Gearmotor Shaft Seal Replacement

WARNING

Unplug unit before servicing or cleaning. The agitator is operated by a timer and can agitate at anytime

Electric Shock Hazard.

1If the dispenser is top mounted with an ice machine, remove the ice machine front panel. Most will allow access to the bin.

NOTE: The following photos show a bin that is not top-mounted with an ice machine.

2Remove the paddle wheel pin, agitator, and paddle wheel. (See pages 4-5 and 4-6.)

4Remove the bin insulator plate.

CAUTION

It is important to know which side of the bin insulator plate you are accessing, the topside or the underside.

The topside of the bin insulator plate can be noted by an approximately two-inch square of oil seal retainer welded to the top of the bin insulator plate. (As shown in Step 4 above.)

The underside of the bin insulator plate is where the shaft seal is located. (As shown in Step 5 on page 5-2.)
