Compressor - Sub-Zero 700TC-3 Service Manual

Component Access/Removal
Compressor Removal
The compressors have four rubber compressor grom-
mets inserted into their base. Cylindrical metal spacers
are placed over threaded studs that are pressed into
the unit tray. The compressor grommets fit over the
spacers and a washer sets on top of the grommet and
spacer. A nut is then installed on the threaded stud and
tightened down on the washer and spacer.
NOTE: Before attempting to remove a compressor,
evacuate the refrigerant from the sealed system.
To access and remove a compressor, the kickplate/grille
will need to be removed first and the unit tray will need
to be slid out. To slide the unit tray out, extract the two
screws that secure tray to the unit, located at the front
right and left corners. Grab the front flange of tray and
pull forward.
1. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to remove compressor
electrical cover.
2. Disconnect electrical leads from compressor. (See
Figure 7-49)
3. Remove compressor by cutting the inlet and outlet
tubing with a tube cutter, approximately one inch
from the compressor ports. (See Figure 7-50)
4. Extract nuts and washers from the threaded studs,
then lift compressor off of studs. (See Figure 7-50)
NOTE: Sweating the joints apart is not recommended
as this may induce moisture into the sealed system.
NOTE: The high-side filter-drier must be replaced
whenever servicing the sealed system.
NOTE: When installing a compressor, be sure to thor-
oughly clean the tubing before brazing.
