Component Teardown

COMPONENT TEARDOWN

This section explains how to access and remove components from an Electrolux French Door Bottom Freezer 
Refrigerator, and has been arranged in such a way as to simulate which components would need to be removed 
first in order to gain access to other components.  When following a component removal procedure, it may be 
necessary to reference another component removal procedure listed earlier in this section.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

 Before continuing, please take note of the 

WARNINGS

 and 

CAUTIONS

 below.

  -  IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE A FRENCH DOOR BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR UNIT FROM 
 

ITS INSTALLATION, USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES AS UNITS ARE HEAVY AND COULD FALL 
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.  PULLING A UNIT FROM ITS INSTALLATION SHOULD 
ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A TRAINED AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR INSTALLER.

 -  TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, POWER TO A FRENCH DOOR BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR  

MUST BE DISCONNECTED WHENEVER ACCESSING AND/OR REMOVING COMPONENTS POWERED 
BY ELECTRICITY OR COMPONENTS NEAR OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

 -  AFTER SERVICE IS COMPLETED, BE SURE ALL SAFETY-GROUNDING CIRCUITS ARE COMPLETE, 

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE SECURE, AND ALL ACCESS PANELS ARE IN PLACE.

 -  IF UNIT WAS USED PRIOR TO SERVICE, THE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY WILL BE HOT. 
 

WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY GEAR WHEN WORKING WITH 

 COMPRESSORS.

 -  IF REMOVING A DOOR OR DRAWER FROM A UNIT, REMEMBER THAT DOORS AND DRAWERS ARE 

HEAVY.  IF THEY WERE TO FALL,  THEY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

 -  Metal edges may be sharp.  Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when servicing 
 

evaporators and condensers to avoid personal injury.

 -  If working in the compressor area, remember that compressor and tubing may be hot.

When handling and or replacing a control board it is important that the technician have a wrist ground 
strap on and connected to the cabinet or another grounding position to prevent static electricity from 
damaging the board.
