CLEANING
In some installations the water supply to the
icemaker will be so concentrated with dissolved
minerals, (such as calcium carbonate) that as ice
is made, the evaporator and auger become
coated with the minerals, requiring a more frequent
cleaning than twice per year. If in doubt about the
condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger
can be removed so the parts can be inspected.
Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids,
but not dissolved solids. "Soft" water may not be
the complete answer. Check with a water
treatment specialist regarding water treatment.
Switch off electrical power, and shut off the
water suplly.
For more information on removal of these
parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT.
1. To remove the auger, remove front and top
panel. If top panel cannot be removed, or if there is
less than 6" clearance over the top of the machine,
the gearmotor/evaporator may be slid out for
service access. See Removal And Replacement.
2. Remove 3 hex studs holding ice chute cover to
ice chute, and remove cover.
3. Unscrew and remove ice sweep.
4. Loosen band clamp under ice chute, and
remove ice chute from evaporator.
5. Remove 4 allen head screws holding breaker to
evaporator.
6. Pull up on breaker to remove auger.
Allow the auger to dry, the stainless steel of the
auger and evaporator must be clean and bright.
Clean the auger and evaporator as required. DO
NOT HONE THE EVAPORATOR.
7. Replace the water seal.
8. Reverse to reassemble.
