7) Grasp the top of the auger and move the
auger towards you and then try to insert a
.02" round stock or pin gauge in between
the back side of the auger shaft and the
bearing surface. See Fig. 11. Check several
locations around the auger shaft. If the
gauge goes between the shaft and the
bearing at any point or if the bearing is
scratched or cracked, both the top bearing
in the extruding head and the lower
bearing in the housing should be replaced.
Instructions for removing the extruding
head and housing are located later in this
procedure.
Note: Replacing the bearing requires a bearing press adaptor. If one is not available,
replace the entire extruding head and housing.

9) Plug the unit into the electrical outlet, then move the power switch to the "ON" position
to start the automatic icemaking process.
