Description of objects for repairing

Repairing procedure

Safety First

• Unplug the refrigerator or turn off the power at the circuit breaker to avoid electrical shock.
• Turn off the water supply to the icemaker to prevent leaks.

Tools You May Need

• Screwdriver (Phillips or flat-head as required)
• Nut driver or socket wrench
• Towel (to catch any dripping water)

Replacing the Icemaker

• Open the Freezer: Access the icemaker within your Viking Refrigerator. Depending on the model, it might be located in different areas, but often it’s in the upper part of the freezer.
• Remove the Ice Bin: Take out any ice bin or storage to get a clear access to the icemaker.
• Disconnect the Power Connector:
  • Locate the power connector that links the icemaker to the refrigerator. This might be a wire harness.
  • Carefully disconnect the connector by pressing on the side tabs or unscrewing it, depending on the model.
• Remove the Icemaker:
  • Look for mounting screws or brackets that hold the icemaker in place. These are usually found on the top and maybe the side.
  • Use a screwdriver or a nut driver to remove these screws.
  • Gently pull the icemaker out. There might be a water supply line connected to the icemaker. If so, ensure it’s disconnected before fully removing the icemaker. Be prepared with a towel in case any water spills.
• Prepare the New Icemaker:
  • If your new icemaker came with a new wire harness, compare it with the old one. Use the one that matches your refrigerator’s connector.
  • Make sure any shut-off arm or other components from the old icemaker are transferred to the new one if they’re not included with your replacement.
• Install the New Icemaker:
  • Carefully slide the new icemaker into place, making sure the water supply line (if present) is properly connected to the icemaker.
  • Secure the icemaker with the previously removed screws or brackets.
  • Reconnect the power connector.
• Replace the Ice Bin: Once the new icemaker is securely in place, put back any ice bin or storage compartment you removed.
• Turn On the Water Supply and Power: Restore the water supply to the icemaker and plug in the refrigerator or turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
• Check for Operation: After installation, monitor the icemaker to ensure it’s producing ice. It may take a few hours for ice production to start.

Final Tips

• Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific model. There may be additional steps or precautions necessary.
• Ensure all connections, especially the water line, are secure to prevent leaks.
• If you encounter issues during installation or the icemaker does not function after installation, consult with a professional technician for assistance.
