Side-by-side dual evaporator refrigerators with electronic touch controls

Inverter

• The inverter is accessed from the back of the

refrigerator.

• It is mounted directly on the left side of the

compressor.

• The water valve must be removed to access

the inverter.

To remove the Inverter

To remove the inverter, remove the single

Phillips screw on the lower right side. Lift the

inverter up and off the compressor bracket.

Caution: It may be necessary to bend the

process tube in order to remove the inverter. If

iit is necessary to bend the process tube, use

extreme caution.

WARNING: When the refrigerator is plugged in,

240 VAC is always present at the inverter.

Note: Certain voltmeters will not be able to read

voltage output from the inverter. If no voltage or

erratic voltage is measured, it does not neces-

sarily indicate a faulty inverter.

The inverter receives 240 VAC line-in from the

power supply. The inverter converts this single

phase, 50 Hz, 240 VAC into 3-phase, 230 VAC,

with frequency variations between 57 Hz and

104 Hz. This voltage is delivered to the com-

pressor through 3 lead wires. Each wire will

carry identical voltage and frequency.

Note: The compressor leads must be connected

to measure voltage output. If the compressor

wires are not connected, or if an open occurs in

one of the 3 lead wires or in the compressor, the

inverter will stop voltage output.
