evaporator into the bin or a container.

2. Swing bail clip down and remove ice chute

removed as an assembly.
a. Unscrew 4 allen head cap screws holding
breaker to evaporator.
b. Lift up on breaker and remove auger from
evaporator.
Note: If the auger is stuck, the breaker must be
removed from the auger.
The breaker may be removed from the auger and
evaporator without disturbing the auger.

puller to pull on the auger at the threaded hole.
The size of that hole is 5/8"-18.
Inspect the auger, the critical areas of the auger
are:
1. The auger body. It should be clean and shining.
Sometimes an auger will appear clean when wet,
but after it is dry it will be seen to be stained.
Scrub the auger with ice machine cleaner and hot
water.
WARNING
Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with
extreme care, keep out of the reach of children.
2. The water seal area. Because the auger has
been removed, the water seal will have to be
replaced. Remove the water seal top half from the
auger, and inspect the auger for minerals, clean as
required.
