The water inlet valve normally does not require removal
for cleaning. Follow the instructions below to determine if
removal is necessary.
1. Set the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF. Locate the
water inlet valve (in the water area of the ice
machine). It pours water into the water trough.
2. When the ice machine is off, the water inlet valve
must completely stop water flow into the machine.
Watch for water flow. If water flows, remove,
disassemble and clean the valve.
3. When the ice machine is on, the water inlet valve
must allow the proper water flow through it. Set the
toggle switch to ON. Watch for water flow into the ice
machine. If the water flow is slow or only trickles into
the ice machine, remove, disassemble, and clean
the valve.
Follow the procedure below to remove the water inlet
valve.
Removal
1. Remove the valve shield if necessary.
2. Remove the filter access screws that hold the valve
in place.
NOTE: The water inlet valve can be disassembled and
cleaned without disconnecting the incoming water
supply line to the ice machine, when a shut off valve is
installed before the water inlet valve.
3. Remove, clean, and install the filter screen.

Warning
Disconnect the electric power to the ice machine at
the electric service switch box and turn off the water
supply before proceeding.
