Removal And Replacement
Bin Thermostat
The bin thermostat controls the On and Off
operation of the ice machine. The machine may
take a long time to come on if the cabinet is in a
cold environment. Do not change a bin thermostat
because of reaction time if the ambient
temperatures are extreme. It should be changed if,
when ice is placed on the tube holder, it does not
open within 2 minutes. It should also be changed
if, when ice is removed from the tube holder, it
does not ever re-close.
1. Remove the hood, door and ice storage bin.
2. Remove the control box cover.
3. Locate the bin thermostat at the front of the
control box.
4. Remove the two screws holding the control to
the control box.
5. Lift the control out of the control box, and pull
the two wires off the controls posts.
6. Follow the capillary tube of the bin thermostat
and remove it from the grommet in the back of the
control box.
7. Pull the end of the bin thermostat from the tube
holder.
8. Pull the capillary back through the grommet in
the evaporator bracket until free. Remove the bin
thermostat from the ice machine.
9. Reverse the above steps to replace. Water on
the capillary tube will make the installation into the
grommets easier.
Caution: Carefully route the bin thermostat
capillary tube to be certain that the back curtain
does not contact the capillary tube.
Electrical shock hazard.
Electrical shock can
cause personal injury.
Disconnect power before
beginning to service
components.
