Evaporator
Probe
The evaporator probe is located within the evaporator coil. It controls the
refrigeration system defrost initiation and termination.
If the evaporator probe fails, the defrost element thermal fuses may activate
due to prolonged defrosting. Due to this, if the evaporator probe is replaced
the resistance of the thermal fuses must be checked and fuses replaced if
required (see “Defrost Element Fuses” on page 51).
To replace the evaporator probe
1. Remove the cartridge from the cabinet (see page 41).
2. Gain access to the evaporator fan assembly (see steps 2-3, “To access and
remove the evaporator fan assembly” on page 48).
3. Take note of probe location and cable routing (photo recommended), then
carefully cut cable ties to release the probe cable. Carefully separate the
coil fins around the probe, withdraw the probe from the evaporator coil,
trace back to its connector and unplug.
4. Replace the probe. Following the same path as the original probe, fit the
new probe with cable ties as necessary.
Ensure the probe is located in the same location (between the 3rd and 4th
fins), secured in place with the evaporator fins, and that the probe cable is
securely connected and cable tied in place.
5. Reassemble and test for correct operation.
