ICE MAKER TESTING PROCEDURES
Operating Cycle
The operation of the Ice Maker, water refilling, and
controlled ice storage, require proper functioning and
timing of all components.
Consider the following:
• Has refrigerator been properly installed and
connected to sources of electrical power and water?
• Has Freezer compartment Evaporator pulled down
to temperature?
• Have several ice making cycles been completed
and is the Ice Maker in the Freeze Cycle?
• Is the Ice Maker Thermostat single-throw switch in
series with the Mold Heater?
• Do the Ejector Blades make two revolutions per cycle? Is ice stored on
blades after harvest?
• Is the Water Solenoid wired in series with the Mold Heater?
