B. Component Service Information

NOTICE

When replacing a component listed below, see the notes to help ensure proper

operation.

Component

Notes

Compressor

1 phase: Install a new start capacitor, run capacitor, and start relay.

3 phase: Install a new magnetic contactor.

Thermostatic

Expansion

Valves

• Attach the thermostatic expansion valve bulb to the suction line in the same location as

the previous bulb.

• The bulb should be between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions on the tube.
• Secure the bulb with the clamp and holder, then insulate it.

Hot Gas Valves

Liquid Line

Valves

• Replace the strainer if applicable.
• Use copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing valve lines.

Fan Motors

Install a new capacitor.

Pump Motor

Install a new capacitor.

Thermistor

• Attach the new thermistor to the suction line in the same location as the previous

thermistor.

• The thermistor should be at the 12 o'clock position on the tube.

• Smoothly fill the recessed area of the thermistor holder with high thermal conductive

type sealant. Type : KE-4560 G (manufactured by ShinEtsu Silicones), or equivalent are

recommended.

• Secure the thermistor with the holder, then insulate it.
• Be very careful to prevent damage to the leads.
