SKOPE Reflex Upright Fridge, Freezer, Combo
Compressor The compressor is located at the front of the refrigeration cartridge. If the
compressor is causing excessive noise, check the mountings to ensure
there is no damage to the rubber mounts or washers, nuts and screws.
Before replacing the compressor, check all plug connections and ensure the
compressor electrics are operating correctly. The compressor must be
supplied with consistent voltage over 220 volts, ensure the voltage does not
drop at start-up. If the voltage does drop, ensure the cartridge has a direct
power supply (not from a multi-box or extension cord). Generally a faulty
compressor may have a distinct hissing sound and run with a very hot body
temperature.
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.
To replace the defrost element
IMPORTANT
To eliminate possible vibration noise, ensure no pipes touch the
plastic base and condenser assembly.
1. Remove the cartridge from the cabinet (see page 41).
2. Unscrew and remove the evaporator box (see page 47).
3. Take note of cable routing (photo recommended), then carefully cut cable
ties to release defrost element from the evaporator coil and pipes. Trace the
cable back to electrics panel, cutting cable ties as required.
4. Unscrew the evaporator
coil from the cartridge (2
× screws at each end of
the coil), and gently
move the coil to expose
defrost element.
5. Gently pry open the defrost element retaining brackets, and carefully move
the element out from under the coil.
6. Fit the replacement element under the retaining brackets. Following the
same path as the original cable, secure the element cable with cable ties as
necessary.
7. Refit evaporator coil fixing screws, reassemble and test.
