19.4.9 Condenser:
The condenser is of tube and wire construction. It is draw through; forced air technology used
for heat transfer. The front grill facilitates both intake and exhaust air. Inlet air passes both
through the toe grill and above the louvered section on the front access panel. The condenser
sets in an enclosure that prevents air recirculation. Exhaust air passes over the main control
board and out through the toe grill. A baffle on the appliance door also aids in preventing any
air recirculation.
A common problem with this system is restricted air flow caused by lint, dust, dirt, and pet hair.
These particles become built up on the condenser and results in overheating due to the lack of
sub-cooling across the coil.
NOTE: Another important factor is that the free air space on the toe grill
cannot be altered to meet a certain design criteria. Any modifications could
jeopardize the integrity of the appliance performance.
