Replacement Procedures
Service Manual
Compressor The compressor is located at the back of the refrigeration cartridge. It must be supplied with
consistent voltage over 220 volts.
If considering replacing the compressor (e.g. it is causing excessive noise, it has a distinctive
hissing sound and is running with a very hot body temperature, it is not going):
• check the mountings to ensure there is no damage to the rubber or the washers, nuts and
screws.
• check all plug connections and ensure the electrics are operating correctly.
• ensure the voltage is not dropping at start-up. If the voltage does drop, ensure the
cartridge has a direct power supply (not from a multi-box or extension cord).
Defrost
Element
Electric defrosting is used for both fridges and freezers. Defrost parameters vary depending
on product type, and can be reviewed in the SCS Connect Field app.
The cartridge is fitted with a defrost element which can be replaced if necessary. The element
is located within the evaporator assembly, below the evaporator coil.
5. Unscrew the fan assembly (6 × screws located
on top of assembly) and replace it.
Ensure the metal bars at the top of the
assembly are reused when refixing the fan
assembly.
6. Following the same path as the original cable, secure the evaporator fan motor cable with cable
ties as necessary.
7. Reassemble and test.
Procedure 20: To access and replace the evaporator fan assembly (continued)
IMPORTANT
To eliminate possible vibration noise, ensure no pipes touch
the cartridge housing and condenser assembly.
Note: The freezer model design was updated in May 2020 to
have two defrost elements on the evaporator coil: one located
on the base and one on the rear face of the coil.
Procedure 21: To replace the defrost elements
Before you start
1. If a customer reports a “not cooling” fault, and it has been established that the cabinet is not
cooling, follow the “On-site Work Procedure” on page 48 when making the service visit.
2. Make sure you take note of the original defrost element cable’s path, e.g. a photo.
1. Remove the cartridge from the cabinet (see page 31).
2. Gain access to the evaporator fan assembly (see steps 2 and 3, Procedure 20, on page 40).
