Reed Switch & Compartment Thermistor Removal
(All Base Units)
The Reed Switches control the compartment lighting
and evaporator fan. The upper Reed Switch in the
700BR-2 and 700BF-2, and the lower Reed Switch in
the 700BR-2 also contain the compartment thermistor.
NOTE:
If the compartment thermistor is defective, the
complete Reed switch assembly must be replaced.
The Reed switches are attached to the evaporator
cover with one screw each.
To remove a Reed switch, extract the screw. Lean the
top of the Reed switch forward and disconnect the elec-
trical leads from the back side, then pull the Reed
switch out.
NOTE:
When reinstalling a Reed switch, plug in the
electrical leads. Place the bottom flange of the switch
housing into the opening in the evaporator cover.
Then, rotate the top back and insert the screw.
Icemaker Assembly and Fill Tube Heater Removal
(700BFI-2 Only)
The icemaker in the 700BFI-2 is attached to a support
plate with three screws that pass up through the plate
into the bottom of the icemaker. The ice level arm is
also attached to the support plate using two P-clamps
and two screws. The P-clamps fit around rods at the
back of the ice level arm. Screws passing through the
P-clamps secure them to the support plate at the rear.
At the front, a connecting rod is used to attach the ice
level arm to the icemaker shut-off arm. Two screws at
the top of the icemaker assembly and one screw at the
bottom pass through the back air duct into screw grom-
met/stand-offs to hold the assembly in place.
Remove the bottom drawer to gain access to the ice-
maker assembly.
(Removing the top drawer is not nec-
essary, but will make this task easier.)
Extract the bot-
tom icemaker mounting screw and the two top mount-
ing screws
Lower the assembly
down and disconnect the wire harness from the right
side wall. Pull the icemaker with the fill tube heater/ice
maker harness out of the unit.
The icemaker can now be removed from the support
plate by first sliding the connecting rod off of the shut-
off arm, then extracting the three screws from the bot-
tom of the icemaker.
The fill tube heater can be removed from the fill tube by
cutting the cable tie which holds the heater to the tube.
