WARNINGS To avoid electrical shock, which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator using power switch before servicing. Wires removed during disassembly must be replaced on proper terminals to insure correct grounding and polarization. After servicing, reconnect power using power switch. DC Compressor –...
SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES The VCC receives one of 3 signals from the adaptor board: OFF, E frequency, and H frequency. OFF STATE CRITERION The VCC control signal is OFF whenever the voltage drive to the compressor relay is off. H (HIGH COOLING CAPACITY) STATE CRITERIA The VCC control signal goes to the frequency when any of the following conditions are detected...
R134a REFRIGERANT SERVICE INFORMATION This product uses R134a refrigerant. This refrigerant requires synthetic Ester Oil in the compressor. This cooling system does not tolerate contamination from any of the following: • Other Refrigerants • Moisture • Petroleum-based Lubricants • Silicone Lubricants •...
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TREAT LIQUID AND VAPORIZED REFRIGERANT WITH RESPECT. IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OF LARGE AMOUNTS OF REFRIGEANT: Vapors from the refrigerant can reduce the oxygen available for breathing and cause suffocation. Refrigerant decomposes rapidly and becomes toxic and corrosive when it reaches approximately 1100° F. Refrigerant can cause skin irritation and frostbite.
EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS A separate set of hoses and hand valves must be maintained for use with sealed systems with R134a refrigerant. Equipment used with CFC refrigerants will contaminate R134a (HFC) sealed systems. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION ILLUSTRATION Tank of Liquid Refrigerant – Care should be taken to be sure the proper refrigerant is available.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION Purging Hose Configuration – This arrangement of three 4’ to 6’ hoses with low-loss fittings and a ¼” male flare Tee fitting can be used to purge a sealed system for both operating and non-operating compressor situations. No hand valves are required.
Page 15
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION Swaging Kit – A swaging tool kit may be needed to expand system tubing to fit replacement parts. (Fig. 19) Heat Gun – A heat gun can be used to heat a non-operating compressor or the evaporator during purge and the refrigerant tank to increase charging pressure. Many heat guns have a stand that allows continuous operation while other repairs are made.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION Inspection Mirror, Tubing Cutter, Triangular File and Steel Brush – The inspection mirror should be small enough to inspect in tight spaces around joints. A mini-cutter will be required to cut tubing in tight spaces where a standard cutter will not turn.
WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator using power switch before servicing. Wires removed during disassembly must be replaced on proper terminals to insure correct earth ground and polarization. After servicing, reconnect power using power switch. Evacuation and Charging CAUTION: To avoid risk of fire, sealed refrigeration system must be air free.

Low Voltage Board Check Points WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator using power switch before servicing. Wires removed during disassembly must be replaced on proper terminals to insure correct earth ground and polarization. After servicing, reconnect power using power switch.
High Voltage Board Check Points WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator using power switch before servicing. Wires removed during disassembly must be replaced on proper terminals to insure correct earth ground and polarization. After servicing, reconnect power using power switch.
VARIABLE CAPACITY COMPRESSOR (VCC) CONTROL UNIT The adapter board sends a frequency signal to the inverter. Typically the adapter board will send a 3mA current and 5VDC (square wave) signal. The frequency can be checked with a Fluke meter that reads frequency. There is a self check provision on the adapter board that occurs during the first 45 seconds after the refrigerator is powered up.
