TO THE INSTRUCTOR/INDEPENDENT STUDENT
At the end of certain sections of this Job Aid you will find a "Confirmation of Lear ning Exercise." A
symbol that looks like this ( ✎) indicates that a pencil and two "Hi-Light" mar kers may be necessary
to complete the exercise. Certain exercises may require that service procedures be performed if an
appropriate appliance is available.
•The power cord must be plugged into a 3-prong grounding-type wall receptacle, g rounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition and local
codes and ordinances.
•It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have a proper 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
•DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER CORD GROUNDING PRONG.
•A separate adequately fused and grounded circuit
should be available for this appliance.
•Do not remove any grounding wires from individual
components while servicing, unless the component
is to be removed and replaced.

! CAUTION
▲
To avoid the risk of
property damage OR personal injury:
•Tape doors closed when adjusting hinges or doors.
•do not dispense ice into thin glass, fine china or delicate crystal. Cracks or chips may
result from ice dropping into container and from combined pressure of hands and
dispenserbar.
•When servicing the ice dispenser system, unplug the refrigerator and remove the ice

R134a REFRIGERANT
SERVICE INFORMATION
This product uses R134a refrigerant. This refrigerant requires synthetic Ester Oil in the compressor.
This cooling system does not tolerate contamination from any of the following:
•Other Refrigerants
•Moisture
•Petroleum-based Lubricants
•Silicone Lubricants
•Cleaning Compounds
•Rust Inhibitors
•Leak Detection Dyes
•Any Other Type of Additive
As a result the following precautions should be observed:
•Use equipment dedicated to R134a sealed system service only.
•Do not leave a replacement compressor open to the atmosphere for more than 10 minutes.
•Always replace the filter-drier when performing any repairs on the sealed system.
•USE ONLY R134a REFRIGERANT FOR BACKFLUSHING AND SWEEP PROCEDURES.
•If the rubber plugs on the service replacement compressor appear to have been tampered
with or removed, DO NOT USE THE COMPRESSOR. Get another one.
•The filter-drier MUST be cut from the sealed system. Never unbraze the filter-drier from
system tubing. Applying heat will drive moisture back into the sealed system.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED MEAT LOCKER
The 26" deep side-by-side refrigerator/freezer is equipped with a chilled meat locker which will keep
the contents of the drawer approximately 5°F colder than the rest of the refrigerator section.
A slide on the front of the drawer operates a damper which directly controls the amount of freezer air
drawn into the drawer through an air duct.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
For ice and water dispensing, a plumbing connection must be made between the household water
supply and the dual solenoid valve mounted on the rear cabinet rail.
Ice dispensing operates as follows:
1. The automatic ice maker is mounted on the
back wall of the freezer liner. Water automatically
fills the mold, freezes into ice and dumps ice into the
the storage bin.
2. When the storage bin is full, a shut-off arm prevents
additional ice production until ice has been removed,
which lowers the shut-off arm. The storage bin will hold
approximately 8 pounds of ice. A motor driven helix is
mounted near the bottom of the storage bin.
When energized, the helix moves the ice to the front of
the storage bin where ice is directed into a lift wheel
mechanism.
3. In cube mode, the helix turns ice lift wheel counter-clockwise.
Ice bypasses the crusher blades and is dispensed into a glass.
4. In crushed mode, the helix turns clockwise forcing the ice into the crusher blades. Crushed ice
pieces will vary in size and shape.
5. Keep bits of ice from being sprayed beyond glass by placing a glass with a large opening close to
the ice chute.

6. Dispense ice by holding glass against ice lever ar m. The mechanically operated ice chute door
opens, and the motor driven helix is energized and ice is automatically dispensed into glass.
When glass is withdrawn, a delay mechanism slowly closes the ice chute door.
! WARNING
▲
To avoid risk of personal Injury or property damage, refrig erator must be
unplugged and ice storage bin must be removed before attempting to service
dispenser system. Never put fing ers, hands, or foreign objects Into Ice dispenser
opening while attempting to manually clear stalls or jams. Never use sharp
objects to break Ice. In case of stall or jam in cube or crushed mode, dispense in
opposite mode several times. There may be a delay when switching between
cube and crushed ice. This is normal. It takes a few seconds for cubes to be
moved from storage bin.
7. Sometimes a mound of “snow” will form on the door and/or ice chute. This condition is normal and
usually occurs with the repeated dispensing of crushed ice. “Snow” will eventually evaporate or
moisture can be wiped dry.
8. If the dispenser bar is held for long periods, the dispenser motor shuts off automatically after 2 to
3 minutes to prev ent ov erload. The motor resets automatically after 3 minutes and ice dispensing
can continue.
9. Use only ice from internal automatic ice maker. Do not add purchased ice cubes or cubes made
in any other manner. Dispenser operates only with cubes of proper size and shape.
10. Allow 12 hours after installation before first harvest of ice. Time required depends on freezer
temperature and amounts of food in freezer and refrigerator compartments.
11. The storage bin fills in three to four days depending on frequency of use. Two to 4 pounds of ice
will be made in a 24-hour period with a 0°F to 2°F freezer food temperature.
12. To temporarily meet demands for increased ice production, turn freezer control to colder setting.
Return freezer control to normal setting as soon as possible.
Water dispenser operates as f ollows:
1. The reservoir is located in the refrigerator section directly behind the crisper drawers. The reservoir
inlet tube comes from a solenoid valve mounted on the rear cabinet rail.
2. The reservoir holds approximately 40 ounces of water.
3. The outlet tube exits through the refrigerator floor and travels through a conduit foamed into the
cabinet bottom to a location just short of the freezer door bottom hinge. 5/16 inch tube is reduced
to 1/4 inch by means of a coupling. The tube enters the freezer door through the center of the
hinge pin and runs up the left flange of the door and crosses over the top of the cavity behind the
water dispensing lever.
following glasses, since the water tube leading to the dispenser from the water reser voir is not
refrigerated.

NOTE: The first glass of water will be somewhat warmer than
4. The reservoir is filled by holding a glass against water the lever arm until water flo ws into a glass .
5. If household plumbing has been disturbed, thoroughly flush the water system. This will help
remove foreign materials in the water and also flush plumbing in refrigerator.
