Disassembly Procedures
[ WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and
discharge capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures
require power to be connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired
and/or operational.
]
The following paragraphs describe how to
disassemble the unit. Disassembly to some extent is
required to install unit, to perform troubleshooting
procedures, and to remove and replace faulty
corn ponents.
Component names used throughout disassembly
procedures are the same as those used in Parts
Manuals.
For quicker reassembly, disassemble unit under test
only to extent necessary to troubleshoot and repair.
Unless noted, reassembly is opposite of disassembly.
[ WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock, ground wires and wires colored
like ground wires are NO'[" to be used as current
carrying conductors. The standard accepted
color coding for ground wires is green or green
with a yellow stripe. Electrical components
such as the compressor and fan motor are
grounded through an individual wire attached to
the electrical component and to another part of
the air conditioner. Ground wires should not be
removed from individual components while
servicing, unless the component is to be
removed and replaced. It is extremely important
to replace all removed ground wires before
completing service.
