Removal and Replacement
Water Pump
The pump provides the force to move the water
from the reservoir to the freezing surface. The
pump does not need oil, but if it becomes noisy,
overheats, or will not pump it should be replaced.
Be certain to confirm electrical faults with a
voltmeter or ohmmeter before replacing the pump.
The pump should be operating whenever the
compressor is.
1. Unplug or disconnect the electrical power.
2. Unplug the pump from its connection.
3. Loosen the two fasteners holding the bracket to
the wall.
4. Pull discharge hose from pump discharge port.
5. Remove pump from ice machine.
6. Remove bracket from pump.
7. Reverse above steps to replace.

The valve water to enter the reservoir during
harvest but not during freeze. The valve may
plug-up from minerals in the water, and may be
cleaned rather than replaced.

2. Unscrew the fitting at the back of the valve, and
pull the water inlet tube out of the valve body.
3. Remove the screws holding the valve to the
bracket.
