7. Removing the four-way valve
(1) Remove the service panel. (See Figure 1)
(2) Remove the top panel. (See Figure 1)
(3) Remove the electrical parts box. (See Photo 3)
(4)
Remove 3 valve bed fixing screws (4 × 10) and 4 ball valve
and stop valve fixing screws (5 × 16) and then remove the
valve bed.
(5)
Remove 3 right side panel fixing screws (5 × 10) in the
rear of the unit and then remove the right side panel.
(6) Remove the solenoid valve coil <Four-way valve>.
(See Photo 6)
(7) Collect the refrigerant.
(8) Remove the welded part of four-way valve.
Note 1: Recover refrigerant without spreading it in the air.
Note 2: The welded part can be removed easily by
removing the right side panel.
Note 3: When installing the four-way valve, cover it with a wet
cloth to prevent it from heating (120°C or more), then
braze the pipes so that the inside of pipes are not
oxidized.
8. Removing the linear expansion valve
(1) Remove the service panel. (See Figure 1)
(2) Remove the top panel. (See Figure 1)
(3) Remove the electrical parts box. (See Photo 3)
(4)
Remove 3 valve bed fixing screws (4 × 10) and 4 ball valve
and stop valve fixing screws (5 × 16) and then remove the
valve bed.
(5)
