Section 4 Component Teardown
4-1
- IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE A ROOM AIR CONDITIONER UNIT FROM ITS INSTALLATION,
USE PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES AS UNITS ARE HEAVY AND COULD FALL RESULTING IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. PULLING A UNIT FROM ITS INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY BE
PERFORMED BY A TRAINED AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR INSTALLER.
- TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, POWER TO A ROOM AIR CONDITIONER MUST BE DISCONNECTED
WHENEVER ACCESSING AND/OR REMOVING COMPONENTS POWERED BY ELECTRICITY OR
COMPONENTS NEAR OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.
- AFTER SERVICE IS COMPLETED, BE SURE ALL SAFETY-GROUNDING CIRCUITS ARE COMPLETE, ALL
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE SECURE, AND ALL ACCESS PANELS ARE IN PLACE.
- IF UNIT WAS USED PRIOR TO SERVICE, THE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY WILL BE HOT.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY GEAR WHEN WORKING WITH
COMPRESSORS.
WARNING
COMPONENT TEARDOWN
This section explains how to access and remove components from Frigidaire Room Air Conditioners, and has been
arranged in such a way as to simulate which components would need to be removed first in order to gain access
to other components. When following a component removal procedure, it may be necessary to reference another
component removal procedure listed earlier in this section.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before continuing, please take note of the WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES below.
- Metal edges may be sharp. Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when servicing
evaporators and condensers to avoid personal injury.
- If working in the compressor area, remember that compressor and tubing may be hot.
CAUTION
To discharge the high voltage capacitor, wait for 60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of
the high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the high-voltage rectifier) against the
chassis with the use of an insulated screwdriver.
CAUTION
When handling and or replacing a control board it is important that the technician have a wrist ground
strap on and connected to the cabinet or another grounding position to prevent static electricity from
damaging the board.
CAUTION
Certain models will be grouped together as the procedure and components are similar with only minor differences.
Due to the number of models within the series, some teardown procedures may vary from the descriptions given in
this section.
