DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES 
Cover 

1.  Pull water adjustment knob forward. 
2.  Snap off cover.  
 
 

 WARNING:  To  avoid  electrical  shock  which  can               
cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect 
power to refrigerator using power switch before 
servicing.  Wires removed during disassembly 
must be replaced on proper terminals to insure 
correct earthing and polarization.  After servicing, 
reconnect power using power switch.
