Drier
The drier is positioned vertically in the center of the
machine compartment. A short jumper tube runs from the
drier to the 3-way valve behind it. The standard
replacement drier is WR86X93. Use the fi lter drier
WR86X96 if the system has been contaminated.
Note: When the compressor fi rst cycles off, the drier
surface may have moisture beads and feel cold to the
touch. This is normal due to the refrigerant equalizing
through the evaporators.
3-Way Valve
The 3-way valve directs the refrigerant fl ow to the two
evaporators as needed, and is controlled by the power
control board (PCB). It is located on the right side of the
condenser, behind the condenser’s front plate.
The 3-way valve is held in place by 2 Phillipshead
screws.
The valve is composed of a magnetic coil and
valve body.
Testing
To test whether the 3-way valve is receiving asignal from
the power control board:
1. Turn the power OFF at the main switch for atleast 10
seconds.
2. Place a fi nger on top of the valve.
Caution: Be careful of the condenser fan and any
exposed wires.
3. Turn the main switch back on. You should feel
movement, and you may hear the 3-way valve move to
the home position.
4. If movement is detected, the power control board and
valve coil should be OK.
