1. Disconnect the power from the dispenser by unplugging
the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the two screws
located on both sides of the ice chute.
3. With the screws out remove the front panel by grasping
both sides and pulling towards you until it is clear of the
ice chute, then pull the panel up and out.
4. Remove the metal outer bracket clip, then use your
thumbs to spread the bracket and unhinge the ice chute
from the bracket pins.
5. Lift the door lock and rotate the ice chute clockwise
while pulling towards you in a slightly downward motion
to complete removal.
6. Put the new ice chute into place by lifting the door lock
and door lock assembly. Rotate the chute counter
clockwise in an up and away from you motion, but do
not snap the bracket pins into place. Rest the chute on
top of the pins. This is so you can angle the longer chute
through the chute opening as you put the front panel
back on the dispenser.
7. Place the bottom edge of the front panel on the lower
brackets of the dispenser so that the front panel can be
put back into position with a “scissor” like motion while
simultaneously angling the ice chute through the front
panel opening.
