Section 5. Service and Disassembly Procedures

!WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and discharge capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures require power to be connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.

The following paragraphs describe how to disassemble unit under test. Disassembly to some extent is required to install unit, to perform troubleshooting procedures, and to remove and replace failed components.

Component names used throughout disassembly procedures are the same as those used in Parts Manuals.

For quicker reassembly, disassemble unit under test only to extent necessary to troubleshoot and repair. Unless noted, reassembly is opposite of disassembly.

!WARNING

To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock, ground wires and wires colored like ground wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors. The standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe. Electrical components such as the water valve and motor are grounded through an individual wire attached to the electrical component. Ground wires should not be removed from individual components while servicing, unless the component is to be removed and replaced. It is extremely important to replace all removed ground wires before completing service.
