GE Monogram ZDIB50 Ice Maker User Manual


 
Cleaning the Inside Parts of the Icemaker
1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF” and
disconnect the electrical power supply to the
machine. Open the storage bin door and remove
any ice that is in the bin.
2. Remove the ice retainer baffle by flexing it and
then slide it off the studs.
3. Remove the ice cutter grid by unscrewing the two
screws, sliding the grid forward and unplugging
the electrical wire harness.
4. Remove the water pan by unscrewing and
removing the two screws and washers.
5. Remove the hose from the water pump.
6. Remove the water distributor from the freezing
plate. It is held in place by rubber end caps.
Remove the inlet hose and clean all water
distributor holes and the small orifice in the inlet
side of the distributor. When replacing the
distributor, make sure the end caps are located in
the evaporator flange detents and that the water
distributor holes face down.
7. Wash the interior components (ice retainer baffle,
cutter grid, water pan, inlet hose and water
distributor) and the storage bin, door gasket and
ice scoop with mild soap or detergent and warm
water. Rinse in clean water. These components
should also be cleaned in a solution of 1 oz.
(29.6 ml) of chlorine bleach in 1 gallon (3.8 L)
warm water. Rinse again thoroughly in clean water.
8. Replace the interior components: water
distributor, inlet hose and water pan.
9. Check the following:
• The hose from the water valve is in the water pan.
• The rubber drain plug is in the water pan.
• The water distributor is seated and the holes are
facing down.
• The hose is reconnected to the pump and the
water distributor.
• The hose from the water pan is inserted into the
storage bin drain opening.
10. Reconnect the electrical harness, slide the cutter
grid into place and tighten the screws. Replace
