9. Remove, clean and replace the ice scoop and ice scoop 

holder.

■

After removing the ice scoop, remove the holder by 
removing the two thumb screws.

■

Wash the ice scoop holder along with the other interior 
components using the following instructions. 

■

Replace the ice scoop holder by replacing the thumb 
screws.

10. Wash the interior components (cutter grid, exterior of hoses, 

and water pan) and the storage bin, door gasket, ice scoop, 
and ice scoop holder with mild soap or detergent and warm 
water. Rinse in clean water. Then clean the same parts with a 
solution of 1 tbs (15 mL) of household bleach in 1 gal. (3.8 L) 
warm water. Rinse again thoroughly in clean water.

NOTE: Do not remove hoses. Do not wash plastic parts in 
dishwasher. They cannot withstand temperatures above 
145°F (63°C).

11. Replace water pan by pushing back on the bottom with one 

hand while pushing up and back on the top. Secure the water 
pan by replacing both screws.

12. Check the following:

■

Drain cap from the water pan is securely in place. If the 
drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, 
and you will have either thin ice or no ice.

■

Hose from water pan is inserted into storage bin drain 
opening.

13. Slide the cutter grid back into place and secure it by 

replacing the right-hand screw and plastic spacer. Then 
tighten the left-hand screw. Reconnect the cutter grid 
harness and the ice level sensor harness.

14. Replace the cutter grid cover and the two screws.

15. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

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), remove 

water 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.
