N84XIMXX models)
- Make sure the propane gas pressure is 11 inches of water
column.
- Adjust if needed.
- Make sure the combustion seal is complete and intact.
- Replace or repair it if needed.
- Make sure the burner and the burner orifice are clean.
- Clean if needed.
- Make sure the electrode spark gap is 1/8 - 3/16 inch.

Refrigerator Maintenance
Gas flame appearance:
While in GAS operation, examine the appearance of the gas
flame:a
- Turn the gas control to the COLDEST position.
- Open the lower intake vent.
CAUTION: The burner box cover can be hot. Wear
gloves to avoid burns.
- Remove the drip cup by removing the screw.
3. Remove the garden hose adapter from the water solenoid
valve.
4. Remove the ice maker water line from the water solenoid
valve
- Do not unwrap the water line heater wires from around the
water solenoid valve.
5. Drain all of the water from both the water supply line and the
ice maker water line.
6. Put the end of the water supply line, the end of the ice maker
water line, and the water solenoid valve each into a clean
plastic bag.
7. Use tape to close each plastic bag around the water lines and
the water solenoid valve.
To use the ice maker after seasonal storage:
CAUTION: Do not operate the ice maker when the
ambient air temperature is 0° F. or lower. Damage to the
water solenoid valve and the water supply line can occur.
1. Remove the tape and plastic bags from the end of the water
supply line, the end of the ice maker water line, and the water
solenoid valve.
2. Connect the ice maker water line to the water solenoid valve.
3. Connect the garden hose adapter to the water solenoid valve.
4. Push the ice maker arm down into the ON position.
5. Open the vehicle water supply valve to the ice maker.
NOTE: You should discard and not use the first two batches
of ice cubes. It will take about three cycles for the ice
maker to make fully formed and clean ice cubes.
