thermal cutoff and
produces ice cubes with rounded edges.
To remove the icemaker, first remove the ice bin
from the ice shelf. Then, remove the power cord
cover (on the back of the ice shelf, below the
icemaker) and disconnect the power cord.
Remove the screw that secures the icemaker to
the ice shelf and lift the icemaker off the shelf
tracks.
When reinstalling the icemaker, make sure the
fill tube extension is inserted into the fill cup 1/2”-
3/4” (1.3 cm-1.9 cm) before engaging the
mounting plate on the shelf tracks.
Water Valve
The dual water valve is mounted to a bracket that
is secured to the cabinet, inside the machine compartment, at the right rear corner. A short length of
copper tubing, connected to the valve inlet and extending out of the machine compartment, has a
compression type union to facilitate connecting the water line without removal of the rear access cover.
