If you keep the Condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your
electrical costs. Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures
and excessive run times. Continuous operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result
in compressor failures.
Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY associated
with the compressor or cost to replace the compressor!
To put back the condensing unit in its place, slide in the unit carefully. BE SURE DRAIN PIPE IS
LOCATED OVER THE PAN. Replace front bottom panel.
6.2
GASKET
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the
elasticity of the gasket. Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid
full strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent
proper seals. Also, never use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could
possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of tools or authorized service persons.
The gaskets can be pulled out of the grove in the door and new gaskets can be “pressed” back
into place.
6.3
DOORS/HINGES
Over time and with heavy use doors the hinges may become loose. If it is noticed that the door
is beginning to sag, it may become necessary to tighten the screws that mount the hinge
brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or sagging this can cause the hinge to
pull out of the frame which may damage both the doors and the door hinges. In some cases this
can require qualified service agents or maintenance personnel.
6.4
DRAIN
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the
evaporator coil and evaporates it at an external condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can
become loose or disconnected from moving or bumping the drain. IF YOU NOTICE EXCESSIVE
WATER ACCUMULATION ON THE INSIDE OF THE UNIT be sure the drain tube is connected from
the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan. IF WATER IS COLLECTED
UNDERNEATH THE UNIT you may want to check the condensate evaporator drain tube to be
sure it is still located inside the drain pan. The leveling of the unit is important as the units are
designed to drain properly when on a level surface, if your floor is not level this can also cause
drain problems. Be sure all drain lines are free of obstructions; typically food product is found
blocking drain lines causing water to back up and overflow the drain pans.
