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].
