REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE
AUGER, WATER SEAL, BEARINGS AND
COUPLING
A. To Remove the Auger, Water Seal,
Bearings, and Coupling:
1. Remove screws and the Front Panel and
the Top Panel. Shut close water supply. Drain
the water reservoir and freezer assy using the
drain tube attached to the freezer water inlet.
2. Remove the screws that secure the spout
to the stop of the Freezer Assembly.
3. Disconnect wires from micro box spout
switch.
4. Remove micro-box and the spout assy.
5. Remove center plastic cap that protects
top bearing.
6. Unloose and remove center bolt that
secures the ice breaker to the auger.
7. Unloose and remove 8 screws that hold
the ice breaker to freezer barrel.
(Two longer screws are used with freezer side
bracket).
8. Insert two of these screws into two
threaded-blind holes, which must have no bottom
on barrel and by evenly drawing them down, ice
breaker is lifted up.
9. Grasp the ice breaker and lift it up entirely.
Worm shaft witt remain into the freezer worm
tube.
10. With a rowhide mallet or a piece of wood
placed on the bottom end of the top bearing, tap
the bottom of the bearing to break it loose to be
pulled out from ice breaker.
11. Clean away old grease and replace the
"O" rings in the ice breaker.
12. Insert in auger hub threaded hole an
eyebolt of 16 m/m in order to offer sufficient and
positive hook for pulling-out the auger.
13. Lift and pull-out the auger with the help,
eventually of a small hydraulic Hoist.
NOTE
:
1. Any time the Auger is removed for
replacement, or, for the inspection and
replacement of the Bearing or Coupling, use
extra care in handling the Water Seal parts,
so no dirt or foreign matter are deposited on
the surfaces of the Seal.
2. If there is any doubt about the
effectiveness of the Water Seal or O-Ring,
REPLACE THEM. A dirty, worn or faulty
Water Seal or O-Ring will cause a leak and
ultimately require a second, time consuming,
removal and replacement procedure to be
performed, that COULD HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED.
3. Lower bearing or water seal should be
removed by pulling-out the bearing retainer
from the bottom of freezer barrel.
You can heat the bearing retainer with a soft
flame.
The bearing will drop out by itself.
14. Remove screws and lockwashers which
attach the Freezer Assembly to the Adaptor on
the Gear box.
15. Raise the Freezer Assembly off of the
Adaptor, to gain access to the Bearing Retainer;
then, temporarily secure the Freezer Assembly
out of the way to allow room to work.
16. Unloose and remove the four screws
that secure the bottom flange to the worm tube.
17. Push out to remove the seal ring.
18. Remove the clip ring and the bearing
from the bearing retainer.
19. Inspect the lower half of the Water Seal.
If reusable, use care to protect it from dirt, etc.
prior to replacement procedure.
20. Inspect the lower Bearing and, if the
Bearing is dry replace it with a new one.
21. Inspect the O ring of lower bearing
retainer - eventually replace it with a new one.
22. Reach through the Adaptor and remove
the Coupling for inspection.
23. Check the Coupling for cracks, chipping
and excessive wear.
B. To replace, the Auger, Water Seal,
Bearings, and Coupling, reverse the removal
procedure.
NOTE
:
1. When installing the Bearing, in the
bearing retainer carefully tap a piece of wood
positioned across the bearing, to evenly seat
the Bearing in the retainer.
2. After assembling the ice breaker on
the upper end of the Auger and BEFORE
installing the Cap apply an ample coating of
vary bond grease type Never Seez food
grade H1 - certified -20
°
C +150
°
C Grease,
P/N 263612 00, to the upper part of the
Bearing, the Cap Screw and Washer.
Then, install the Cap in place.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF
THE FREEZER ASSEMBLY
NOTE
:
1. The Cabinet may have to be removed
from is permanents location, especially if
located in a corner, in order to have access
to the left side and rear of the Chassis.
2. In addition to shutting OFF electrical
power and inlet water to the icemaker, be
sure to disconnect the inlet water line
BEFORE moving the icemaker from the
permanent location.
3. Always install a replacement Drier,
anytime the sealed refrigeration system is
opened. Do not replace the Drier until all
other repair or replacement has been
completed.
