Freezer Compartment Thermistor (Model 601F)
The freezer compartment thermistor is attached to the
bottom center of the drain trough enclosure, just above
the top center freezer basket slide. (See Figure 7-37)
The thermistor wire leads attach to the wire harness
behind the drain trough enclosure. To access and
remove freezer compartment thermistor, the drain
trough enclosure must first be detached from the back
wall. Now, disconnect the thermistor wire leads from
the wire harness. Then extract the screw which
secures the thermistor to the drain trough enclosure.
Icemaker Assembly (Model 601F)
The icemaker assembly is located behind the top right
freezer basket, just below the glass shelf. (See Figure
7-37) To access and remove the icemaker assembly,
remove the top right freezer basket which contains the
ice bucket first. The ice level mechanism now needs to
be detached from the icemaker. This is done by sliding
the connecting rod to the right, off of the icemaker shut-
off arm, allowing the ice level arm to drop out of the
way. Now remove the mounting screw at the bottom
left of the icemaker which secures the icemaker bracket
to the drain trough enclosure. Extract the two mounting
screws at the top rear, above the icemaker mold; pull
the icemaker assembly forward and disconnect the
electrical leads from the icemaker. ( See Figure 7-38)
Fill Tube Heater (Model 601F)
The icemaker fill tube and fill tube heater are located at
top right of icemaker, just below the freezer glass shelf
and above the drain trough enclosure. (See Figure 7-
38) The icemaker fill tube heater plugs into the wire
harness behind the drain trough enclosure.
NOTE: To access the fill tube heater it is recommend-
ed, but not necessary, to remove the freezer glass
shelf.
To remove the fill tube heater, first remove the drain
trough enclosure. Disconnect the fill tube heater from
the wire harness and pull the fill tube and heater out as
one. Then, cut the cable tie which holds the heater to
the fill tube.
Drain Trough Enclosure (Model 601F)
The drain trough enclosure is located at the rear of the
compartment, just below the freezer glass shelf. (See
Figure 7-37)
NOTE: To access the drain trough enclosure it is rec-
ommended, but not necessary, to remove the freezer
glass shelf.
To remove the drain trough enclosure, extract the
mounting screw at the top of each corner and the
mounting screws along the bottom. Then, pull enclo-
sure forward.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the icemaker nor
freezer compartment thermistor in order to detach the
drain trough enclosure from the rear wall. But, the ice-
maker wire harness and thermistor electrical leads
behind the drain trough enclosure will need to be dis-
connected in order to remove enclosure completely.
