1. Upper Bearing Wear Check
To ensure that the bearing inside the extruding head does not exceed the wear tolerance 
of .02", follow the instructions below.
1) Remove the front panel. Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the
unit from the electrical outlet. 
2) Remove the top and side panels. 
3) Remove the strap connecting the spout to the chute assembly, then remove the spout. 
4) Remove the bolt from the auger and lift off the cutter and washer. 
5) Replace the bolt in the auger. Grasp the 
bolt at the top of the auger and move the 
auger towards you and then try to insert a 
.02" round stock or pin gauge in between
the back side of the auger shaft and the 
bearing surface. Check several locations 
around the auger shaft. If the gauge goes 
between the shaft and the bearing at 
any point or if the bearing is scratched 
or cracked, both the top bearing in the 
extruding head and the lower bearing in 
the lower housing should be replaced. 
Instructions for removing the extruding 
head and lower housing are located later in 
this procedure.
Note: Replacing the bearing requires a bearing press adaptor. If one is not available, 
replace the whole extruding head and lower housing.
6) Remove the bolt. Replace the washer, cutter, and cutter bolt. 
7) Replace the spout.
8) Replace the top and side panels in their correct positions.
9) Plug the unit into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the "ON" position
to start the automatic icemaking process.
10) Replace the front panel in its correct position.
