Setup and Installation

Installation of an ice maker assembly requires basic mechanical and electrical knowledge. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to consult a qualified appliance technician or refer to your refrigerator's specific service manual.

1. Disconnect Power: Locate your refrigerator's power cord and unplug it from the wall outlet. If the outlet is inaccessible, turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the refrigerator.
2. Access the Old Ice Maker: Open the freezer door. Depending on your refrigerator model, you may need to remove shelves or the existing ice bin to access the old ice maker.
3. Remove Old Ice Maker:
   • Disconnect any wiring harnesses connected to the old ice maker.
   • Unscrew any mounting screws or release clips holding the old ice maker in place.
   • Carefully remove the old ice maker unit.

4. Install New Ice Maker:
   • Position the new ice maker assembly in the freezer compartment.
   • Secure it using the provided mounting hardware (screws, brackets). Ensure it is firmly in place.
   • Connect the appropriate wiring harnesses. Ensure connections are snug.

5. Install Ice Bin: Place the ice bin beneath the ice maker unit.
6. Restore Power: Plug the refrigerator back into the power outlet or turn on the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and power is restored, the ice maker will begin its cycle. Ensure the water supply to the refrigerator is turned on.

• Initial Operation: It may take several hours for the ice maker to produce its first batch of ice. Discard the first few batches of ice to flush the water line and ensure cleanliness.
• Ice Production Rate: The rate of ice production depends on freezer temperature, ambient room temperature, and frequency of door openings.
• Ice Level Arm: The metal arm acts as a sensor. When the ice bin fills and raises the arm, the ice maker will temporarily stop production. When ice is removed and the arm drops, production will resume. Ensure the arm can move freely.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure efficient operation and extends the life of your ice maker.

• Cleaning the Ice Bin: Periodically remove and wash the ice bin with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning it to the freezer.
• Cleaning the Ice Maker Unit: With the power disconnected, wipe down the exterior of the ice maker unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
• Water Filter: If your refrigerator has a water filter, ensure it is replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain water quality and ice production.

Troubleshooting

If your ice maker is not functioning as expected, review the following common issues and solutions before seeking professional service.
