Remove Fan and Cover

CONVECTION COOLING

This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling 
system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet 
temperature, cools product faster and increases energy 
efficiency. 

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air 
from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back 
into the refrigerated zone.

The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay 
at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the 
evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed 
over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2 
minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can 
be modified through the service menu.

Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door 
switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will 
stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will 
either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not 
currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate 
air and clear any condensation that may have appeared 
on glass doors and shelves. 

Note: 

If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator 

fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.

In order to operate efficiently, the evaporator fan blade 
and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust 
buildup. 

Evaporator Fan Replacement

Should the evaporator fan need to be replaced follow the 
steps below. 

1. Remove any product from the unit.

2. Uninstall unit.

3. Disconnect power to the unit.

4. Remove rear cover from unit.

5. Disconnect fan electrical connection at rear of unit.

6. Remove insulating foam from refrigerant line pass-

7. Remove internal wine racks. 

8. Remove the mounting screws from the rear only of the 

slide assemblies. The slides can pivot down from the 
front mounting screws providing ample space to 
remove evaporator cover.

9. Remove thermistor cover.

10.Remove two evaporator cover screws from top of 

evaporator cover.

11.Grasp evaporator cover, pull the top forward and up as 

bottom of cover is installed behind the front edge of 
the drain trough.

12.While pulling the evaporator cover clear of the unit, it 

may be necessary to use your free hand to manipulate 
the fan plug end through the pass-through hole.
