Control Console - electronic models
To remove the control console -- insert
a small blade screwdriver behind the
console at the bottom, near the center,
and pry forward to disengage the tabs
from the control housing. Then, pull
the console downward and disconnect the
wiring harness connectors from the rear
of the control board.
To reinstall the control console --
reconnect the wiring harness connectors to
the control board and engage the channel at
the top of the control housing. Then, gently
press the lower edge of the console to engage
the mounting tabs into the holes in the control
housing.
Caution: when handling the control console,
care must be taken to prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge. Grasp the console
by the edges and do not touch the connector
pins or circuit paths on the control board.
Leave the conductive pad on the replacement
board until just before connecting the wiring
harness connectors.
Control Housing - electronic models
To remove the control housing -- first remove
the pad, the pad support, and the control
console. Remove the screws at the front
of the control housing. Pull the housing
forward and disconnect the 9-wire harness
connector and the wiring harness from the
solenoid terminals.
To reinstall the control housing -- reconnect
the 9-wire harness connector and the wiring
harness to the solenoid terminals. Position
the sensor harness through the opening at
the left side of the housing. Dress the wiring
harness to prevent pinching of wires. Then,
push the control housing firmly into position
and reinstall the screws. Reinstall the
