E. Optional Drain Pump HS-0248
1. Overview
As ice melts, water drains from the storage bin into DP. When DP's LF/S closes, DP energizes and pumps out the water. If water cannot be pumped out of DP due to a blocked discharge hose, bad check valve, or bad DP motor, the water level rises and UF/S closes. When UF/S closes, DP safety activates and unit shuts down. DP safety interrupts power to icemaker components until UF/S opens. Power is supplied to DP motor as long as LF/S is closed.
For schematics, see "III.B.2. Icemaker with Optional Drain Pump
NOTICE
•If you remove DP from the icemaker and/or remove the reservoir cover, be sure to follow all instructions below. Failure to do so may result in costly water damage.
•DP has an external or internal check valve. If DP contains an internal check valve, do not install an external check valve and vice versa. See Fig. 6.
