Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
To shut down the ice maker:
1.Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
2.Remove all ice from storage bin.
3.Shut off the water supply.
4.Remove the two screws in the lower access panel and the two screws from the base grille area of the front panel support. Pull forward to remove the lower access panel.
5.Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines to water valve. Allow these lines to drain and then reconnect to the valve.
6.Replace lower access panel and screws.
7.Drain water from water pan by removing the drain cap.
8.If the room temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C), water must be removed from the drain line.
For ice makers with a drain pump installed:
■Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
■Turn ice maker off and remove all remaining ice from ice bin.
■Pour 1 qt (0.95 L) of water into the ice bin near the drain and let the unit stand for approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the water in the bin to drain into the drain pump so that the pump will remove the remaining water from the ice bin and the drain pump.
■Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
9.Before using again, clean the ice maker and storage bin.
10.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
NOTE: All components of the ice maker are permanently lubricated at the factory. They should not require any additional oiling throughout the normal life of the machine.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
■Is the power cord plugged in? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■Is the control set to ON? Be sure that the control is set to ON.
■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■Is the room temperature cooler than normal? Room temperature must be above 55°F (13°C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room temperature and shut off even though the bin is not full of ice. Also, unit may not restart once it does shut off.
■Does the green light come on when the Clean button is pushed? The ice maker is receiving power but may need cleaning. See “Cleaning.”
■Does the ice maker have a drain pump? If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin, check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.
