1.4 After Servicing
After servicing the unit, whether it is at the site or at service center, check the following:
•
MAKE CERTAIN THERE ARE NO LEAKS IN THE DRAIN OR WATER
LINES.
Check the water line, water valve, drain valve, and drain tubing for leaks.
•
Make certain the icemaker functions properly by observing ice production and ice
harvest cycles. Check for hollow ice slabs or ice slabs that will not release.
•
Make certain the bin thermostat will turn the unit off. The best way to check this is
to let the ice maker bin fill with ice. If time is restricted, however, use several ice
cubes and place them on the bin thermostat’s capillary tube sleeve located on the side
of the ice bin. The unit should shut down within a few minutes. After removing the
ice, the unit should start at least five minutes later.
