Repair Procedures: The gear reducer
(Assuming that the procedures through removal of the
water seal have been performed.)
1. Remove the electrical wires from the gear drive
motor.
2. Unscrew the 4 cap screws holding the gear reducer
to the ice machine.
3. Remove the gear reducer from the icemaker.
To Inspect the gear reducer.
1. Remove the cap screws holding the gear reducer
case halves together and pry the two cases apart.
2, To lift off the cover, lift up until you can feel internal
contact, then pull the cover towards the output gear
end, and then lift the cover (with drive motor attached)
up and away from the gear reducer case.
Note: The case cover output gear, bearings, and shaft
are one pressed together assembly. Replace as a
unit.
3. Inspect the oil, gears, and bearings. If the oil level
and condition is acceptable, quickly check the gears
and bearings. They are likely to be fine if the oil is.
If there is evidence of water in the oil (rusty bearings
and gears; the oil having a creamy white appearance;
oil level too high) carefully inspect the bearings
and gears. If in doubt about the condition of a part,
replace it. The oil quantity is 14 fluid ounces, do not
overfill.
Note: The gears and bearings are available only as
pressed together sets.
4. After replacing parts as required, (if any)
reassemble the gear case and cover. The two smaller
gears and the oil should be in the lower case, the
output gear will be with the cover. As you lower
the cover onto the lower case, cover will have to be
moved closer to the second gear after the output gear
has cleared the second gear top bearing.
5. After the case is together, and the locating pins are
secure in both ends, replace all cap screws.
6. Bench test the gear reducer, check for oil leaks,
noise, and amp draw.
