Components in Unit Compartment
Accessing the Unit Compartment
The water inlet valve, the hot gas valve, the compressor
(and starting relay and overload protectors), the con-
denser, the condenser accumulating tube, the condens-
er fan and drier are located in the unit compartment.
To access the unit compartment:
1. Remove the two (2) screws at the bottom of grille.
2. Pull the lower panel and grille assembly down and
outward, releasing it from the two clips at the top.
There is a baffle separating the unit compartment.
During operation of the unit, the air is pulled in through
the lower grille on the right side of the baffle, across the
condenser, and is pushed out through the lower grille
on the left side of the baffle.
To remove baffle:
1. Remove the screws on the compressor side that
secure the baffle in place and carefully remove.
It is always important that the baffle is replaced proper-
ly. If baffle is not in place during operation, warm air
could be continually recirculated through the unit area,
resulting in inefficient operation and low quality ice.
To pull out the unit compartment:
1. Remove the door, cutter grid assembly, the water
reservoir pan, water pump, lower panel and grille
assembly, and the baffle.
2. Drop the evaporator.
3. Remove the screws that secure the shell front, and
pull out the shell front.
4. Remove wire leads from hot gas valve, water inlet
valve and the compressor starting components.
5. Remove the inlet and outlet water tubes from the
water inlet valve.
6. Loosen the bolts on the side rails at the bottom of
the unit compartment.
7. Snap out the retaining spring clips along the left
side of the front bin seal.
8.
Carefully pull out the unit compartment several
inches. Be careful to guide the sealed system tub-
ing forward, through the left side of the bin, and
through the slit in the upper left front corner of the
bin. Also, carefully guide the evaporator forward.
9. Remove the wire leads from the compressor fan
when they become accessible while the unit com-
partment is being pulled out.
10. Pull the unit compartment out as far as it will come.
