Component Teardown
Auger Motor, Crusher Solenoid, and Fan
Disconnect power from the unit before performing this
procedure.
The Auger Motor is attached with 3 screws driven in from
the front of the Air Handler. Note that the top screw is
covered by a foam gasket.
1. After completing the Air Handler Removal procedure,
disconnect the purple and blue wires from the terminals
on the Auger Motor. Figure 6-62.
2. Unscrew the Auger Drive Bar. Note that it has left-
hand threads (turn right to loosen). Then remove the
three screws holding the Auger Motor to the Air Handler.
3. When replacing the Auger Motor, be sure to replace
the foam gasket that covers the topmost of the 3 screws.
The Crusher Solenoid is attached with two screws on
the front of the Air handler. The slides for the Solenoid
Plunger are built in to the Air Handler.
4. Remove the two screws and lift the Solenoid out of the
Air Handler and disconnect the blue and blue/white wires.
Figure 6-62.
5. When replacing the Solenoid, connect the blue and
blue/white wires, and then place the Solenoid in the Air
Handler and drive in the two screws. Note: The Solenoid
position must be adjusted so that the Plunger will operate
freely without binding, and will fall to its bottom position
under its own weight.
The Fan is held in only by the foam gaskets wrapped
around it. There are no screws.
6. To remove the Fan, grasp it by the blades, lift it out
of the Air Handler, and disconnect the lead wire. Figure
6-62.
7. To replace the Fan, connect the lead wire, and care-
fully push the fan into the square pocket in the Air Handler
as far as it will go.
Note: Use care that the foam gasket is compressed
evenly around the Fan as it is inserted into the square
pocket. Figure 6-63.
IMPORTANT: The Fan must be oriented so the airflow
is pulled in from the rear of the Air Handler and is pushed
out the front grid opening of the Air Handler.
Note: The fan must be oriented so that the lead wire is
placed in the notch in the partition beneath the fan.
Evaporator Housing Removal
Disconnect power from the unit before performing this
procedure.
The Evaporator Housing is slipped onto the Evaporator
from the bottom. There is a drain tube at the bottom of
the Evaporator that allows the defrost water to drain into
a conduit in the cabinet wall, and down into the drain pan
on the bottom of the unit. The Housing has an aluminum
liner inside against the front and right side walls to protect
the plastic Housing from the heat of the Defrost Heater.
