2. Shut off water to icemaker.
3. Drain evaporator and fl oat tank.
4. Disconnect plastic tubing from evaporator water
inlet.
5. Disconnect compression nozzle tubing and reservoir
overfl ow tubing from secured clip.
6. Remove nut and upper vee band coupling from top
of evaporator
7. Lift top bearing assembly straight up with a slight
rotating motion and remove.
8. Remove ice compression loop located at top
of auger.
9. Lift auger straight up and out of evaporator.
10. Remove nut and lower vee band coupling from
bottom of evaporator.
11. Lift evaporator to clear bottom bearing assembly.
12. Loosen hex head bolt in side of mounting base with
5/16" wrench and lift lower bearing assembly.
13. Remove condensate shield.
14. Remove four Allen head machine screws holding
mounting base to gearbox.
15. If replacing evaporator, remove compression nozzle
