Equator 375 service manual Replacing the Evaporator, Dismounting, Mounting

2.4.Replacing the Evaporator

The pipe systems of all Vestfrost heat exchangers are mounted in plastic tubing with a diameter of 18/14.6 mm. It is therefore necessary to straighten out the suction pipe and capillary tube when an evaporator is to be replaced.

Dismounting:

1. a) Refrigerator evaporator:

Release the evaporator by removing the 4 screws for the inner cabinet and thermostat phial.

b)Freezer evaporator:

Remove the shelf flaps and baskets. Release by pulling the front edging out of the clips holding it to the middle of the shelves. Remove the thermostat and thermostat phial. Loosen the snapper carefully with a screwdriver to release.

On two-door cabinets remove both doors as well as the cover plate, hinge piece and plate for the centre bridge. Carefully pull out the right side of the centre bridge, until the inner level of the centre bridge is even with the front edge of the cabinet (See drawing).

2.a + b) Dismount and straighten the suction pipe and capillary tube.

3.a + b) Draw out the evaporator, at the same time drawing out the suction pipe.

Mounting:

1.a) Straighten the suction pipe and capillary tube, deter- mine the distance “L, and push the suction pipe and capillary tube through the plastic tubing, at the same time pushing the plate into place.

b)Straighten the suction pipe and capillary tube and push through the plastic tubing. At the same time guide the shelves into their tracks in the inner cabinet.

2.a) Mount the screws and thermostat and solder the pipe ends to the compressor and filter.

b)Mount the front edging by bending the ends and attaching these to the inner cabinet. Snap the middle of the edging to the shelves.

Mount the thermostat and thermostat phial and all other dismounted parts. Solder the pipes to the compressor and filter.

(Use a tube joining system when making repairs to uprights with R600a.)

2.4.1. Replacing the Evaporator in No-Frost Appliances

When replacing the evaporator the entire evaporator unit is removed. Dismount the wire in the exterior terminal box and pull it out with the evaporator unit.
