Section 4 Sealed System - Electrolux ICON E24WC160ES Technical & Service Manual

The purpose of this section is to give the service technician an understanding of the absorbtion type
sealed system service. Persons attempting to use this service manual to make repairs to sealed system
refrigeration systems should have electrical training as well as training in sealed system repairs. The
person making the repairs must know and understand all laws (Local and International) governing
handling of all refrigerants. The technician must be trained in the use of recovery and recycling equipment.
Electrolux Home Products, Inc. cannot be responsible, nor assume any liability, for injury or damage of any
kind arising from the use of this manual.
Effective July 1, 1992, the United States clean air act governs the disposal of refrigerants such as R-134a.
Therefore, when discharging or purging the sealed system use an EPA approved refrigerant recovery
system as outlined in the final rule on the protection of stratospheric ozone and refrigerant recycling, which
was published in the Federal Register May 14, 1993.
Instructions given here are furnished as a guide. Persons attempting to use these instructions to
make repairs to the sealed refrigeration system should have a working knowledge of refrigeration and
previous training on sealed system repair, and an EPA certification for servicing refrigeration systems.
Electrolux does not permit the use of recovered refrigerant in the servicing of our products for in-warranty
and out-of-warranty repairs or for products covered by service contracts. Therefore, only new refrigerant or
refrigerant that has been reclaimed back to new specifications by a refrigerant manufacturer is to be used.
