19.4.2 Warnings and Cautions:
WARNING
Prior to removing the access cover to the machine compartment, disconnect the
supply voltage to the appliance. Failure to do this could result in an electrical
shock or possible death.
CAUTION
All electrical parts and wiring must be shielded from torch flame. DO NOT allow
torch to touch insulation; the insulation will char at 200°F and flash ignite (burn)
at 500°F. Excessive heat will distort the plastic liner.
19.4.3 Mechanical Compartment:
WARNING: The refrigeration system must be evacuated prior to unsoldering the
compressor or any other system related component.
Access to the mechanical compartment is located at the rear of the unit. Most mechanical and
electrical components on the unit mount directly to the slide out base.
To gain access to the mechanical section proceed as follows; be sure to reference the photos as
called out.
1. For access to the machine compartment remove the screws securing the bottom
compartment panel at the rear of the cabinet.
2. For additional service needs, it may be necessary to slide the machine compartment
assembly out. Proceed with the following steps.
 Remove the rear, upper access panel.
 Back out the two Phillips screws (1 on each side) on the toe grill.
 Once the toe grill is removed, it will be necessary to remove all four screws
(two on each side) to loosen the mechanical assembly from the front.
 At the rear bottom corner of the unit two (1 on each side) 5/16” hex head
screws can be removed.
3. The mechanical section can now be slid out no more than 8 - 10” maximum until the
suction line has been unsoldered from the compressor.
 CAUTION: To avoid kinking the suction line assembly - do not slide the
mechanical base outward past the 8-10” maximum recommended above.
4. To change the HGV or condenser it is necessary to evacuate and reclaim the
refrigerant from the system prior to this step.
