Heat Exchanger (601R-2, 601RG-2, 601F-2)
NOTE:
When replacing a heat exchanger, the filter-
drier must also be replaced.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to pull the unit from its
installation in order to replace a heat exchanger. The
heat exchanger travels through tubing channel which is
foamed into the rear wall of the unit.
After capturing the refrigerant from the sealed system
(See Figures 7-155, 7-156 and 7-157):
1.
Extract screws which hold evaporator to rear wall.
2.
Pull bottom of evaporator up and rotate heat
exchanger out.
3.
With a file, score a line around capillary tube, 1” or
less from evaporator inlet, then fatigue capillary
tube at this line until it separates.
4.
With a tube-cutter, cut evaporator outlet 1” or less
from accumulator (if applicable), or 1” or less from
suction line connection point.
5.
With a tin snips, or similar tool, cut heat exchanger
in compartment as close to tubing channel as pos-
sible.
6.
In lower compressor area, use a tube-cutter to cut
drier from condenser.
7.
Extract bolts from grommets at each corner of com-
pressor base.
8.
Pull compressor forward and rotate to gain access
to suction line.
9.
Using a tube cutter, cut suction line approximately
1” from compressor.
10. Pull remaining heat exchanger from tubing channel.
NOTE:
It is not recommended to sweat tubing apart.
Doing so will induce moisture into the sealed system.
NOTE:
When replacing the heat exchanger, it is rec-
ommended to attach it at the evaporator end first, then
feed heat exchanger down through the tubing channel.
NOTE:
After heat exchanger is installed, the tubing
channel must be sealed closed with silicone.
