Electrolux EILFU17GS, Technical & Service Manual

Page: 28 / 96

A new compressor which is cold (e.g. after having
been kept in a cold service van) should be left to
warm to the surrounding temperature before the
plugs on the compressor connections are
removed. This will help prevent condensation from
forming in the oil and the compressor. Also, avoid
opening the system when any of the components
or lines are cold.
1. Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator.
2. Remove compressor access panel.
3. Remove all components needed to pull the
compressor assembly from the unit.
4. Pull compressor assembly straight out.
5. Recover refrigerant by using EPA approved
recovery system.
6. Remove leads from compressor motor
terminals.
7. Remove mounting clips and washers.
8. After refrigerant is completely recovered, cut
suction and discharge lines as close to
compressor as possible. Leave only enough
tubing to pinch off and seal defective
compressor. Plug or tape any open system
tubing to avoid entrance of moisture and air
into system. Remove inoperable
compressor and transfer mounting parts to
new compressor.
9. Install new compressor in exact same manner
as original compressor.

Replacement of compressor and installation of
filter-drier must be done in a continuous sequence
so system is exposed to atmosphere no longer
than necessary.
All replacement compressors are shipped with
rubber plugs in the suction, discharge and process
tubes and contain the correct oil charge and a
holding charge of inert gas. Compressors have a
low-side process tube attached to the compressor
shell. A high-side process tube is attached to the
filter-drier.
Replacement compressors for refrigerator may
have an oil cooler even if the original compressor
did not. If the product is not equipped for an oil
cooler, leave the plastic caps in place and install
the compressor connecting only to the suction and
discharge lines of the new compressor.
Before installing the replacement compressor
remove the discharge plug and check for the pop
sound of the inert gas leaving the compressor.
If the compressor checks OK, reinstall the plug.
Do not remove any of the plugs again until the
compressor is in position and you are ready to
braze the lines.
