6. Disconnect limiter and defrost heater.
7. Clean end of suction line and cap tube. Straighten and
slightly bend toward front of cabinet.
8. Cut small “X” in heat shield and slide cap tube and
suction line through hole. Pack heat shield in top
corner of liner. (See Figure 2.) You may want to use
small pair of vise-grips on suction line to help hold
heat shield in place.
Cut small hole in
middle of the
shield.
Place shield
over heat
exchanger and
push into top
corner of liner.

9. Install defrost heater in new evaporator and set inside
freezer. Do not push all the way in place. Sit
evaporator 2 to 3 inches out from liner. This will allow
additional room for welding. (See Figure 3.)
Make your weld
on cap tube first.
Now make your
weld on suction
line.

EVAPORATOR REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Remove any component part from
the interior of the cabinet before attempting to
solder. The excessive heat from soldering will
warp the plastic liner.
The evaporator is located in the upper section of the
freezer and is secured to the drain pan by top and bottom
brackets. Styrofoam blocks are located on each side,
directly across from each other, to ensure proper air flow
through the evaporator.
The heat exchanger on this style of refrigerator is in the
insulation between the back of the food liner and the back
of the cabinet. Because of this, you will not be able to
remove the heat exchanger with the evaporator. You will
make your line welds inside the freezer compartment.
The kit contains a heat shield to protect the liner from
damage when making your line welds.
1. Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator.
2. Remove all freezer section shelves and baskets.
3. Recover refrigerant using EPA approved recovery
system.
4. Remove evaporator coil cover.
5. Cut suction line between weld and evaporator. Using
file, score and break cap tube just above weld. (See
Figure 1.)
This kit contains:
1 Evaporator 1 Heat shield
1 Drier-Filter 1 Instruction Sheet
To replace
evaporator, cut
suction line at
this point.
