Before You Call for Service
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through this
manual first. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting
guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the
cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem may
be something very simple that can be solved without a service
call. However, it may be required to contact your dealer or a
qualified service technician.
Electrocution Hazard
- Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the main electrical power has
been disconnected. Turning the unit control "OFF" does not
remove electrical power from the units wiring.

Remedy
Typical ice production is 12 pounds
per day. Allow for the freezer section
to reach temperature and the ice
maker to cycle and accumulate ice.
Turn on water supply to the unit.
Water pressure to the unit must be at
a minimum of 20 psi.
When the ice maker shut off arm is
in the uppermost position, the ice
maker is off. Flip the shut off arm
down to turn on the ice maker.
Allow the freezer section to reach
temperature.
Turn the temperature control to a
higher number to allow the unit to
run colder. Allow 24 hours before
readjusting the temperature control.
Make certain the grille in front of the
unit is free and open for air circula-
tion. Clean grille as required.
Move the unit to an area where
ambient temperature is below 90°F.
The unit should not be placed next to
a heat source such as an oven. Check
for cold water connection.
Due to differing water pressures, the
ice maker water input may require
adjustment. See Figure 8 on page 7
for water adjustment screw location.
Use the ice in the bin frequently. Ice
will stick together if left in insulated
bin over long periods of time.
Move the unit to an area that is
below 90°F.
