9. Install sealed system access valve(s) and recover
refrigerant. After recovering, be sure to cap off the
access valve to prevent contamination of the system.
10.Remove the fan by removing the two nuts on the fan
mounting bracket at the baseplate. The fan wire
leads can be left connected. Set the fan assembly to
the side of the mechanical.
11. Remove the three nuts retaining the side of the fan
shroud. Remove the fan shroud.
12.Un-braze the capillary tube from the drier assembly.
13.Un-braze the hot gas valve tube at the tee on the
drier assembly.
14.Un-braze and remove the drier assembly.
15.Un-braze the hot gas line from the compressor at the
top of the condenser coil.
Condenser Installation:
Reverse the removal procedure. Be sure to evacuate to
50 microns before weight charging. If contamination
was found or determined, the evaporator should also
be replaced at this time.
Drain Valve Removal:
1. Drain water in the reservoir by removing the drain
plug or shutting off the water supply and allowing ice
maker to cycle through ice harvest cycle. Replace the
drain plug, if used, after the water has been drained.
2. Disconnect power, water line, and drain line. If a drain
pump is used, it will need to be disconnected and
removed.
3. Remove the access panel and rear panel.
4. Remove the brown and white wire terminals at the
drain valve.
5. Loosen the hose clamps on each side of the drain
valve .
6. Remove the two screws securing the drain valve.
7. Remove the drain valve.
Drain Valve Installation:
Reverse the removal procedure for installation. It is
important to keep the valve clean during installation
to assure proper performance. After installation,
make certain the hose clamps are secure and that
the valve or the tubing does not leak. This can be
done by adding water to the reservoir and observing
for any leaks from the tubing connections or the valve
itself.
Water Valve Removal:
1. Disconnect power, water line, and drain line.
2. Remove the access panel and rear panel.
3. Remove the blue and white wire terminals at the
water valve.
4. Loosen the reservoir water supply line compression
nut from the bottom of the water valve.
5. Remove the two screws securing the water valve to
the units support pan.
6. Remove the water valve.
Water Valve Installation:
Reverse the removal procedure for installation. Make
certain that the reservoir waterline is in the reservoir
inside the unit and there are no water leaks anywhere
after installation.
Condenser Fan Removal:
1. Disconnect power, water line, and drain line. If a drain
pump is used, it will need to be disconnected and
removed.
2. Remove the access panel and rear panel.
3. Remove the grille by removing the two screws and
disconnecting the three wires to the rocker switch. Be
sure to mark where these wires go for re-assembly.
4. Remove the drain valve.
5. Remove the water valve.
6. Take out the two screws that secure the top of the
electrical bracket located in the front of the
mechanical area.
7. Remove the six screws that secure the baseplate to
the cabinet on the bottom of the unit.
8. Gently slide the mechanical out the rear of the unit
enough to gain access to the condenser fan.
9. Remove the two nuts that secure the condenser fan.
10.Disconnect the neutral white wire lead (black ribbed
wire) at the terminal block and the hot wire lead
(black smooth wire) at the electronic control.
11. Remove the condenser fan.
Condenser Fan Installation:
Reverse the removal procedure for installation.
Evaporator Thermistor Removal:
1. Remove any ice and drain the reservoir by pulling the
drain plug.
2. Disconnect power, water line, and drain line.
3. Remove the access panel and rear panel from the
rear of the unit.
4. Disconnect the red and black wires to the
EVAPORATOR THERMISTOR terminals on the
electronic control.
5. From inside the unit, remove the escutcheon panel.
6. Remove the grid-cutter.
7. Remove the ice deflector.
8. Remove the reservoir.
9. Remove the evaporator thermistor by removing the
screw securing it.
