WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.

of the fascia and twist the blade to release.
Pull out the bottom of the fascia and roll up to release the
hooks on the top of the fascia.
Remove the ¼ screw securing the ice maker assembly to
the top of the cabinet.

move the ice maker assembly and rest on the shelf.

ice maker assembly.

leakage into the refrigerator compartment. This feature will carry over into all 27’ FD
refrigerators beginning March 2010 production.
*Always refer to Service Sheet and Use and Care Manual for information specic to the refrigerator you are servicing.
