4. Start the refrigerator the day before ice cubes
are needed. When the refrigerator is started
(from room temperature), it is normal to take
as long as 24 hours to become cold enough
to make the first batch of ice cubes.
5. Always discard the first batch of cubes made
in a new ice maker. The new plumbing lines
and connections may cause discolored and
bad tasting ice. The ice maker will make up
to 3 lbs. of ice in 24 hours, if the freezer tem-
perature is 14 F or below.
6. To remove the ice bin, raise the automatic
shut-off arm (off). When returning the ice
bin to the freezer, remember to lower the
shut-off arm (on). If the arm is up, the ice
maker will not operate.
Shut-Down of Ice Maker
To turn the ice maker off, simply raise the
shutoff arm.
Winterizing the Ice Maker
When winterizing, make sure the water line
is completely drained by following this proce-
dure.
1. Drain coach water lines. See Sect. 10.
2. Open drain valve at the rear of the refrigera-
tor (on outside of coach).
3. Let the ice maker run through a cycle, then
move the shut-off position.
4. Drain water again at the refrigerator drain
Start-Up (Removing from Storage)
1. Close all drain valves.
2. Turn the water supply on.
3. Be sure the ice bin is in place and the auto-
matic shutoff arm is down.
4. Let the refrigerator cool down to ice making
temperature. Remember, this can take up to
24 hours.
5. Let the ice maker cycle and dump the first
batch of ice.
Troubleshooting the Ice Maker
1. Is 110-Volt AC reaching the refrigerator?
A. Ice maker motor needs 110VAC to oper-
ate.
B. Be sure refrigerator power cord is
plugged in.
C. Check appropriate breaker on 110VAC
breaker panel.
2. Is 12-Volt DC reaching the refrigerator?
A. Refrigerator eyebrow control and power
supply board both need 12VDC to oper-
ate.
B. Check 12V fuse or breaker on converter
panel
3. Is water supply pressure at least 15 psi,
but no more than 125 psi?
A. If not enough, turn city water faucet open
further or check for blockage.
B. If too much, attach water pressure regula-
tor.
4. Is the water supply inlet valve on?
A. If not enough, turn city water faucet open
further or check for blockage.
B. If too much, attach water pressure regula-
tor.
5. Is the freezer compartment temperature
14° F or lower?
A. Turn refrigerator temperature control to
colder setting, if needed.
6. Is the ice maker’s automatic shut-off arm
in the down (on) position?
A. If arm is not down, ice maker will not
operate.
7. Has it been at least 24 hours since the
refrigerator was turned on?
A. If not, allow more time.
B. If so, refer to Norcold refrigerator freezer
troubleshooting procedures in your dealer
