3-19 WATER VALVE DISASSEMBLY METHOD

1) Turn off the water. Then separate the water line from the

valve.

3-20 FAN AND FAN MOTOR DISASSEMBLY

METHOD

1) Using a short screwdriver, loosen one SCREW in DRAIN

PIPE ASSEMBLY and one connected to the MOTOR
COVER.

2) Separate the Mechanical Cover and Valve Screw.

3) Separate the housing and pull out the valve.

4) Befrore disconnecting the water lines, place a towel

under the water valve to catch any water that may come
out. Pull out the clip and press the collet to separte the
water line from the valve.

Mechanical Cover

Housing

MOTOR COVER

2) Pull and separate the FAN ASSEMBLY and MOTOR

turning counterclockwise based on the MOTOR SHAFT.

FAN ASSEMBLY

MOTOR

The assembly is in the reverse order of the disassembly
and take special care for the following details.
1. Be careful not to bend the tube during assembly.
2. Press the WATER DISPENSER button until water pours

out and check for leakage in the CONNECTOR TUBE (It
differs by the water pressure but usually takes about 2
minutes until water pours out.)
