5. Setup and Installation
Installation procedures may vary slightly depending on your specific refrigerator model. Refer to your refrigerator's primary user manual for detailed instructions on accessing and replacing the ice maker components. The following steps provide a general overview:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the appliance.
- Access Ice Maker Compartment: Open the freezer door and locate the ice maker assembly. This may involve removing an ice bucket or other covers.
- Remove Old Ice Tray (if applicable): Carefully disconnect any wiring harnesses or water lines attached to the existing ice tray. Unfasten any screws or clips holding the old tray in place and remove it.
- Install New Ice Tray: Position the new Fisher & Paykel 820841 Large Auto Ice Tray in the designated location. Secure it with the original screws or clips.
- Reconnect Connections: Reattach any wiring harnesses and water lines. Ensure all connections are firm and properly seated.
- Restore Power: Once the new ice tray is securely installed and all connections are made, restore power to the refrigerator.
6. Operation
After installation and power restoration, the automatic ice maker system will begin its cycle. It may take 12-24 hours for the first batch of ice to be produced and for the ice bucket to fill completely. The ice maker will automatically refill as ice is used.
- First Use: Discard the first few batches of ice to ensure any manufacturing residues are flushed out and the water lines are clear.
- Ice Production: The ice maker will cycle periodically to produce ice. The frequency depends on freezer temperature, door openings, and water usage.
- Ice Level Sensor: The ice maker typically has a sensor arm or optical sensor that detects the ice level in the bucket. When the bucket is full, ice production will pause until more ice is needed.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your auto ice tray.
- Cleaning: Periodically remove the ice bucket and the ice tray (if easily removable) and clean them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstallation. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Water Filter: Ensure your refrigerator's water filter is replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain water quality and prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker.
- Inspection: Occasionally inspect the ice tray and surrounding components for any signs of wear, damage, or mineral deposits.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Fisher & Paykel 820841 Large Auto Ice Tray, consider the following common solutions:
- No Ice Production:
- Ensure the refrigerator is plugged in and receiving power.
- Check if the ice maker's shut-off arm is in the down (ice-making) position.
- Verify the water supply line to the refrigerator is connected and the water valve is open.
- Check if the water filter needs replacement.
- Ensure the freezer temperature is set correctly (typically 0°F / -18°C).
- Small or Hollow Ice Cubes:
- This often indicates low water pressure or a partially clogged water filter.
- Check the water supply line for kinks.
- Ice Tastes Bad:
- Replace the water filter.
- Clean the ice bucket and ice tray.
- Discard old ice and allow fresh ice to be made.
- Ice Jamming:
- Ensure the ice bucket is properly seated.
- Check for any foreign objects in the ice maker mechanism.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Fisher & Paykel customer support or a qualified service technician.
