Freezer Evaporator And Suction Line Replacement - Electrolux 5995502399 Service Manual

7. Release holding charge (release slowly to avoid oil
discharge) on new compressor to ensure there is
no leak in seam or tubing. Reinstall rubber plug.
8. Install new compressor in exact same manner as
original compressor.
9. Reform both suction and discharge lines to align
with new compressor. If they are too short, use
additional lengths of tubing. Joints should overlap
0.5" to provide sufficient area for good solder joints.
Clean and mark area where tubing should be cut.
Cut tubing with tubing cutter. Work quickly to avoid
letting moisture and air into system.
If low-side process tube is too short, silver solder
four inch piece of tubing onto process tube at this
time.
On R-134a systems, compressor must NOT be left
open to atmosphere for more than 10 minutes to
prevent moisture contamination of oil.
10. Solder all connections according to soldering
procedure.
11. Remove original filter-drier.
DO NOT unbraze old filter-drier from system. This
will vaporize and drive moisture from desiccant
back into system. The old filter-drier should be cut
out of system.
12. Install new filter-drier at condenser outlet.
13. Evacuate and charge system using recommended
procedure described under Evacuating and
Recharging.
14. Reconnect compressor terminal leads in accordance
with unit wiring diagram.
15. Reassemble unit.
Freezer Evaporator and Suction
Line Replacement
Always use the TORCH GUARD heat shield part
number 5304418872, behind the evaporator before
attempting to solder. The excessive heat from
soldering will warp the plastic liner.
The Freezer evaporator is located behind the back wall
of the freezer and is secured to the liner by screws
through the end plate on each side. Foam seals are
located on each end plate to ensure proper air flow
through the evaporator.
The heat exchanger on this style of refrigerator is in the
insulation between the food liner and the cabinet back.
You will not be able to remove the heat exchanger with
the evaporator. Because of this, all line welds will be
made inside the freezer. The evaporator kit contains a
heat shield to protect the liner from damage when
brazing.
Evaporator Kit Contains:
1- Evaporator
1- Heat Shield
1- Drier-Filter
1- Instruction Sheet
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electrical supply.
2. Remove the freezer door and remove all freezer
section shelves and baskets.
3. Remove evaporator cover.
4. Disconnect wiring harness at liner plug. Remove
the evaporator fan motor and housing. Remove the
defrost limiter and disconnect defrost heater.
5. Cut suction line in front of weld at evaporator. Using
a file, score and break the cap tube just in front of
the weld. (See Figure 7-6)
6. Cut the suction line coming from the pressure
regulator for the ice maker evaporator at the outlet
weld coming out the bottom of the regulator. (See
Figure 7-7)
NOTE: Do not cut the ice maker suction line going into
the side of the pressure regulator. Allow the suction line
to hold the regulator in position.
