Water Level Probe Removal

Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve normally does not require removal for cleaning. Follow the instructions below to determine if removal is necessary.

1.Set the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF. Locate the water inlet valve (in the water area of the ice machine). It pours water into the water trough.

2.When the ice machine is off, the water inlet valve must completely stop water flow into the machine. Watch for water flow. If water flows, remove, disassemble and clean the valve.

3.When the ice machine is on, the water inlet valve must allow the proper water flow through it. Set the toggle switch to ON. Watch for water flow into the ice machine. If the water flow is slow or only trickles into the ice machine, remove disassemble, and clean the valve.

Follow the procedure below to remove the water inlet valve.

WARNING

Disconnect the electric power to the ice machine at the electric service switch box and turn off the water supply before proceeding.

1.Remove the valve shield if necessary.

2.Remove the filter access screws that hold the valve in place.

NOTE: The water inlet valve can be disassembled and cleaned without disconnecting the incoming water supply line to the ice machine.

3.Remove, clean, and install the filter screen.

4.If necessary, remove the enclosure tube access screws to clean interior components.
