1. During normal operation, certain components can fail independently with no cascading effect to other ice and water related components. These components are listed below: a. Water Valve b. Auger Motor c. Cube/crush Solenoid

2. During normal operation, other components fail with a cascading effect. These components are listed below with the related disabled components:

a. Freezer Door Switch – disables Auger

Motor, Cube/crush solenoid, Flapper

solenoid

b. Paddle Micro-switch – disables Water

Valve, Auger Motor, Cube/crush solenoid,

Flapper solenoid, automatic led illumination

c. Flapper Solenoid – disables Auger Motor,

Cube/crush solenoid

d. Flapper Micro-switch – disables Auger

Motor, Cube/crush solenoid

3. During normal operation, the dispenser pocket will be lit by a pair of LED’s on the ice and water module. The LED’s can be set to be on 100% of the time thru the UI or on when the paddle is pressed for ice or water.

Verify that the LED’s function properly prior to entering service mode below.

4. Definitions:

a. ERF2500++ – main board located under
