Condenser Service

The condenser is foamed in place and is not accessible
for repair.  However, repair can be made by installing a 
service replacement condenser kit.  Refer to the part list
of the model being serviced for the correct kit part
number.

Each service replacement condenser kit consists of a
condenser assembly that can be installed on the back of
the cabinet, mounting hardware, replacement filter-drier
and a complete installation instructions.

To install, use the following procedure:

1.

Disconnect unit from source of power.

2.

Recover refrigerant by using EPA approved 
recovery system.

3.

Installed the replacement condenser in accordance
with the instructions included with the kit.

4. Evacuate and charge a system using the 

recommended procedure described under 
evacuation and recharging found in section 4.
