Water Valve (Model UC-24C)
The quick-connect water valve is attached to a flange
that is part of an air baffle that is attached to the unit
tray.
NOTE:
To remove the water valve, the appliance must
be pulled from its installation. When removing an
Under Counter appliance from its installation, keep in
mind that an anti-tip bracket and a countertop bracket
may have been used to make a solid installation.
NOTE:
Turn off water supply before attempting this
repair.
To Remove the water valve (See Figures 7-54 and 7-
55):
1.
Remove access panel from bottom back of unit and
door closer from bottom front corner.
2.
Extract screws securing unit tray to cabinet on the
left side, and loosen screws on right side.
3.
Separate cabinet from unit tray by leaning cabinet
to the right, then insert a spacer between cabinet
and unit tray
(a piece of 2x4 lumber works well).
4.
Disconnect valve electrical leads.
5.
Extract valve mounting screws.
6.
Disconnect water tubes from valve by pushing col-
lar around tube toward valve, while pulling water
tube away from valve.
NOTE: Water tubing attached to a quick-connect water
valve may develop indentations around the tubing
under the connection rings. To prevent leaks when
installing a new water valve, it may be necessary to cut
a new straight edge at the end of the water tube, if
indentations are present, before inserting it into a new
valve.
