Removal And Replacement
Ice Breaker and Auger Removal
Note: When the unit is installed under the counter,
there is not enough room to remove the auger
unless the evaporator is dismounted from the
gearmotor or the ice machine is pulled out from
under the counter.
1. Remove the hood, door and ice storage bin.
2. Remove stainless steel cover plate.
3. Remove cover from reservoir, and block the
float or shut off the water supply.
4. Locate evaporator drain and drain the
evaporator/reservoir.
5. Remove O-ring holding insulation halves
together at the top of the evaporator.
6. Remove insulation halves from the top of the
evaporator.
7. Remove two screws from the back side of the
evaporator.
8. Pull up on cap to remove.
9. Pull up on breaker pull-ring to remove the ice
breaker assembly, auger, and the top portion of
the water seal.
The bearings
may be
replaced or
the ice
breaker and
bearings may
be replaced
as an
assembly.
Water Seal Installation
Inspect the water seal in it’s package. Do no use if
mating surfaces are scratched or cracked.
1. Remove auger, unbolt evaporator from adaptor
stand. Drive out old bottom bearing and water seal
from the top down.
2. Remove the old rotating half of the water seal
from the auger and clean the auger at the seal
mounting area.
3. Apply Scotsman part number 19-0529-01 food
grade sealant to the auger shoulder before
pushing on the water seal. Place just enough
sealant onto the shoulder of the auger, so that
when the water seal is placed on the auger, the
gap between the auger shoulder and the water
seal is completely filled with the sealant.
4. Clean the inside of the evaporator at the bottom
bearing and water seal mounting area. Lubricate
the outside edge of the stationary seal with water.
5. Carefully push the stationary part of the water
seal up into the bottom of the evaporator. It must
go in straight and must not be pushed in beyond
1/4" past the bottom of the evaporator.
6. Install a new bottom bearing, push it into the
evaporator under the new water seal. It must be
pushed in straight, but do not push it in past 1/8"
from the bottom of the evaporator tube.
7. Mount the adaptor stand to the bottom of the
evaporator. Hand tighten the three cap screws
until the stand flange is tight against the bottom of
the evaporator. Hand tighten the three cap screws
until the stand flange is tight against the bottom
bearing. Then, tighten the screws in a rotating
pattern to insure proper alignment.
8. The top bearing should also be changed at this
time. Be sure to mount the top breaker/bearing
assembly onto the auger before installing the
auger into the evaporator tube.
9. Lower the auger into the evaporator, twist it to
engage the splines of the coupling. Secure the
breaker and bearing to the evaporator tube with
the two screws removed in step 1 of ‘‘Ice Breaker
and Auger Removal’’. Test the unit.
