8)Braze all fittings with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
9)Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use
10)Evacuate the system and charge it with refrigerant. See the rating label inside the icemaker, for the required refrigerant charge.
11)Replace the panels in their correct positions.
12)Turn on the power supply.
L.Removal and Replacement of Thermistor
This section covers removal and replacement of the thermistor. For a thermistor check procedure, see "IV.E. Thermistor Check."
CAUTION
1.The thermistor is fragile; handle very carefully.
2.Always use the recommended sealant (high thermal conductive type), Model KE4560RTV manufactured by SHINETSU SILICONE, Part Code 60Y000‑11, or Part Code
3.Always use the recommended foam insulation
4.Do not shorten or cut the thermistor leads.
1)Turn off the power supply.
2)Remove the panels.
3)Remove the control box cover.
4)Disconnect the white thermistor connector from the control board WHITE K3 connector.
5)Remove the plastic cable ties, foam insulation, thermistor holder, and thermistor. See
Fig. 5. | Thermistor Lead | Cable Tie |
6)Scrape away the old sealant on the thermistor holder and the suction pipe.
7)Wipe off moisture or condensation on the suction pipe.
8)Smoothly apply recommended sealant (KE4560RTV, Part Code
Foam Insulation
Fig. 5
9)Attach the new thermistor to the suction pipe in the same position as the previous thermistor. Be very careful to prevent damage to the leads. Secure it using the thermistor holder and recommended foam insulation.
