Water Valve
Water valve has 1 solenoid. Valve has 80 mesh
screen water strainer. When tan encapsulated
solenoid is energized, the amount of water entering
ice maker mold is directly proportional to length of
time water valve switch is held closed by timing cam.
Inside valve is a flow washer which acts as a water
pressure regulator. Proper ice maker fill is 140 cc
± 10cc at 7.5 seconds of water fill at an inlet pressure
ranging from 20 to 120 PSI (1.4 to 8.2 bar).
Wiring Harness
A nonresettable thermal fuse micro device 170°F
(78°C) is spliced into red wire of ice maker wiring
harness. Fuse will protect freezer plastic liner from
melting if ice maker should overheat. Excessive heat
can cause no ice production. Replacing wiring
harness will only temporarily solve problem. Replace
ice maker thermostats.
