88 Section F - Ice Maker
The correct water fill volume is 78-83 cc. To measure the fill volume, test-cycle the
Ice Maker and collect the water. Measure in a container calibrated in cubic
centimeters (cc) the fill time is 5.4 seconds.
The fill volume is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the length of time the Water
Fill Switch remains closed.
To adjust the Water Fill Switch, first determine how much water is needed. The
adjusting screw is calibrated so that one complete revolution changes the water fill
about 18 cubic centimeters. Turning the screw clockwise decreases the fill, while
turning counterclockwise increases the fill.
EXAMPLE: An Ice Maker is test-cycled and the water fill sample is 93 cubic
centimeters. Subtracting 80 cc from 93, the adjustment needed is 13 cc. Since one
turn of the adjusting screw changes the fill 18 cc, ¾ of a turn clockwise would
reduce the fill about 13 cc, the desired amount. (This example is for manual
models only.)
