Repair Procedures: The Water Seal:
(Assuming all steps to remove the auger have been
performed.)
1. The gear motor/evaporator assembly will have to
be exposed.
2. Remove the 4 hex head cap screws holding the
evaporator to the gear motor assembly. Lift the
evaporator up and off of the gear motor.
3. Remove the snap ring or wire retainer from the
groove under the water seal.
4. Pull or drive out the lower half of the water seal.
Tip: Push one side of seal in so the seal is turned 90
degrees to the evaporator and pull it out.
To Replace the Water Seal:
1. Lubricate the water seal with a thin coating of food
grade grease or oil, and push the water seal into the
bottom of the evaporator slightly past the groove for
the snap ring.
2. Replace the snap ring and pull the water seal down
against it.
3. The part of the water seal that rotates with the
auger must also be replaced. Remove the old part
from the auger and clean the mounting area.
4. Place a small bead of food grade silastic sealant
(such as 732 RTV or Scotsman part number 19-0529-
01) on the area of the auger where the water seal is
to be mounted.
5. Carefully push the water seal (rubber side against
the auger shoulder and the silastic sealant).
Do not get any sealant onto the face of the seal.
6. Allow the auger and seal to air dry until the sealant
is dry on the surface.
7. If the original water seal was leaking, it would be a
good idea to inspect the interior of the gear motor.
