SKOPE Reflex Underbench Fridge and Freezer
Defrost
Element Fuses
The element is fitted with two thermal fuses (one at each end of the evaporator coil). If a fuse
fails, diagnostic work to determine the cause of failure is required.
If the evaporator probe fails, the defrost element thermal fuse may activate due to prolonged
defrosting. Due to this, if you replace the evaporator probe, you must check the resistance of
the thermal fuse, and replace it if required.
3. Carefully cut the cable ties to release the
defrost element from the evaporator coil and
pipes.
Trace the cable back to electrics panel,
cutting cable ties as required.
4. Remove the element on the base:
• Drill out the rivets securing the element tray using a non-sparking brushless drill.
• Gently remove the element tray from the evaporator coil feet, and carefully move the element
out from under the coil.
5. Remove the element on the rear face of the coil by unclipping it without tools.
6. Fit the replacement elements.
• Base element: rivet in place. Install the element cable following the same path as the original
cable. Secure with cable ties as necessary.
• Rear element: clip back in place without using tools. Install the element cable following the
same path as the original cable. Secure with cable ties as necessary
7. Reassemble and test.
