Repair Procedures: The gear reducer
(Assuming that the procedures through removal of the
water seal have been performed.)
1. Remove the electrical wires from the gear drive
motor.
2. Unscrew the 4 cap screws holding the gear motor
to the ice machine.
3. Remove the gear motor from the ice maker.
To Inspect the gear motor.
1. Remove the cap screws holding the gear motor
case halves together and pry the two cases apart.
2, To lift off the cover, lift up until you can feel internal
contact, then pull the cover towards the output gear
end, and then lift the cover (with drive motor attached)
up and away from the gear motor case.
Note: The case cover output gear, bearings, and shaft
are one pressed together assembly. Replace as a
unit.
3. Inspect the oil, gears, and bearings. If the oil level
and condition is acceptable, quickly check the gears
and bearings. They are likely to be fine if the oil is.
If there is evidence of water in the oil (rusty bearings
and gears; the oil having a creamy white appearance;
oil level too high) carefully inspect the bearings and
gears. If in doubt about the condition of a part, replace
it. The oil quantity is 14 fluid ounces, do not overfill.
Note: The gears and bearings are available only as
pressed together sets
4. After replacing parts as required, (if any)
reassemble the gearcase. The two smaller gears and
the oil should be in the lower case, the output gear
will be with the cover. As you lower the cover onto
the lower case, cover will have to be moved closer to
the second gear after the output gear has cleared the
second gear top bearing.
5. After the case is together, and the locating pins are
secure in both ends, replace all cap screws.
6. Bench test the gear motor, check for oil leaks,
noise, and amp draw.
