Freezer Evaporator
The freezer evaporator is attached to the rear wall of
the compartment with screws, behind the compartment
duct assemblies. See Duct Assembly removal proce-
dures earlier in this section.
NOTES: The high-side filter-drier must also be
replaced when replacing an evaporator.
To remove the evaporator, first capture the refrigerant
from the sealed system, then (See Figure 6-123):
1. Remove defrost heater, defrost terminator and
evaporator thermistor from evaporator.
2. Extract evaporator mounting screws, then pull and
rotate evaporator so heat exchanger is accessible.
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 suction tube 1" or less from
evaporator outlet stub, then remove evaporator
from compartment.
NOTES:
Do not sweat tubing apart. Doing so will induce
•
moisture into the sealed system.
After capillary tube separates, check tubing for inter-
•
nal burrs. If burrs exist, repeat step 2 above.
