CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Your ice-making appliance needs to be cleaned
regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak
efficiency and to avoid premature failure of
system components. See the “Ice Production”
section on page 12.
1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Open the storage bin door and remove any
ice that is in the bin.
3. Remove the drain cap from the water pan
and drain thoroughly. Replace the drain
cap securely.
4. To remove, pull out on the bottom of the
cutter grid cover until the snaps release.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before cleaning.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.

6. Unplug the ice level sensor from the right
side of the cutter grid. Pull the ice level
sensor down and forward away from the
cutter grid.
7. Remove the right-hand and left-hand
screws from the cutter grid. Lift the cutter
grid up and out.
 NOTE: Make sure the plastic spacer
from the right-hand side of the cutter
grid bracket remains attached to the
cutter grid.
8. Remove the mounting screw that holds the
water pan in place. Pull out on the front of
the water pan.
9. Disconnect the pump bracket from the
water pan and unplug the water pan drain
pump.
10. Wash the interior components, storage bin,
door gasket, ice scoop, and ice scoop holder
with mild soap or detergent and warm
water. Rinse in clean water. Clean the same
parts with a solution of 1 Tbsp. (14.8 mL)
of household bleach in 1 gal. (3.8 L) warm
water. Thoroughly rinse again, using clean
water.
11. To replace the water pan, set the water pan
inside the ice bin and hook up the water
pan pump. Snap the pump bracket back
onto the water pan and place back into
position. Secure the water pan by replacing
the mounting screw.
12. Slide the cutter grid back into place and
secure it by replacing the right-hand screw
and plastic spacer. Then tighten the left-
hand screw. Reconnect the cutter grid
harness and the ice level sensor harness.
13. Replace the cutter grid cover.
14. Gently wipe the control panel with a soft,
clean dishcloth using warm water and a
mild liquid dish detergent.
15. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
Check the following:
■ Drain cap from the water pan is securely
in place. If the drain cap is loose, water will
empty from the water pan, and you will
have either thin ice or no ice.
■ Hose from water pan is inserted into the
storage bin drain opening.
■ After cleaning, make sure that all controls
are set properly and that no control
indicators are flashing.
