Filter-Drier Installation

Any time the sealed system is opened and the
refrigerant charge is removed, the liquid line filter-drier
must be replaced and the system thoroughly evacuated
before replacing refrigerant.
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.
NOTE
The following instructions are generalized to help the
technician understand the procedures of sealed
system repairs. See Section 5 Component Teardown
on the exact steps of accessing the components of the
refrigeration system.
1. Disconnect electrical supply to refrigerator/freezer.
2. Recover refrigerant by using EPA approved
recovery system.
3. Using a 3 cornered file, score a groove around
capillary tube as close to old filter-drier as possible.
Break capillary tube along score mark from
filter-drier.
4. Cut condenser outlet tube at filter-drier. Discard
filter-drier.

capillary tube.
6. Place inlet connection of filter-drier over condenser
tube approximately ¼" and solder.
