1. The bin control uses devices that sense light,
therefore they must be kept clean enough so that
they can "see". At least twice a year, remove the
bin control sensors from the base of the ice chute,
and wipe the inside clean, as illustrated.
2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe
located in the water reservoir.  At least twice a
year, the probe should be removed from the
reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral
build-up.

3. The top bearing in the breaker should also be
checked at least 

two times per year

.

Check the breaker bearing by:

••

removing the ice chute cover

••

unscrewing the ice sweep

••

removing the water shed

••

unscrewing the breaker cover (left hand thread)

••

unscrewing the auger stud

Inspect the assembly, looking for wear 
4. Clean the remote condenser. Use a vacuum
cleaner or coil cleaner if needed.
Do NOT use a wire brush.
5. Check and tighten all bolts and screws.
