1. The bin control uses devices that sense light,
therefore they must be kept clean enough so that
they can “see”. At least twice a year, remove the
bin control sensors from the base of the ice chute,
and wipe the inside clean, as illustrated.
2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe
located in the water reservoir. At least twice a
year, the probe should be removed from the
reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral
build-up.
3. The bearing in the breaker should
also be checked at least two times
per year.
A. Check the bearing by:
•
switching the machine OFF
•
removing the ice chute cover
•
unscrewing the ice sweep
•
removing the water shed
•
unscrewing the breaker cover.
•
unscrewing the auger stud
Inspect the assembly, looking for wear.
See Removal and Replacement to replace
bearing or seals. Reverse to reassemble.
4. Check and tighten all bolts and screws.
