AFE325

Maintenance and Cleaning

In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt about the condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger can be removed so the parts can be inspected.

Note: Water filters can filter out suspended solids, but not dissolved solids. ‘‘Soft’’ water may not be the complete answer. Check with a water treatment specialist regarding water treatment.

For more information on removal of these parts, see REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT.

To Inspect The Top Bearing:

1.Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect electrical power before beginning.

2.Remove the two screws from the spout at the side of the evaporator. Pull the spout away from the evaporator.

3.Remove screw holding spout plate to evaporator.

4.Remove the snap ring and cap, and remove the bolt from the ice breaker and auger assembly to separate the ice breaker assembly from the auger. Pull the ice breaker with bearing out of the top of the evaporator: the auger should stay in the evaporator.

The bearings may be inspected for rust, wear, and roughness. Reverse to reassemble.

To Inspect the Auger:

1.Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water.

2.Remove the two screws from the spout at the side of the evaporator. Pull the spout away from the evaporator.

3.Remove screw holding spout plate to evaporator.

4.Pull up on cap hook located in the top of the freezer assembly to remove the ice breaker assembly, auger, and the top portion of the water seal.

5.Inspect the auger and the water seal. Clean the auger of any mineral build up. Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and a scouring pad work well to clean the auger. DO NOT USE steel wool.

6.Replace the water seal, see the instructions under "Removal and Replacement".
