Service and Disassembly Procedures
! WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and discharge
capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures require power to be
connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or operational.
The following paragraphs describe how to disassemble
unit under test. Disassembly to some extent is required
to install unit, to perform troubleshooting procedures, and
to remove and replace failed components.
Component names used throughout disassembly
procedures are the same as those used in Parts
Manuals.
For quicker reassembly, disassemble unit under test only
to extent necessary to troubleshoot and repair. Unless
noted, reassembly is opposite of disassembly.
WARNING!
Front Support and Toe Panel Removal
Removal of Front Support and Toe Panel will allow access
to the Water Valve, Float Switch Assembly, Electrical
Junction Box, hoses, thermostats, Start Capacitor and
Motor/Pump Assembly.
Removal
1. Disconnect power to the machine.
2. The Front Support Panel is held by 2 screws, one
each side. Remove both screws.
3. The Toe Panel is held by 2 screws, one each side.
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock, ground wires and wires colored like
ground wires are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. The standard accepted color coding for
ground wires is green or green with a yellow
stripe. Electrical components such as the water valve
and motor are grounded through an individual wire
attached to the electrical component. Ground wires
should not be removed from individual components
while servicing, unless the component is to be
removed and replaced. It is extremely important to
replace all removed ground wires before completing
service.
