10. PARTS REPAIRING 10-1. Control board Check by user If receiving a service call, ask the user to turn off the power to the unit and turn it on again after 30 seconds. When the control board is malfunctioning for some reasons, normal operation may resume once the power is turned off.
- Do not drop the control board on the floor. The control board is fragile. - Put the control board on a flat surface and prevent damage to the electronic parts and devices. - To prevent damage, do not pull the thermistor wires with thin insulations. - To prevent disconnection, do not pull the connectors.
10-4 Compressor fan motor 1) Disconnect the connector that is connected to the compressor fan motor. 2) Check if the voltage of 12V DC is applied to the motor drive line. (+ : red, - : dark blue) 3) Check if the voltage of 1.8 to 3.5V DC is applied to the motor control line. (+ : yellow, - : dark blue) But 1.8 to 3.5V DC can be checked only when the compressor fan motor is running.
11. PARTS REPLACEMENT - Always unplug the unit or turn off the main power supply before replacing parts. - To reattach the removed parts, reverse the removal procedure. 11-1. Exterior panels 11-1-1. Side panel Loosen the screws on the right and back sides. 11-1-2.
