DEFROST SYSTEM
Frost that has collected on the evaporator
is automatically defrosted by an electrical
heater. After 10 hours of accumulated
compressor operation time, the defrost
control opens the circuit to the
compres~or
and closes the circuit to the defrost
heater, drain trough heater (and on later
models), the fill tube heater for 35
minutes. The defrost heater (rated 350
watts) and the drain trough heater (rated
40 watts) remain energized until the
temperature of the evaporator rises to
45
0
F (approximately 10 minutes). The
defrost thermostat then opens the circuit
to the heaters. During the remaining time
allotted for the defrost interval, water is
permitted to drain from the evaporator into
the drain trough below the evaporator. At
the end of the 35-minute defrost interval,
the defrost control opens the contacts for
the defrost circuit and closes the contacts
to the compressor circuit.
After the compressor resumes operation, the
defrost thermostat will be cooled by the
evaporator. When the evaporator
temperature drops to 25
0
F, the thermostat
contacts will close in preparation for the
next defrost cycle.
Defrost Control
The defrost control is located at the front
of the unit compartment, behind the top
panel. The control is mounted to a sound
baffle which is attached to the front of
the slide-out-chassis. For access to the
defrost control, the top panel must be
removed.
To remove the defrost control, remove two
screws holding the control to the baffle,
rotate the control out and disconnect the
harness connector .
