Internal Condenser

The internal condenser is made in three sections (see circuit diagram below). One third of the condenser is
attached to the back panel, and the other parts are attached to the inside of the right and left sides of the
cabinet wrapper (as viewed from the back) all being foamed into place. It is very important, if pressure testing
the high side circuit, to split the condenser into its 3 sections to locate which section is at fault. Always ease
the back panel away from the cabinet slightly before pressure testing the internal pipe work. This will prevent
a pressure build-up within the cabinet should any leak be found internally in the foam insulation. Such a leak
could pressurise and damage the cabinet liner.
The back panel condenser comes as part of the back panel and should always be replaced as a complete
assembly if the back panel is ever removed. On fitting a new back panel assembly always replace the mastic
vapour-sealing compound before fitting the back panel into the triple fold of the cabinet.
