7. Removing the 4-way valve coil (21S4),
and linear expansion valve coil (LEV-A)
(1) Remove the service panel. (See Figure 1)
(2) Remove the top panel. (See Figure 1)
[Removing the 4-way valve coil]
(3) Remove 4-way valve coil fixing screw (M4 × 6).
(4) Remove the 4-way valve coil by sliding the coil toward you.
(5) Disconnect the connector 21S4 (green) on the controller
circuit board in the electrical parts box.
[Removing the linear expansion valve coil]
(3) Remove the linear expansion valve coil by sliding the coil
upward.
(4) Disconnect the connectors, LEV-A (white), on the
controller circuit board in the electrical parts box.
8. Removing the 4-way valve
(1) Remove the service panel. (See Figure 1)
(2) Remove the top panel. (See Figure 1)
(3) Remove 3 valve bed fixing screws (4 × 10), 4 ball valve
and stop valve fixing screws (5 × 16), then remove the
valve bed.
(4) Remove 4 right side panel fixing screw (5 × 12) in the
rear of the unit and then remove the right side panel.
(5) Remove the 4-way valve coil. (See Photo 7)
(6) Recover refrigerant.
(7) Remove the welded part of 4-way valve.
Note 1: Recover refrigerant without spreading it in the air.
Note 2: The welded part can be removed easily by remov-
ing the right side panel.
Note 3: When installing the 4-way valve, cover it with a
wet cloth to prevent it from heating (250˚F or more),
then braze the pipes so that the inside of pipes
are not oxidized.
