If the 3 bottom screws to the front panel are accessible
2.
in your application, you can remove them to obtain the
most clearance for the repair. If they are not acces-
sible, you can still proceed with them attached and
pulling the front panel forward from the top end by ap-
proximately 2” inches.
Remove the electrical junction box cover located on the
3.
bottom right hand side by removing the 1 screw on a
small mounting-flange on the front face of the junction
box cover. Lift the cover out and set aside. Once the
cover is removed, the flicker motor and terminal block
will now be visible.
Remove the flicker motor wires from the terminal block
4.
by removing the 3 small Philips screws holding each
wire in place then gently pulling the wires out of the
terminal block. Note their original locations, (black
wire towards the front, white in the middle and brown
to the back). Also note that the white and the brown
wires each include a capacitor lead going into the same
terminal. (The writing on the capacitor should be facing
upward when re-inserting the wires from the new mo-
tor).
Remove the 2 screws holding the flicker motor to the
5.
mounting bracket. Gently pull the motor away from the
flicker rod.
CAUTION:
When removing and replacing the flicker
motor try to keep any slight bending of the flicker rod
minimal so as to not damage it. If flicker rod is damaged, it
should be replaced to ensure proper operation.
Properly orientate the new flicker motor onto the motor
6.
bracket and re-attach with the 2 mounting screws.
Reassemble in the reverse order as above.

switches on the top right. Remove cover and set aside.
Remove the panel that spans across the top front facia.
2.
To do so, locate 4 screws, (2) on the left and (2) right
on the angled part behind the facia. Wires from the
switch housing are connected to this piece so carefully
move it farther down in the body of the unit, to give
some room to access the heater assembly cover.

move the 4 screws, (2) on the far left and (2) on the far
right that hold the element cover to the housing panel.
Disconnect wires from the ends of the elements noting

their original locations. Pliers may be required for grip
when disconnecting the wire/spade connectors.
!
NOTE:
Some of the wires may have a “piggy-back”
connector that allows a second wire to connect to the same
prong as the first wire. (Two wires will connect on one
prong). Try and keep the “piggy-back” connection together
when pulling the wires off the circuit board.
Using a 3/8” ratchet or wrench remove the hex head
7.
screw from both sides of the element. Remove ele-
ments from the element housing and replace with the
new elements.
Reassemble in the reverse order as above.

CAUTION:
When re-installing covers and panels, be
sure the wires are guided and tucked into the proper open-
ings along the right side so they are not pinched and allows
enough space to reinstall panel.
