Freezer Heat Exchanger Replacement; Ice Maker Evaporator Replacement - Electrolux 5995502399 Service Manual

Freezer Heat Exchanger
Replacement
1. Recover refrigerant from sealed system.
2. Disconnect wiring harness at liner plug.
3. Remove defrost limiter and disconnect defrost
heater.
4. Remove fan motor and wiring.
5. Cut heat exchanger off flush with liner.
(See Figure 7-9)
6. Remove evaporator and drain trough.
NOTE: You do not need to remove rivet or defrost
heater.
7. Using a 1/4" drill bit, drill hole through cabinet 1 inch
below old heat exchanger.
8. Using a 1/2" drill bit, open hole drilled in Step 7 to
1/2" from back of product.
9. Remove stubs of old heat exchanger from
evaporator and install new heat exchanger into
evaporator.
10. Push heat exchanger through hole in cabinet and
set evaporator back in place.
11. Slide Armor-Flex over heat exchanger until cover is
against hole at back of cabinet. The excess cap
tube can be wound around the suction line.
12. Seal the hole on the inside and outside of cabinet
using permagum.
13. The one piece cover can now be installed over heat
exchanger. Place open end of cover at top of
compressor compartment opening. Attach cover to
back of cabinet using screws provided. There is no
need to predrill holes as the screws are self cutting.
14. Seal hole and end of old heat exchanger with
permagum.
15. Replace 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.
16. Evacuate and recharge system.
17. Bend remaining tubing to fit into machine
compartment opening, being careful not to set up
any excess noise from line vibration.
18. Run product to make sure refrigerant is circulating.
19. Reinstall evaporator and machine compartment
cover.
Ice Maker Evaporator Assembly
Replacement
Always use the TORCH GUARD heat shield part
number 5304418872, behind evaporator before
attempting to solder. The excessive heat from
soldering will warp the plastic liner.
The ice maker evaporator assembly is located inside the
ice maker compartment in the top left section of the food
compartment.
All ice maker mechanical components must be removed
to access the ice maker finger evaporator in the top
section above the ice mold as well as the fin and tube
evaporator coil located behind the ice bucket. Refer to
pages 6-20 through 6-25 for removal of the ice maker
components needed to access the ice maker sealed
system components. The EEV is also part of the ice
maker evaporator assembly that will be part of the repair
kit.
The heat exchanger can not be removed 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.
To replace the icemaker evaporator assembly, order part
number 5303918407 Icemaker Evaporator Kit.
