Unit wiring diagrams
This model operates at 115 Volts, except for the cutter grid
circuit which operates at 8.5 Volts at 1 Amp. Maximum fuse
size used should be 15 amps.
The compressor runs at all times except when the bin
thermostat is satisfied. This de-energizes the system except
for the transformer and cutter grid.
Under normal operating conditions, when the evaporator
reaches the preset temperature (10°F [-12°C] to -3°F
[-19°C], depending on ice thickness), the evaporator
thermostat opens, terminating operation of the fan motor
and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the water valve
solenoid are energized at this time and remain energized
until the evaporator reaches 38°F (3°C).

ENGLISH
Connect to the drain
(observe local codes)
1. The unit is provided with a gravity-drain system.
2. The ideal installation has a standpipe (1
1
⁄4" [32 cm]
minimum) installed directly below the outlet of the drain
tube.
3. It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up
to the drain inlet.
4. Replace the lower access panel and the screws.
5. Plug into 3 prong grounded outlet.
Alternate method:
If a drain connection directly below the drain tube outlet is not
available, install a UL listed drain pump in the rear compart-
ment of the ice maker.
Drain pump specifications:
• UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire,
grounded service cord.
• Overall outside dimensions (maximum): 15" (38 cm) wide x
6" (15 cm) deep x 9
1
⁄2" (24 cm) high.
• Pump flow rate (minimum): 0.4 gpm @ 12 ft. lift.
• Operating temperature range: 55°F to 110°F.
Checking operation
• Start the unit by turning the Cycle Control to ON and
opening the water line valve.
NOTE: Left is OFF – Middle is ON – Right is CLEAN. In the
CLEAN position, only the water pump operates.
• Use a flashlight to look through the space between the
cutter grid and liner to check for even water flow over the
freezing plate. Unit must be level for proper operation.
6
Connect to water
(observe local codes)
1. Use
1
⁄4" (6 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water
supply.
2. Provide a convenient manual shut-off valve in the
water line. Do not use a piercing-type or
3
⁄16-inch saddle
valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
NOTE: Always purge the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve to prevent
possible water valve malfunction.
3. Position the tubing so it can enter the access hole
located at the right hand rear of the cabinet. The tubing
should extend beyond the cabinet front when the
cabinet is pushed back into position.
NOTE: After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to
meet the connection at the water valve. The garden hose-
threaded compression fitting is found in the parts bag
which is shipped under the ice scoop. This joint
provides a convenient disconnect for servicing. Be sure
the tubing is clear of compressor to prevent rattle.
Leveling the ice maker
1. After placing unit in position, check to make certain the
unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Accurate
leveling is important for proper operation.
2. Unit should be shimmed so that it is solid as well as level.
The shims should be of hard, permanent-type material.
3. If required by sanitation code, seal the cabinet to the floor
with an approved caulking compound after all water and
electrical connections have been made.

ENGLISH
• Water will not enter the pump pan until the freezing plate
gets cold. Then the machine goes into a harvest cycle.
• Check for desired cube thickness. Adjust after 24 hours if
necessary. Best operation is obtained with ice thickness at
1
⁄2" (13 mm) to
5
⁄8" (16 mm).
Changing the door panels
Both Kenmore models 86485 and 86482 are equipped with
a double-sided decorator panel for both the bin door and the
lower access panel. The decorator panel is white on one side
and black on the other. The Kenmore model 86485 is also
equipped with a single-sided wood grain panel. You can
make custom panels to match your existing cabinet.

CYCLE
How the ice maker
makes ice
1. Water constantly circulates over a freezing plate. As the
water freezes into ice, minerals in the water are rejected.
This produces a clear sheet of ice with a low mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the ice sheet is
released and slides onto a cutter grid. The grid divides the
sheet into individual cubes.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals is drained
after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the unit for the next ice making
cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the bin is full, the
ice maker shuts off automatically and restarts when
more ice is needed.
NOTE: A normal harvest cycle takes 1 to 2 minutes.
8
Things to remember
• Water enters only during the defrost cycle. Therefore, the
first cycle will be completed without water in the system.
• As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the
amount of ice produced. This means that higher operating
temperatures result in reduced ice production.
• The unit shuts off when ice in the storage bin touches the
bin thermostat. The unit will automatically cycle to keep the
storage bin full.
• The storage bin is not refrigerated and some melting will
occur. This varies with the room temperature.
• The unit needs good air circulation to perform efficiently.
Periodically clean the condenser and grille. If the ice maker
is located on a hard floor surface or there are pets in the
home the condensor should be cleaned every 4-6 weeks for
optimum performance.
• The water system needs to be cleaned periodically for good
circulation. See “Cleaning and sanitizing the ice making
system” section.
Setting the controls
1. Select ice thickness. The ice maker has been preset to
produce ice approximately
1
⁄2" (13 mm) thick, while operat-
ing in a room temperature of 70°F (21°C).
NOTE: Operation in different room temperatures may
require readjusting the Ice Thickness Control toward
THICK or THIN. Best performance is obtained with ice
1
⁄2"
(13 mm) to
5
⁄8" (16 mm) thick. If operating in a warm room
(above 90°F [32°C]), DO NOT set Ice Thickness Control to
the maximum thickness or the unit may malfunction.
2. To start normal ice making cycle, turn Cycle Control to ON.
3. To stop ice making cycle, turn Cycle Control to OFF.
4. The CLEAN setting is used whenever solutions are
circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the
water pump operates at this setting. See “Cleaning and
sanitizing the ice making system” section.
Operating Instructions
Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it
operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature failure
of system components.
Both the ice making system and the air-cooled condenser
need to be cleaned regularly. If the ice maker is located on a
hard floor surface or there are pets in the home the
condenser may require cleaning every 4-6 weeks for optimum
performance.
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces
ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended
operating temperatures which may lead to component failure.
All components of the ice maker are permanently lubricated
at the factory. They should not require any additional oiling
throughout the normal life of the machine.
Cleaning exterior surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel cabinet surfaces and gaskets with
warm water and mild soap or detergent. Rinse and dry.
Regular use of a good household-appliance cleaner and
wax will help protect the finish. Treat wood grain panels as
furniture.
NOTE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on the enamel
surfaces – they may scratch the finish.
Cleaning and sanitizing
the ice making system
The minerals rejected from the circulating water in the freez-
ing cycle will eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the
water system which prevents the rapid release of ice.
Clean ice making system periodically to remove mineral scale
buildup. Frequency of cleaning depends on water hardness.
With soft water, cleaning may not be required for several
years. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal.), cleaning may be
required as often as every 6 months.
1. Turn Cycle Control to OFF.
2. Open bin door, remove the two thumb screws and slide
the ice cutter grid out of the two slots near the water pan.
3. Unplug the electrical harness. Any ice on the cutter grid
should be melted under running warm water. Attempting
to pick the ice slab from the grid may stretch and
damage the grid wires.

General Cleaning and Care
4. Remove all ice from the storage bin and the freezing
plate.
5. Drain the water pan by removing the drain plug and then
replacing it.
6. Pour
1
⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) of hot tap water into the water pan
and turn the Cycle Control to CLEAN. This warms up the
system to make the cleaning solution more effective. Let
circulate for 5 minutes.
While tap water is circulating, prepare the cleaning
solution. Mix:
6 oz. (170 g) powdered citric or phosphoric acid
1
⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) hot water
(Citric and phosphoric acid crystals are available from
many pharmacies or scientific supply houses.)
NOTE: Commercial Ice Machine cleaners (liquid) are
also available from refrigeration parts supply stores.
Mix according to instructions on label (total quantity =
1
⁄2 gallon [1.9 L]).
7. Turn Cycle Control to OFF and drain tap water. (See
Step 5.)
8. Turn Cycle Control to CLEAN and slowly pour hot
cleaning solution into the water pan. If the solution
foams while pouring, wait until foaming stops. Then
add balance of solution.
Allow solution to circulate until the scale has dissolved
(15 to 30 minutes). Severe scale buildup may require
repeated cleaning with fresh cleaning solution.
NOTE: To clean scale off the freezing plate flanges of
the freezing plate, use rubber gloves and scrub with a
plastic scrubbing pad or non-soapfilled stainless steel
pad dipped in the cleaning solution.
9. Turn Cycle Control to OFF and drain the cleaning solu-
tion. Use rubber gloves when removing the drain plug.
10. Replace the drain plug and add
1
⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) of fresh

11. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
Filtering and treating
water
In most areas, it will be beneficial to filter or treat the water
being supplied to the ice machine. It can improve the
reliability of the machine, reduce water maintenance, and
produce the best quality of ice.
The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will generally
reduce scale buildup and the ice machine will require less
frequent cleaning.
Municipal water systems are generally treated with chlorine
to maintain a safe, potable water supply. Activated carbon
filters will sufficiently remove the residual chlorine from the
water and reduce surface staining of stainless steel materi-
als in the ice machine.

Before Calling for Service
Self-service checklist
Performance problems often result from little things you can
find and fix yourself. Check the list below. It could save you
the cost of a service call.
Unit does not run:
• Cycle Control must be in the ON position.
• Check to see that the power cord is plugged in.
• Check for blown household fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
• Room temperatures must be above 55°F (13°C).
Otherwise, the bin thermostat may sense a cold room
temperature and shut off even though bin is not full of
ice. Also, unit may not restart once it does shut down.
Unit runs but produces no ice:
• Cycle Control must be in the ON position.
• Check water supply to make sure it is open.
• If ice maker is to be operated at an elevation of 2,000 feet
(600 m) or more above sea level, both the Bin Thermostat
and the Ice Thickness Thermostat will need to be
recalibrated. Call your dealer or an authorized service
group to have the necessary changes made.
Unit runs but produces very little ice:
• Room temperature may be extremely high – over 90°F
(32°C). In this case, it is normal for ice production to
be low.
• Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the finned
condenser. Condenser needs to be cleaned.
• Check to see if the unit has a scale buildup in the water
and freezing system. Clean, if necessary.
Cutter grid is not cutting ice sheets:
• Check the grid harness plug to make sure the connection
is secure.
Off-taste in ice cubes:
• There may be an unusually high mineral content in your
water supply. Water may need to be filtered.
• Do not store any foods in the storage bin.
• Make sure all packaging materials have been removed.

Diagramas del cableado de
la unidad
Este modelo funciona con 115V, exceptuando el circuito de la
rejilla de corte que funciona con 8,5V y 1 Amp. El amperaje
máximo del fusible usado debe ser 15 Amp.
El compresor funciona en todo momento exceptuando el
momento en que el termostato lo interrumpe. Esto desactiva
todo el sistema excepto el transformador y la rejilla de corte.
Bajo condiciones normales de funcionamiento, cuando el
evaporador alcanza la temperatura preestablecida (de 10°F
[-12°C] a -3°F [-19°C], dependiendo del espesor del hielo), el
termostato evaporador se abre apagando el motor del
ventilador y el de la bomba. El solenoide de gas caliente y el
solenoide de la válvula de agua permanecen activados en
este momento y permanecen así hasta que el evaporador
alcance los 38°F (3°C).

Conexión con el desagüe
(cumpla con los códigos locales)
1. La unidad tiene un sistema de desagüe por gravedad.
2. La instalación ideal tiene un tubo de circulación (de 1
1
⁄4
pulgs. [32 cm] como mínimo) puesto directamente por
debajo de la salida del tubo de desagüe.
3. Quizás sea preferible aislar bien la tubería de desagüe
hasta la entrada del drenaje.
4. Vuelva a colocar el panel de acceso inferior y los
tornillos.
5. Enchufe la unidad en un contacto de pared de conexión a
tierra de 3 terminales.
Método alternativo:
Si no se dispone de una conexión de desagüe directamente
ubicada debajo de la salida de la tubería de desagüe,
instale en el compartimiento posterior de la fábrica de hielo
una bomba de desagüe listada en la UL.
Especificaciones para la bomba de desagüe:
• Debe estar listada en la UL y tener un cable de 120 VCA,
de 3 alambres y con conexión a tierra.
•
Las dimensiones exteriores totales (máximas) son: 15 pulgs.
(38 cm) de ancho x 6 pulgs. (15 cm) de profundidad x 9
1
⁄2
pulgs. (24 cm) de altura.
• Gasto de la bomba (mínimo): 0,4 gpm a 12 pies de altura.
• Escala de temperaturas de funcionamiento: 55° F a 110° F.
Control del funcionamiento
• Haga funcionar la unidad poniendo el Control del Ciclo en la
posición “ON” y abriendo la válvula de la tubería de agua.

2. Haga girar a mano el ventilador para asegurarse de que se
mueva libremente.
3. Afloje algo los tornillos de mariposa que sostienen la rejilla
de corte y la bandeja de agua para facilitar la limpieza e
higienización del sistema de agua. Vea la sección
“Desmontaje y limpieza de las piezas interiores”
Conexión del agua
(cumpla con los códigos locales)
1. Utilice tuberías de cobre blando de
1
⁄4 de pulg. (6 mm) de
diámetro exterior para el suministro de agua fría.
2. Ponga en la tubería de agua una válvula de cierre manual
adecuada. No use válvulas perforadoras ni las de tipo de
montura de
3
⁄16 de pulg. porque reducen la corriente de
agua y se atascan con más facilidad.
NOTA: Siempre purgue las tuberías de agua antes de
hacer la conexión final con la válvula de entrada de agua
para prevenir el posible mal funcionamiento de la válvula
de agua.
3. Coloque la tubería de manera que entre en el orificio de
acceso localizado en el lado derecho de la parte trasera
del aparato. Cuando se empuja el aparato hacia atrás para
dejarlo en su posición, la tubería debe sobresalir del frente
del mismo.
NOTA: Luego de poner el aparato en su lugar doble la
tubería para unirla con la conexión en la válvula de agua.
El accesorio de manguera de compresión con rosca se
encuentra en la bolsa de accesorios debajo de la pala de
hielo. Este acoplamiento ofrece un medio conveniente de
desconexión cuando se hace el servicio. Asegúrese de que
la tubería no toque al compresor para evitar ruidos
molestos.
Nivelación de la fábrica de hielo
1. Luego de colocar la unidad en la posición deseada, com-
pruebe que el lado derecho y el izquierdo, el frente y la
parte de atrás estén nivelados. La nivelación precisa es
muy importante para que funcione adecuadamente.
2. La unidad debe estar calzada de manera de que esté firme
y nivelada. Las calzas deben ser de un material duro y
resistente.
3. Si el código de higiene lo requiere, selle el aparato al piso
con un compuesto de enmasillado aprobado, luego de
haber hecho todas las conexiones eléctricas y las de agua.
