Evaporator Housing - Frigidaire LGUB2642LF2 Service Manual

Evaporator Housing Replacement
Disconnect power from the unit before performing this
procedure.
IMPORTANT: When the Evaporator Housing is re-
moved, (and when the Air Handler is removed), the rear
"U" shaped gasket on the Evaporator Housing must be
replaced. This is because the gasket gets crushed during
installation and permanently takes on the shape of the
liner where it contacts the liner. Once the Evaporator
Housing is removed or loosened, it will never be put back
in exactly the same place and the gasket will not properly
seal – leading to the possibility of melted frost bypassing
the gasket and causing water droplets that run down the
back wall of the fresh food compartment underneath the
ice maker.
1. Check all the gaskets on the Evaporator Housing. Re-
place any that are deformed or damaged. The rear-most
"U" shaped gasket must be replaced. Figure 6-66.
2. When replacing the rear gasket, be sure that the edge
of the new gasket is aligned with the tips of the small
"wings" on either side of the Housing as shown. Figure
6-67.
3. Be sure the aluminum liner and the tape are in place,
and carefully slip the Housing onto the bottom of the
Evaporator and slide it upward.
Note: Use care to make sure the Heater stays in the
proper position.
4. Push the Housing all the way to the top of the Evapo-
rator. It is in the proper position when the top of the
Evaporator coil is even with the bottom of the large
window in the Housing as shown. Figure 6-68.
5. Route the wires from the Heater and Thermostat as-
sembly down through the "L" shaped slot and to the left
of the "L" shaped post on the Evaporator Housing, and
snap the connector into the clip on the front of the hous-
ing from behind as shown. Figure 6-69.
IMPORTANT: The wires must be routed as shown.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the wires due to
pinching and interference with the Auger Motor.
