This motor operates the fan to help circulate the air for cooling of the compressor and the coils. It also helps to evaporate the excess water located in the drain pan.
I removed the three nuts that hold the old pump, easy. Next step was to replace with the new pump, tricky, because it goes real deep in the machine and my arms barely reach it. After several attemtps, I finally reached one screw and bolt it immediately. Rest was piece of cake. What I liked most, is that you don't need to do any wiring connections, because it uses a simple plug-in connector that goes in at the same time when you bolt the new pump. What it surprised me, was that my machine it's over 20 years old, and the new replacement water pump it's the very same design !!! Last night I fixed it, and today I'm enjoying again fresh ice. One plus for PartSelect : I inherit this machine and didn't have an Installation & Operation Manual,and PartSelect have it On-Line, so I printed it, and I believe I'm ready another 20 year period of fresh ice! Thanks a lot PartSelect !!!
I removed the two wing nut type screws and pulled grid cutter out and then disconnected both the electrical power plug and the light power plug. Then I removed the front face plate and put it on the new grid cutter after cleaning and re-inserted the new grid cutter into ice machine along with re-connecting the electrical and tighten wing screws and then turned the ice machine to on and within approx. 2-3 hours, we had ice. Very simple to do and machine works perfect now. Just like new.
