Repair Procedures: Thermostatic Expansion Valve

1.  Remove front panel.

2.  If the machine was in operation, push and release 

the off button to shut it down.

3.  Disconnect electrical power.

4.  Shut ball and liquid line access valves to isolate 

machine.

5.  Recover refrigerant from head.

6.  Remove insulation covering expansion valve and 

bulb.

7.  Remove strap securing bulb to suction line.

8.  Unsweat the expansion valve from the liquid line. 

Remove it.

9.  Unsweat the drier from the liquid line. Remove it.

10. Connect nitrogen to discharge access valve.

11. Immediately place new valve in ice machine.

12. Open nitrogen bottle and braze expansion valve 

inlet and outlet joints together. Braze new drier 

into system.

13. Shut off nitrogen, shut access valves.

14. Evacuate to at least 300 microns.

15. Open ball and liquid access valves

16. Attach bulb to suction line. Position at 4 or 8 

o'clock on the tube. Secure tightly but do not crush 

the bulb with the strap.

17. Attach valve and bulb insulation.

18. Reconnect electrical power.
