1. Upper Bearing Wear Check
To ensure that the bearing inside the extruding head does not exceed the wear tolerance of .02", follow the instructions below.
1)Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2)Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3)While maintaining a hold on the door, remove the hinge stop pin from hinge (B). Pull out the bottom of the door slightly, then gently remove the door from hinge (A). See Fig. 7.
4)Remove the top panel.
5)Remove the spout.

7) Grasp the top of the auger and move the auger towards you and then try to insert a
.02" round stock or pin gauge in between
the back side of the auger shaft and the bearing surface. See Fig. 8. Check several locations around the auger shaft. If the gauge goes between the shaft and the bearing at any point or if the bearing is scratched or cracked, both the top bearing in the extruding head and the lower bearing in the housing should be replaced. Instructions for removing the extruding
head and housing are located later in this procedure.
Note: Replacing the bearing requires a bearing press adaptor. If one is not available, replace the entire extruding head and housing.
8)Replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed.
9)Plug the unit back in. Move the power switch to the "ON" position.
