Water running from the water sump to the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.

Water running from the evaporator to the water sump may make a splashing sound.

As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storage bin.

When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.

Preparing the Ice Maker for Long Storage

If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to drain the system of water.

1.Shut off the water supply at the main water source.

2.Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet valve.

3.Disconnect the drain pipe to the drain line or floor drain.

4.Allow the ice maker to run for an hour or more until all remaining ice cubes have been ejected from the ice maker assembly.

5.Shut off the electric supply at main electrical power source.

6.Screw off the nut of the water drain hole at the back of the machine, drain out water residue completely (do not loosen or screw off the nut at other times), then tighten the nut after finishing.

7.Drop the door open to allow for circulation and prevent mold and mildew.

8.Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
