REPAIRS
1.
Should an electrical component fail, consult the Factory Service
Center to obtain the proper replacement part.
2.
If refrigerant gas is lost from the machine, it will be necessary to use
a refrigeration technician to correct the fault. Contact the Factory
Service Center prior to initiating this action.
Any competent refrigeration technician will be able to service the
equipment. The following procedure must be used:
a. The source of the leak must be determined and corrected.
b. The machine should be thoroughly evacuated before
recharging.
c. The unit must be recharged with refrigerant measured
accurately by weight.
d. For evacuation and recharging of the machine, use the crimped
and brazed charging stub attached to the side of the refrigerant
compressor.
The charging stub should be crimped and rebrazed after
servicing.
N
EVER
allow permanent service valves to be fitted to
any part of the circuit. Service valves may leak causing further
loss of refrigerant gas.
3.
The refrigerant compressor fitted to the dehumidifier is a durable
unit that should give many years of service. Compressor failure can
result from the machine losing its refrigerant gas. The compressor
can be replaced by a competent refrigeration technician.
Failure of the compressor can be confirmed by the following
procedure:
a. Establish that power is present at the compressor terminals
using a voltmeter.
b. With the power disconnected, check the continuity of the internal
winding by using meter across the compressor terminals. An
open circuit indicates that the compressor should be replaced.
c. Check that the compressor is not grounded by establishing that
a circuit does not exist between the compressor terminals and
the shell of the compressor.
