WATER DUMP VALVE
The water dump valve normally does not require
removal for cleaning. To determine if removal is
necessary:
1. Locate the water dump valve.
2. Set the toggle switch to ICE.
3. While the ice machine is in the Freeze mode, check
the dump valve’s clear plastic outlet drain hose for
leakage.
A. If the dump valve is leaking, remove,
disassemble and clean it.
B. If the dump valve is not leaking, do not remove
it. Instead, follow standard ice machine cleaning
procedures.
Follow the procedure below to remove the dump
valve.
1. If so equipped, remove the water dump valve shield
from its mounting bracket.
2. Lift and slide the coil retainer cap from the top of the
coil.
3. Note the position of the coil assembly on the valve
for assembly later. Leaving the wires attached, lift
the coil assembly off the valve body and the
enclosing tube.
4. Press down on the plastic nut on the enclosing tube
and rotate it 1/4 turn. Remove the enclosing tube,
plunger, and plastic gasket from the valve body.
NOTE: At this point, the water dump valve can easily
be cleaned. If complete removal is desired, continue
with step 5.
