evaporator. The thermistor is mounter inside foam
insulating tape and senses temperature of the suction
line and relays this information back to the control board
for EEV operation. (See Figure 6-80)

power from the unit and remove the side plate. Remove
the thermistor from the suction line and disconnect the
