Ice Maker
The ice maker is fully automatic and will operate in ambient temperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at temperatures between
0° F and 32° F., the ice maker has a heater on the solenoid water valve and on the water line between the solenoid valve and the ice
maker. At temperatures below 0° F, store the ice maker as written in the “Ice Maker Storage” section of this manual.
The water line heater does not protect the water supply line from the vehicle shut off valve to the solenoid
valve on the back of the refrigerator.
When the freezer temperature of the refrigerator is low enough, the ice maker opens the water solenoid valve and fills the mold. The
ice maker ejects the frozen ice into a storage bin. As the storage bin fills, the ice raises the shut-off arm until it turns off the ice maker.
As you use the ice and lower the ice level in the storage bin, the shut-off arm also lowers. This turns the ice maker ON and begins the
process of making ice.
The ice maker operates on:
- Cold potable water at a pressure of 15 psi - 125 psi.
- 120 Volts AC (108 VAC min. - 132 VAC max.).
Ice maker operation:
1. Make sure the ice maker AC power cord is plugged into a receptacle.
2. Open the water shut off valve of the vehicle.
Make sure that the ice maker arm can move freely and does not touch the frozen
foods in the freezer.
3. Push the ice maker arm down to the ON position [60] (See Art01015).
If you operate the refrigerator without connecting the water supply line and/
or opening the water shut off valve of the vehicle, make sure the ice maker
arm is up in the OFF position.
4. Allow the freezer to cool enough and ice production will begin to fill the storage bin [61].
New plumbing connections and/or impurities in the water supply line after
winterizing can cause the first ice to be discolored or have an odd flavor.
5. To stop the ice maker, push the ice maker arm up to the OFF position [62].
Effects of Freezing Temperatures on Refrigerator Operation
A gas absorption refrigerator is not designed to operate in freezing temperatures. If the refrigerator is not equipped for low temperature
operation, and if the cooling system of the refrigerator is exposed to temperatures of 32° F. or lower for an extended period of time,
the refrigerator operation may be disrupted. The refrigerator operation will resume when the cooling system of the refrigerator warms
sufficiently.
If the refrigerator is equipped for low temperature operation, the refrigerator will operate in temperatures down to 0° F.
Disrupted operation of the refrigerator, due to extended exposure to temperatures of 32° F. or lower, and any costs incurred to warm the
cooling system of the refrigerator are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty. Please contact your local RV dealer for information
about how to resume refrigerator operation or about how to equip your refrigerator for operation in freezing temperatures.
Do not change the installation or the venting of your refrigerator. Refrigerator failures, which are the result of changes to either the
refrigerator installation or to the venting, are not covered by the Norcold limited warranty.
