PROCEDURE - DIODE BRIDGE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1.To remove the diode bridge, first you will have to remove the field capacitor. Follow Steps 1 - 5 on capacitor removal and replacement procedure.
2.Depress the retainer clip on the molded plastic holder and slide the diode bridge out.
3.With the needle nose pliers, gently remove the 4 wires from the diode bridge.
4.Replace the wires to their appropriate loca- tions on the new diode bridge:
Lead 200 (Red) attaches to the positive (+) terminal. Depending on the bridge used, this corner may be beveled and/or marked with a + sign.
Lead 201 (Black) and 201B (Green) are pig- gybacked on the negative
The 2 Blue leads are the AC side of the bridge and attach to the other two corners. Either lead can go on either terminal.
5.Slide the bridge back into the molded plas- tic holder until the retainer clip snaps it securely in place. Snap the capacitor back into the holder and then slide the unit back into position in the panel.
6.Check that the leads are not grounded and for clearance and tightness.
7.Replace the top cover of the control box and tighten the 4 sheet metal screws with the 5/16” nut driver.
