Removal and Replacement

Inlet Water Valve

1. Remove the left front panel.

2. Shut off the water supply.

3. Push and release the OFF button.

4. Pull the wire harness off the inlet water valve.

5. Remove screws holding the inlet water valve to
the cabinet.

6. Pull the valve away from the cabinet and
disconnect the outlet tube.

7. Unscrew the water valve from the water inlet
tubing. Hold the barbed inlet fitting and rotate the
valve.

8. Reverse to reassemble.

9. Push and release the Freeze button.

10. Replace the front panel.

Purge Valve Timer

The purge valve timer is sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. Be certain to touch a grounded surface
before touching this component. Do the same
when handling the replacement part.

1. Touch a grounded surface.

2. Remove left front panel.

3. Disconnect electrical power.

4. Remove high voltage box cover.

5. Locate timer board at the back of the high
voltage box.

6. Unplug all the wires to the board.

7. Compress each of the four stand-off posts to
release the board from the stand-offs.

8. Remove the board from the unit.

Reverse to reassemble.

Water Pump

1. Disconnect the electrical power.

2. Remove the front panel.

3. Unplug water pump from its electrical connection.

4. Remove 1 plastic bolt and the reservoir cover.

5. Lift water pump up and disconnect outlet tube.

6. Pull float ball from float stem (it is a snap fit). Pull
stem out.

7. Locate water level sensor mounting tabs,
compress together to release sensor from bracket.

8. Remove water pump brackets from pump.

9. Reverse to replace.

10. Replace front panel.

11. Re-connect electrical power.
