as the original. Use extreme care when bending the

tubing at entrance hole to prevent kinking. Pack entry

with butyl sealer.

24.Clean the suction line and silver solder the joint with

proper flux. Excess flux must be wiped off after

soldering.

Replacing Freezer Shelving Refrigerated

Shelf Models

Current freezer models are equipped with steel shelves

and can be individually repaired or replaced as follows:

1. Disconnect line cord from electrical outlet.

2. Install service valve as close as possible to the tip of

process tube, for easy pinch-off after recharging the

system.

3. Connect a hose to service valve and capture the

charge.

NOTE: Effective July 1, 1992, before opening any

refrigeration system it is the responsibility of the

service technician to capture the refrigerant for

safe disposal.

4. Remove butyl sealer from tube entry hole in the

cabinet back.

5. Cut the end off of compressor process tube after the

refrigerant has been captured. Attach a service valve

to it, and leave the valve open.

6. Cut drier from condenser tubing. Cut drier from

capillary tube. To cut capillary tube, score the walls

with a knife or file. Cut around entire tube uniformly,

then break it with your fingers.
