To Remove the Auger:
Turn off the water to the machine, and unclip
the evaporator drain hose, pull it down and
drain the evaporator into the bin or a container.
1. The top panel must be removed.
2. Remove ice chute cover.
3. Unscrew ice sweep.
4. Loosen band clamp and remove ice chute
body.
5. The auger and breaker/bearing may now be
removed as an assembly.
a. Unscrew 4 allen head cap screws holding
breaker to evaporator.
b. Lift up on breaker and remove auger from
evaporator.
Note: If the auger is stuck, the breaker must
be removed
from the
auger.
The breaker
may be
removed from
the auger and
evaporator
without
disturbing the
auger.

e. If the auger is stuck use a slide hammer
type puller to pull on the auger at the threaded
hole. The size of that hole is 5/8"-18.
Inspect the auger, the critical areas of the
auger are:
1. The auger body. It should be clean and
shining. Sometimes an auger will appear
clean when wet, but after it is dry it will be
seen to be stained. Scrub the auger with ice
machine cleaner and hot water.
///////////////////////////WARNING//////////////////////////////
Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with
extreme care, keep out of the reach of
children.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
2. The water seal area. Because the auger
has been removed, the water seal will have to
be replaced. Remove the water seal top half
from the auger, and inspect the auger for
minerals clean as required.
