Condenser Cleaning

Condenser Cleaning

A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six months.

1.Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.

2.Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover and gently pull it off.

3.Locate the condenser filter. This can be lifted out and cleaned with a brush or flowing water.

4.Remove dirt and lint condenser fins and the unit compartment with a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.

5. Put back the filter and reassemble the front cover.

6. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.

DO NOT touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be damaged easily.

Water Distribution Tube cleaning

When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Set the ICE/OFF/WASH switch to OFF, rotate the water distribution tube, and locate the holes in the distribution tube. Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes, then rotate the water distribution tube back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:

1.Shut off the water supply.

2.Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.

3.Lift the right side, then remove the distribution tube.

4.With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water.

5.Replace the distribution tube.

6.Reconnect the water supply
