11.7. Replacing the compressor
The compressor used in the dehumidifier is durable and should last for many years
without failure or need for service. In the unlikely event of compressor failure, the
compressor can be replaced by competent refrigeration technician.
Failure of the compressor can be confirmed by the following procedure:
1.
If the compressor does not run, check that power is reaching the compressor with a
volt meter.
2.
If power is reaching the compressor, check that the thermal overload switch is
functioning properly. Reset as necessary and check for normal operation.
3.
Next step is to check the start capacitor.
4.
If all of these checks do not identify faulty components, the compressor will need to be
replaced. Contact Ideal Air Support for next steps.
11.8.
Replacing the capillary tube
When one or both of the capillary expansion tubes is blocked, you will see that only half
of the evaporator coils is freezing. Upon closer inspection, you may notice that icing
present on one of the capillaries tubes. Failure of the capillary tube can be confirmed by
the following procedure (NOTE—an experienced refrigeration technician is required):
1.
Take off the capillary tubes and drain out any refrigerant present.
2.
Introduce pressurized air into the tube to clean out the capillary tube further. If air
does not pass through the capillary tubes, one or both are blocked and need to be
replaced.
3.
