EVAPORATOR

Evaporator is listed as part 02-4655-09 for ice machine replacement and service work. Replace this part when you see ice not releasing, visible damage, cracks, corrosion, stripped fasteners, or a component that won’t stay seated. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. A short post-repair check—visual inspection plus a full cycle—helps confirm the issue is resolved without introducing new leaks or noise. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Evaporator-side parts influence freezing and harvest. Wear here can lead to uneven ice, poor release, or reduced output. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. If the part interacts with water, do a leak check during the first run and again after a short operating period. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. Clean the area around the repair so debris doesn’t interfere with fitment or sealing surfaces. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.
