When small hole is centered in large hole, water fill
adjustment is 7.5 seconds (normal fill time).
Water Problems
Poor water quality can cause ice maker to fail or
produce unacceptable cubes. Mineral content or sand
can restrict screen in water fill valve or particle of sand
can keep valve from seating properly.
If water valve does not close, the following could occur:
• no ice production
• small or hollow ice cubes
• flooding of ice container
Install water filter, part #R0183114, to eliminate bad
taste, odor, and visible contaminates.
Mineral contact can cause lime build up in mold.
Wicking of water over mold and poor cube release can
occur. Silicone is applied at upper edges around fill cup
and stripper.
Temperature Problems
Freezer temperatures above normal 0° ± 2°F
(-18°±1°C) will slow down ice production. Increase ice
production by setting freezer to colder setting.
Thermostat cycling temperature (1 revolution ice
maker) is 17° ± 3°F (-8° ± 1°C). Ice will freeze when
these temperatures are achieved. Cycling time will be
slower if freezer temperature is not cold enough to
!
Caution
To avoid module damage do not rotate water
adjustment screw more than one full turn in
either direction.

Thermostat, mold heater, and wiring harness are
replaceable. Any other failure, including motor, requires
replacement of module assembly. Replacement mold
assembly comes with new mold heater installed.

3.
Grasp 1 thermostat clip and pull out.
4.
Press in new thermostat. Verify pins are properly
indexed. Electrical assembly does not need to be
removed.
If replacing module, transfer clips to new mold
support. Use new thermal bonding material.
