procedure.
1. Check and replace any gaskets that are damaged on
the Ice Maker Housing.
2. Hold the Housing up to the Air Handler and insert
the Air Handler wiring harness into the Housing from the
rear. Figure 6-71.
3. Slide the Housing onto the Air handler so that the
back of the housing is supported by the Air Handler.
4. Insert the two wiring harnesses through the square
hole at the top, front of the Housing. Figure 6-71.
5. Push the Housing into position all the way against
the back of the fresh food liner and up into the top, left
corner of the fresh food compartment.
6. Install the screws in the front of the Housing.

Ice Maker Replacement
Disconnect power from the unit before performing this
procedure.
1. After completing the Ice Maker Removal procedure,
route the Air Handler harness along the top of the Ice
Maker as shown in figure 6-72. The harness must be
placed in the channel along the top of the ice maker and
hooked underneath the tab on the ice maker frame.
IMPORTANT: Failure to properly route the harness
can lead to ice maker failure due to the harness getting
tangled in the plastic twist-tray as it rotates.
2. Hold the end of the harness with one hand, and the
ice maker with the other. Pull the harness to slide it
through the channel and keep the slack out of it as you
install the ice maker onto the four shoulder screws in the
top of the Ice Maker Housing.
