Water Seal and Lower O-Ring 
The water seal is located in the bottom of the evaporator and prevents water from leaking out 
of the evaporator.  The water seal consists of two (2) components: the seal and the seal face. 
 
The seal is fitted into the lower bearing housing and the seal face fits around the auger shaft 
with the rubber side seating against the bottom of the auger.  When the water seal assembly 
is in place, the top of the seal presses against the seal face.  If the water seal fails, water will 
usually leak between the lower bearing and the auger shaft.  See Page E6 for water seal 
replacement procedure. 
Note:  The water seal is available only as a complete assembly.  Both seal and seal 
face must be replaced together.

Drip Boot 
The drip boot is located at the bottom of the evaporator to catch condensation from the 
evaporator.  A water seal leak will not drain into the drip boot since the water will track down 
the auger shaft. 

Note: Too cold of water temperature (below 50

°F) and improper water level are two of the 

most common problems for flakers, causing low production, too hard and/or wet ice.
