How to Check Sensor Resistances
Make
ice slurry. To do this, fill a cup with ice
(preferably crushed), then add water and a
teaspoon of salt to make a slush. Mix thor-
oughly and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
This will give you a 32*F reference. Now,
lower the sensor into the mixture and leave
for about 1 minute, then check the resis-
tance. It should be very close to 13,300
ohms. Before reinstalling the sensor, be
sure to rinse it with fresh water and dry it.
REMOVAL OF DISPLAY
Hold the Ice & Water select tab and pull it forward to take off
the Display Panel.
WHEN ASSEMBLING COVER DISPLAY
First insert it from the left side, then assemble to the right side.
Otherwise the hook can break.
