Section 5 Component Teardown
Evaporator Cover Removal
The evaporator cover is secured with screws to the
back wall and bottom of the freezer compartment. The
evaporator cover has a gasket on each side to create
proper airflow in the compartment. (See Figure 5-44)
To remove the evaporator cover:
1. Remove the cantilever shelves.
2. Remove the glass shelf and side rails.
3. Remove wire baskets and slides.
4. Using a phillips head screwdriver, extract the ten
(10) screws securing the evaporator cover to the
freezer compartment.
5. Pull the thermostat knob from thermostat shaft.
6. Carefully pull the evaporator cover away from the
back wall enough to access the wire harness
connections to the light fixtures and thermostat. Use
caution not to damage the gaskets on both sides of
the evaporator cover.
7. From behind the evaporator cover, disconnect the
wire leads from the light fixture terminals.
8. Compress the thermostat spring clip then pull the
thermostat from the back of the evaporator cover.
Evaporator cover may now be removed from the
unit.
Thermostat Control Removal
The evaporator cover does not need to be completely
removed to access the thermostat control or the wire
harness connections, however, removing the evaporator
cover from the unit will make the task easier.
To remove the thermostat control:
1. Follow steps 1-8 above for removing the evaporator
cover.
2. Extract the screw securing the sensor tube to the
back wall of the cabinet interior. (See Figure 5-45)
3. Disconnect the 2 wire leads from the top of the
thermostat control.
4. Disconnect the ground wire lead from the thermostat
control. Thermostat control is now free.
