Figure 1.1 1.3 Before Servicing • Always disconnect power to any Marvel product before attempting to service it. Always verify that power has been disconnected. • If the unit has been running, use caution around the condenser and copper tubing. These areas may be very hot.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR 1.4 Basic Refrigeration Tools The following list contains some of the tools required for basic refrigeration repairs: Hoses with R-134a couplers (must meet standards for handling R-134a refrigerant) Approved and certified recovery system for R-134a Manifold gage set for R-134a Charging cylinder with R-134a Weight scale (preferably in ounces to the nearest tenth of an ounce) Access valves...
Use a leak detection system that will detect R-134a refrigerant. Leaks need to be found on any leaking system BEFORE the repair takes place. The drier must be replaced anytime the sealed system is opened. Always use a MARVEL drier. Failure to do so may cause repeated system failure in the future.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR 2.6 Evaporator Frost Pattern Checking the evaporator frost pattern is a good way to quickly diagnose simple sealed system problems. This can be done by allowing the unit to run (at least 10 minutes) with the door open for at least 5 minutes. This will help speed up the normal frosting of the evaporator plate.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR If low side pressure is below pressure in Table B, check for the following: A system leak Capillary tube is restricted Insufficient compressor (does not pump properly) If low side pressure is above pressure in Table B, check for the following: Restricted air flow Dirty condenser coil Overcharged system...
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR Section 3: Sealed System Components 3.1 Gaining Access to Mechanical Baseplate The mechanical baseplate is located in the rear of the unit. Most major mechanical and electrical components on the unit mount directly to the baseplate. This creates easy access for servicing of the sealed system and mechani- cal/electrical components.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR 3.2 Compressor The compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system (see Figure 3.4). However, it relies on other parts of the system to function. Make certain that the other parts of the system are functioning correctly before determining that the compressor is faulty.
Page 10
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR Installing the Compressor: Install the four rubber grommets in the bottom of the new compressor and install the three sleeves where the carriage bolts will be located. Mount the new compressor and install the three washers and lock nuts and tighten to 45 in-lbs.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR 3.3 Condenser The condenser is a steel tube serpentine with copper alloy fins that removes heat from hot, high pressure vapor from the compressor (see Figure 3.8). The most common trouble is lack of airflow from either a restricted intake or exhaust opening in the front of the unit.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR 3.4 Evaporator The evaporator uses evaporating refrigerant to remove heat from the inside of the unit ultimately making the inte- rior cold. The shape and size of the evaporator may vary among the models covered by this service manual but the fundamentals are the same (see Figures 3.9, and 3.10).
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR Section 4: System Components 4.1 Condenser Fan The condenser fan is used to force air over the condenser coil. The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor which means that when the compressor is running so is the fan and when the compressor is not running neither is the fan (see Figure 4.1).
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR 4.2 Sensors The wine cellars and beverage centers utilize one (1) sensor, known as the control sensor. The control sensor (part number 41050117) senses the interior temperature allowing the control to adjust and properly display the interior temperature.
Page 15
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR Removing the Sensor: Disconnect power to the unit. Loosen the screws to the display housing and pull it forward. It will hang down in front of the unit. Open the wire conduit. Loosen the “p” clamp that holds the sensor to the wall. Unhook the sensor at the electronic controller.
Section 5: MicroSentry™ Refrigeration Monitor and User Panel 5.1 Introduction Marvel’s MicroSentry™ refrigeration monitor oversees the refrigeration system’s performance to help maintain a selected temperature. An audible alarm is sounded if the temperature goes 10 degrees F above or below the set point for more than one hour or if the door is left ajar for more than five minutes.
Low Temp for more than one hour. The error code and alarm will remain active until the condition is corrected. The monitor detected a sensor fault. Call Marvel Customer Ser- Sensor Fault vice or your dealer if this code is displayed.
MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATION MONITOR Section 6: Interior Components 6.1 Lights The wine cellars and beverage centers are equipped with one (1) light, which is located behind the display housing on the inside top of the cabinet. Replacing the Light Bulb: Disconnect power to the unit. Unscrew the old light bulb located behind the display housing at the top of the unit.
