18)Move the power switch to the "ON" position, then replace the panels in their correct positions.

19)Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process.

6.Removal and Replacement of Gear Motor

1)Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position and drain all of the water from the evaporator.

2)After the water has stopped draining, move the control switch to the "OFF" position, then turn off the power supply. Remove the front and top panels, then move the power switch to the "OFF" position.

3)Remove the front cover of the storage bin. Remove spout B, then remove spout A. See Fig. 1.

4)Remove the apron panel, then remove the left side panel.

5)Remove the evaporator bracket.

6)Remove the bolts securing the lower housing to the gear motor. Lift the evaporator up slightly.

7) Remove the gear motor/drain pan bolts. See Fig. 3.

8)Disconnect the wiring from the gear motor, then remove the gear motor from the drain pan.

9)Remove the gear motor bracket from the old gear motor and attach to the new gear motor.

10)Remove the spline coupling and gear motor cover from the old gear motor and attach to the new gear motor. The narrow side of the gear motor cover should be towards the evaporator. After tightening the mounting screws, apply silicone caulk to the heads to seal them.

11)Place the new gear motor in the drain pan.

12)Using the gear motor/drain pan bolts and washers, secure the gear motor and drain pan to the drain pan bracket.

13)Connect the gear motor wires.
