WR49X10025 must be used to prevent damage
to freezer liner.
• Add thermal paste (WX5X8927) to the exposed
Liner or any item that heat from a torch may
come in contact with.
• Protect wiring from heat during unbrazing
and re-brazing.
12. Cut the suction line o of the evaporator (see
image below).
13. Cut the capillary tube section o (see image
below).
14. Unbraze the capillary tube.
15. Unbraze the suction line.
16. Remove the evaporator.
17. Using a le, or cap tube cutter (WX05X10050)
