21.Remove the water cooler assembly in order to access the retainer clips that hold the bottom of the FET module assembly in place. (Complete removal of the unit should not be necessary.) Refer to the

Water Cooler Removal and Replacement Procedure in this section of the module.

22.Remove the locking bar from the top of the subframe where it secures the FET module assembly. Depress the top and bottom retainer clips with the slot head screw driver so that the FET module assembly can slide forward.

23.Slowly lift and remove the subframe, mak- ing sure no clips, cable ties, or lead con- nections are still holding it.

24.With the wire cutters, cut all necessary cable ties holding the FET module assem- bly to the wiring harness. Using needle nose pliers, disconnect the leads attached to the FET module assembly (all red and white leads should remain connected). Refer to the Wiring Diagram to determine which leads should be disconnected. The main transformer and the reconnect mod- ule must be free of the FET module assembly. Also disconnect the thermostat lead.

25.Carefully lift the FET module assembly and remove it from the machine.

26.With the FET module assembly removed, the main transformer, background choke, and output choke are now easily accessi- ble. Refer to the Main Transformer

Removal and Replacement Procedure in this section of the module.

Replacement of the FET Module Assembly:

27.Carefully set the assembly into the bottom of the machine. The terminal label should face the front (toward the main trans- former).

28.Connect all leads to their appropriate ter- minals on the assembly. Use the Wiring Diagram for reference.

29.Carefully position the subframe on top of the FET module assembly. Slide the assembly into place so that the retainer clips snap into their slots, top and bottom. Fit the locking bar into place on top of the subframe to secure the FET module assembly.
