thoroughly, then maintain accordingly.

•
Listen for the user’s depiction about the icemaker during a test run. Try to understand what is the defect
and how did the user operate the icemaker before calling for service.

Is the running sound is normal?

Check the pipe of cooling system, especially the welding points. If there is some oil, the gas is leaking out
so that no ice making or less ice is produced.

If the cycle of the ice making and harvest is normal?
•
Check the water system, especially the connections. If there is some water leaking?

•
Check if the icemaker is installed according to the user manual.

Touch the hot gas pipe (with the evaporation weld), feeling the temperature. At the ice making stage it
should feel cool. At the ice harvest stage it should feel hot.
•
Touch the capillary tube (the drier nearby), does it feel lukewarm?
