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
machine is in the freeze cycle.

1. Unplug or disconnect the electrical power.

2. Unplug the pump from its connection.

5. Loosen the two fasteners holding the cover to
the wall.

6. Remove pump cover from the machine.

7. Pull discharge hose from pump discharge port.

8. Remove pump from ice machine.

9. Reverse above steps to replace.

Inlet Water Valve

The valve may plug-up from minerals in the water,
and may be cleaned rather than replaced.

1. Shut off the water supply.

2. Unscrew the fitting at the top of the valve, and
pull the water inlet tube out of the valve body.

3. Remove the screws holding the valve bracket to
the liner.

4. Remove the valve from the ice machine.

5. Reverse the above steps to reassemble.

Electrical shock hazard.

Electrical shock can
cause personal injury.

Disconnect power before
beginning to service
components.
