WATER RESERVOIR
1. Shut off the water supply to the icemaker.
2. Remove front panel and reservoir cover.
3. To remove float only, pry the mounting
flanges apart enough to lift one float pivot pin
out of the flange hole, and pull float up and out
of the reservoir.
4. To remove reservoir, disconnect water inlet
compression fitting at reservoir inlet.
5. Remove drain hose from reservoir.
6. Remove evaporator inlet hose from
reservoir.
7. Remove mounting screws from reservoir
bracket, and remove reservoir from icemaker. 
8. Reverse to reassemble.

BIN CONTROLS (Ice Level Sensors)
1. Disconnect electrical power.
2. Remove front panel.
3. Remove control box cover.
4. Locate ice chute, at the base of the chute,
in front of and behind it are two plastic bin
control mounts.
5. Slide each bin control to the left, and in the
control box, disconnect the electrical leads
connecting the bin control to the circuit board.
6. Reverse to reassemble, be certain that the
bin controls are aligned so that the ice level
sensors are visible (centered) through the
holes in the cube chute.
