The ice maker is a factory installed accessory. The
components that support the ice maker are the water
valve, water fill line, water fill tube, and the wire
harness. The ice maker and components are shown in
Figure 49.

The wire harness, Figure 49(a) has four wires.

n 

Black–line (L) voltage with thermal fuse for ice

mold overheating protection. It has an insulated female
quick-connect terminal.

n 

White–neutral (N). The insulated male quick-

connect terminal is the 120 Vac neutral (N) conductor .

n 

Brown–supplies 120 Vac power to the water valve

solenoid during the fill cycle. It connects to water valve
solenoid M terminal.

n 

Green–ground. Connects to the metal cabinet

metal plate along with the 120 Vac power cord ground
wire.

The fill tube is foamed into the top of the cabinet. It is
not a replaceable component.

Figure 49(b) shows an ice maker solenoid water valve
that has a 12 Vdc water line heater. The 12 Vdc heater
is controlled by a thermostatic switch mounted on the
valve's mounting bracket.

Figure 49(c) shows an ice maker solenoid water valve
without a 12 Vdc water line heater.
