Installation Notes

Compressor replacement must be performed by a technician certified under EPA Section 608 for refrigerant handling. Always disconnect power to the appliance and recover all refrigerant from the sealed system before removing the existing compressor. The refrigeration circuit must be evacuated to deep vacuum before recharging with the correct refrigerant type and charge weight as specified on the appliance data plate.
