Servicing Components in the Compressor Compartment
CONDENSER
Fig. 11
The compressor and related components are located at the bottom back of the refrigerator/freezer
in an open compartment.
DEFROST DRAIN
The drain tube from the freezer section is routed down the outside back of the cabinet underneath
the condenser to the component tray at the bottom. The component tray serves as the drain pan.
1. Remove the screws from the four (4) clips securing the condenser to the back of the cabinet
and lean the condenser away from the cabinet far enough to gain access to the drain tube.
2. Loosen the clamp securing the drain hose to the outlet on the back of the cabinet.
3. Remove the screw from the clip securing the lower portion of the drain hose to the cabinet.
4. When replacing the drain hose be sure to put a loop in it near the connection to the freezer.
The loop creates a trap which prevents warm air and moisture from migrating into the freezer
compartment.
SERVICING THE COMPRESSOR
1. Remove the four (4) screws securing the component tray to the cabinet. There are two screws
on each side of the unit.
2. Carefully slide the component tray out from the refrigerator/freezer far enough for the compres-
sor to clear the back of the cabinet. Watch that the tubing is not kinked when sliding the tray
out.
3. Follow standard Sweep Charge Procedures for replacing the compressor.
4. Slide the component tray back into the unit and secure it with to the cabinet the four (4) screws
removed earlier.
