Figure 4-4. Fan motor brushes
To check brushes proceed as follows :
a. With unit off and battery disconnected, remove brush
cap (item 1, Figure 4-4.; 2 per motor).
b. Remove brushes (item 2; 2 per motor) and check the
length of the brush. If the length is less than 1/4 inch (6
mm) the brushes should be replaced.
c. Blow out the brush holder with low pressure air to re-
move any carbon dust in the holder. This dust could
prevent a good contact between the brushes and
comutator.
d. Remove the back cover of the motor and inspect the
comutator. If the comutator is heavily grooved, polish
it using fine sandpaper; do not use abrasive paper.
Wipe out any accumulation of greasy material using a
clean rag dampened with solvent. Reassemble the
motor; install new brushes and replace cap.

4.14.1 Replacing Solenoid Coil
It is not necessary to remove the refrigerant charge
when replace the coil (see Figure 4-5.).
a. Remove coil snap cap, voltage plate and coil assem-
bly. Disconnect leads and remove coil junction box if
necessary.
b. Verify coil type, voltage and frequency. This informa-
tion appears on the coil voltage plate and the coil
housing.
c. Place new coil over enclosing tube and then install
voltage plate and snap cap.

4.14.2 Replacing Valve Internal Parts
a. Remove the refrigerant charge. (Refer to paragraph
4.7).
b. Remove coil snap cap, voltage cover and coil assem-
bly. Remove the enclosing tube.
c. Check for foreign material in valve body.
d. Check for damaged plunger and O-ring. If O-ring is to
be replaced, always put refrigerant oil on O-rings be-
fore installing.
CAUTION
Do not damage or over tighten the enclos-
ing tube assembly. Also make sure all parts
are placed in the enclosing tube in proper
sequence to avoid premature coil burn-out.
e. Tighten enclosing tube.
f. Install coil assembly, voltage cover and snap cap.
g. Evacuate, dehydrate and recharge unit. Refer to
paragraphs 4.9.3 and 4.10.2.
h. Start unit and check operation.
