there is not enough room to remove the auger
unless the evaporator is dismounted from the
gearmotor or the ice machine is pulled out from
under the counter.

2. Remove stainless steel cover plate.
3. Remove cover from reservoir, and block the float
or shut off the water supply.

evaporator/reservoir.

back of evaporator.
6. Remove two phillips screws from the back side
of the evaporator.
7. Obtain a 1 1/2" pipe thread tee.
8. Remove the sealing cap.
9. Install the Tee, it will screw onto the breaker,
which has 1 1/2" NPT threads.
10. Pull up on the Tee or insert a bar thru the Tee
and pull up on it to remove the auger and top
bearing retainer.
When the auger is free, the bolt holding it to the
bearing can be removed to allow the bearing
retainer to be separated from the auger.
Then the bearing can be serviced or the bearing
retainer (breaker) replaced.
