SERVICING
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.
1. Remove the wiring from the control terminals.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test for connuity across the normally
closed contacts. No reading indicates the control is open -
replace if necessary.
IF FOUND OPEN - REPLACE - DO NOT WIRE AROUND.
S-61B CHECKING HEATER FUSE LINK
(OPTIONAL ELECTRIC HEATERS)
Each individual heater element is protected with a one me fuse
link which is connected in series with the element. The fuse link
will open at approximately 333°.
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
WARNING
1. Remove heater element assembly so as to expose fuse link.
2. Using an ohmmeter, test across the fuse link for connuity -
no reading indicates the link is open. Replace as necessary.
NOTE: The link is designed to open at approximately 333°F. DO
NOT WIRE AROUND - determine reason for failure.
S-62 CHECKING HEATER ELEMENTS
Disconnect ALL power before servicing.
WARNING
1. Disassemble and remove the heang element.
2. Visually inspect the heater assembly for any breaks in the
wire or broken insulators.
3. Using an ohmmeter, test the element for connuity - no
reading indicates the element is open. Replace as necessary.
S-100 REFRIGERATION REPAIR PRACTICE
DANGER
Always remove the refrigerant charge in a proper
manner before applying heat to the system.
When repairing the refrigeraon system:
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Disconnect ALL power before servicing
or installing. Multiple power sources
may be present. Failure to do so may
cause property damage, personal injury
or death.
1. Never open a system that is under vacuum. Air and mois-
ture will be drawn in.
2. Plug or cap all openings.
3. Remove all burrs and clean the brazing surfaces of the tub-
ing with sand cloth or paper. Brazing materials do not ow
well on oxidized or oily surfaces.
4. Clean the inside of all new tubing to remove oils and pipe
chips.
5. When brazing, sweep the tubing with dry nitrogen to pre-
vent the formaon of oxides on the inside surfaces.
6. Complete any repair by replacing the liquid line drier in the
system, evacuate and charge.
BRAZING MATERIALS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Torch heat required to braze tubes of
various sizes is proporonal to the size of the tube. Tubes
of smaller size require less heat to bring the tube to brazing
temperature before adding brazing alloy. Applying too much
heat to any tube can melt the tube. Service personnel must use
the appropriate heat level for the size of the tube being brazed.
NOTE: The use of a heat shield when brazing is recommended to
avoid burning the serial plate or the nish on the unit. Heat trap
or wet rags should be used to protect heat sensive components
such as service valves and TXV valves.
