6. HOT GAS VALVE
IMPORTANT
Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
Do not replace the Drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made.
1) Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power source.
2) Remove the Louver (Right Side) and Rear Mesh Panel.
3) Recover the refrigerant and store it in a proper container, if required by an applicable law
(See “1. [b] REFRIGERANT RECOVERY”).
4) Disconnect the Hot Gas Valve leads.
5) Remove the screw and the Solenoid Coil.
6) Remove the valve and Drier using brazing equipment.
7) Braze the new Hot Gas Valve with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 0.2 - 0.3 bar.
WARNING
Always protect the valve body by using a damp cloth to prevent the valve from
overheating. Do not braze with the valve body exceeding 120°C.
8) Install the new Drier (See “3. DRIER”).
9) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (10 bar) and soap bubbles.
10) Evacuate the system and charge it with refrigerant (See “1. [c] EVACUATION AND
RECHARGE”).
11) Attach the Solenoid Coil to the valve body, and secure it with the screw.
12) Connect the leads.
13) Replace the panels in their correct positions.
14) Plug in the icemaker or connect the power source.
