1)Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power source.

2)Remove the top panel and unscrew the rear panel.

3)Disconnect the connector of the thermistor lead (orange).

4)Remove the ties, insulation, thermistor holder, and thermistor in this order.

5)Remove the old sealant from the thermistor holder and suction pipe.

6)Wipe off any moisture or condensation from the suction pipe surfaces.

7)Press a tube of the sealant KE4560RTV, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Silicones, to the recess of the thermistor holder. Slowly squeeze the sealant out of the tube and spread it smoothly in the recess. Do not use any sealant other than the above.

8)Attach the new thermistor in position on the suction pipe and press down the thermistor holder over the thermistor. Be careful not to damage the thermistor lead. Cover the parts with the insulation and secure them with the ties. Keep the thermistor inside the thermistor holder. After the thermistor holder is fitted, do not pull the thermistor lead to move the thermistor.

9)Refit the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal procedure.

10) Plug in the icemaker or connect the power source.
