Re: How to remove Ice Maker enclosure

Re: How to remove Ice Maker enclosure
yea, I took the icemaker out
but can not see underneath it. there is a floor (shelf)that it sits on
I need to get underneath what the icemaker sits in. All that stuff that the ice maker sits in, I can not see what is below it.
It needs to be moved, or I need to cut a hole in the floor of that unit the ice maker is sitting in to find the wall/floor of the deck that is leaking

Re: How to remove Ice Maker enclosure
Open the door to the ice maker and wiggle it up and down as you pull it towards yourself and the ice maker, alone, will come out. The water line and power cord have enough slack in them to allow pulling the unit out enough to unplug power and disconnect water.

Re: How to remove Ice Maker enclosure
Thanks. I got the Ice Maker out yesterday. I knew how to slide that out
Someone 5200'd what looks to be marine plywood with a layer of that fake shiny linoleum to the floor of the enclose.
Spent a couple hours trying to get all that rooted wood out of the cabinet so I could get the the original floor of the enclosure. (5200 sure sticks mighty good) Got most of the wood out, but could see no way to get to the underneath of this enclosures to see what / where the hole in the wall / floor is. Water is running down the wall to the day head below it.
So today, out comes the skill saw and I'm cutting the bottom out of the damn thing so I can see what is underneath it. The hole that is underneath it must be pretty big by the way water will flow into the ceiling of the shower and run down the walls, then flood the masters carpet and passageway. (yea, I think I over did it with the water hose hahaha)

Re: How to remove Ice Maker enclosure
I would be very careful in what you cut. The marine plywood with linoleum was installed by Hatteras. Once I got it out, there was only a sealed fiberglass bottom. My leak was from the buildup of water soaked plywood and then it backed up and went over the back edge through a hole into the wall cavity. As I previously outlined in an earlier post, I sealed the hold into the wall cavity and painted the entire interior cabinet with an epoxy paint. Again, study it closely.

Re: How to remove Ice Maker enclosure
Yep, same.
I ripped out that first layer. Then re-glassed a new layer all the way up to the edge so that water only has one way out. over the lip of the cabinet. Took a water hose and flooded that area. NO LEAKS.
Now on to the other 9000 holes what have been drilled from whatever purpose / item was mounted.
