58 Section E- Refrigeration System
EVAPORATOR REPLACEMENT
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 style of refrigerator is in the insulation between the 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.
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electrical supply.
2. Remove all freezer section shelves and
baskets.
3. Remove bottom evaporator cover.
4. Disconnect wiring harness at liner plug.
