9. After refrigerant is completely recovered, cut suc-
tion and discharge lines as close to compressor as
possible. Leave only enough tubing to pinch off and
seal defective compressor. Plug or tape any open
system tubing to avoid entrance of moisture and air
into system. Remove inoperable compressor and
transfer mounting parts to new compressor.
10. Install new compressor in exact same manner as
original compressor.
11. Reform both suction and discharge lines to align
with new compressor. If they are too short, use
additional lengths of tubing. Joints should overlap
0.5" to provide sufficient area for good solder joint.
Clean and mark area where tubing should be cut .
Cut tubing with tubing cutter. Work as quickly as
possible to avoid letting moisture and air into system.
NOTE: If low-side process tube is too short, silver
solder four inch piece of tubing onto process tube
at this time.
12. Solder all connections according to soldering
procedure outlined on page 30.
13. Remove original filter-drier.
CAUTION: DO NOT unbraze old filter-drier
from system. This will vaporize and drive
moisture from desiccant back into system.
The old filter-drier should be cut out of system.
14. Install new filter-drier at condenser outlet.
15. Evacuate and charge system using recommended
procedure described under Evacuating and Re-
charging.

EVAPORATOR REPLACEMENT

CAUTION: Always place the TORCH GUARD
heat shield, part number 5304418872, behind
evaporator before attempting to solder. The
excessive heat from soldering will warp the
plastic liner.
The evaporator is located in the lower section of the
freezer and is secured to the drain pan by a bracket at
the top. Styrofoam blocks are located on each side,
directly across from each other to ensure proper air flow
through the evaporator.
The heat exchanger on this type of refrigerator is in the
insulation between the food liner and the cabinet back.
You will not be able to remove the heat exchanger with
the evaporator. Because of this, all line welds will be
made inside the freezer.The evaporator kit contains a
heat shield to protect the liner from damage when
brazing.
