1.3 Before Servicing

•

•

• Always disconnect power to any DCS product before attempting to service it. Always verify that power has been disconnected.

If the unit has been running, use caution around the condenser, compressor, and copper tubing. These areas may be very hot.

Use caution around the evaporator, condenser fins and baseplate edges. These areas are sharp.

Refrigerant is under high pressure. Always evacuate any system before attempting to open it.

Reasonable care and safe work methods should be practiced when working on any DCS product. Never work with energized electrical equipment in wet or damp areas.

Use an appropriate work area and location when performing repairs. You will find that it is easier to repair undercounter units if they are set on a raised platform or workbench.

Always wear protective safety glasses and gloves when working on any DCS product.

Any refrigerant, whether CFC, HCFC, or HFC (R-12, R-22, or R-134a), must be recovered. Federal regulations prohibit the intentional venting or release of refrigerants during the service repair or disposal of an appliance.

INSTALLATION – ESSENTIAL rEQuIrEMENTS

2.1 power

•

•

•

• The appliance must be installed so the power plug is accessible.

To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerated drawer to its own power point.

Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension cords, or double adapters, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double adapter from a wall outlet socket.

For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the upper left side, inner wall when the

door is open.

It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed) with a three prong receptacle. Never cut or break off

the grounding prong to fit a two-prong outlet.

•

•

2.2 Select location

•

• The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. Choose a location where the unit will be out of

direct sunlight, away from heat sources and moisture.

Units with fan cooled condensers can be built into an under counter cabinet or freestanding.

Your refrigerated drawer should be operated in a properly ventilated area with ambient temperatures not to exceed

below 40 degrees and above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Installation should be such that the unit can be moved for servicing if necessary.

2.3 caBinet clearance

•

• Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the unit. Keep this area open and clear

of any obstructions.

The adjacent cabinets and counter top can be built around the unit as long as no top trim or

counter top is installed lower than the top of the upper drawer.

Figure 2.1 Leveling Leg

2.4 StaBility

•

•

•

• It is important that all four corners of the refrigerated drawer base are supported firmly on a solid level surface to elimi

nate any cabinet movement.

Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet and poor sealing of the

doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter the food storage areas causing the temperature to increase,

resulting in food spoilage and food loss.

Position your refrigerated drawer. Turn front leveling legs clockwise (Fig. 2.1) to lower the front leveling leg. Raise the

front of the appliance until it is stable and level.

The front leveling legs should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet

should not rock or wobble.

WARNINg

A free standing refrigerated drawer must have an anti-tip device installed for safety.

ANTI-TIP INSTALLATION INSTruCTIONS

A free standing refrigerated drawer must have an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the drawer is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged when you push the drawer back into the original location. If device is not properly engaged, there is a risk of the drawer tipping over, causing property or personal injury if you or a child stand, sit, or lean on an open drawer.

2.13 floor moUnt inStallation:

The anti-tip bracket can be located on the floor in the left or right rear corner of the refrigerated drawer.

WARNING

• ALL DRAWERS CAN TIP

• INJURY COULD RESULT

Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:

1. Decide where you want to place the Drawer. Make a temporary line on the floor in line with the drawer face, “A” as shown in Figure 06.

2. At the center point where the drawer will be, draw a center line “B”

(Fig. 2.7) perpendicular to line “A” to the rear of the unit. Make a mark on line “B “ 24-1/2 inches from line “A”.

3. Then make another perpendicular line “C”at this mark.

Make a mark on line “C” 11-1/2 inches from line “B” either right or left.

4. At this mark, drill 1/8” diameter pilot hole in the floor.

5. Fasten the bracket to the floor thru the slotted hole (see

Fig. 2.8) using the appropriate fasteners for the type of floor.

6. Position the unit so that the leveling leg engages into the anti-tip bracket (Fig. 2.8).

SEALEd SYSTEM

3.1 introdUction

The following should always be practiced with any sealed system that has been opened. ONLY OPEN THE SEALED

SYSTEM AS A LAST RESORT AND AS A FINAL DIAGNOSIS. Always check other areas of operation such as wiring, airflow, thermostat, etc. before opening up the sealed system. Many times these areas can resemble sealed system problems.

The diagnosis of a sealed system can be determined by accurate pressure and temperature measurements. Also, checking the evaporator frost pattern is a great way to tell if a charge is adequate within a system.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Use a leak detection system that will detect R-134a refrigerant. Leaks need to be found on any leaking system BE-

FORE the repair takes place.

The drier must be replaced anytime the sealed system is opened. Always use a DCS drier. Failure to do so may cause repeated system failure in the future.

Limit time the system is opened. DO NOT EXPOSE THE OPEN SYSTEM FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. This will result in sealed system failure. Leave replacement parts sealed and/or pressurized until ready to install.

The compressor must be replaced if there is a low side leak. Moisture has been drawn into the system if the unit has been running for an extended period of time. Be sure to flush the system with dry nitrogen gas and evacuate to 50 microns before re-charging (see Section 2.2, Low Side Leaks).

A new evaporator assembly must be ordered if the capillary tube is found to be plugged or severely restricted. Restrictions cannot be flushed out.

Be sure to purge the system with dry nitrogen gas after final brazing. This will flush out any air or moisture that may have entered the system before being absorbed into the ester oil.

3.2 low Side leakS

Low side leaks consist of a break in the system at the evaporator, low side (suction) return line, or accumulator. If a leak is found in any of these areas, moisture has probably entered the system. The compressor and drier will have to be replaced and the system will need to be flushed thoroughly with nitrogen gas and evacuated to 50 microns before re-charging.

3.3 high Side leakS

High side leaks consist of a break in the system at the condenser, high side tubing, drier, or capillary tube. If a leak is found in any of these areas, the drier must be replaced and the system can be flushed with nitrogen gas, evacuated to 50 microns, and re-charged.

3.4 reStricted capillary tUBe

Moisture or other contaminants that enter the system can cause deposits in the system. These deposits will usually collect in the capillary tube and form a restriction that cannot be completely removed by flushing. If the capillary tube is found to be restricted, the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and drier should all be replaced.

3.5 acceSS valveS

A temporary access valve can be used to service or evaluate the system. From these access valves, you can evacuate, charge, and recover the system. The access valve can be installed on the compressor’s process tube (this will also be a low pressure side). Be sure to cap off access valve while servicing. This will prevent contamination of the system and/or refrigerant from leaking. After servicing, the access valve should be removed. A pinch-off tool can be used to close the system to remove the access valve and then braze the hole for the access valve to seal the system. Be sure to leak check after brazing.

11

SEALEd SYSTEM

3.6 evaporator froSt pattern

Checking the evaporator frost pattern is a good way to quickly diagnose simple sealed system problems. This can be done by allowing the unit to run (at least 10 minutes) with the door open for at least 5 minutes. This will help speed up the normal frosting of the evaporator plate. By visually inspecting the evaporator and feeling it with your hands, you will see and feel frost across the plate. It is absolutely necessary for the frost to cover the entire evaporator plate. This will ensure the system has been charged to its specified amount or does not have a leak. A partial frost pattern may lead to excessive run times or even 100% run mode. This is because the frost does not reach the area of the evaporator thermistor thus it does not sense the temperature required to cycle the unit off.

3.7 preSSUre and temperatUre

There are a couple of ways to measure temperature of the evaporator plate:

1.

2.

Use a thermocouple to measure the temperature of the evaporator plate. The thermocouple must be secured to the evaporator when taking the measurement.

If it has been determined that there is proper contact between the thermistor and evaporator plate, the thermistor resistance value can be corresponded to the temperature (see Table C in Section 5.2, Thermistors for values).

NOTE: The temperature and pressure reading must be taken while the unit is on and running. Use gage pressure readings from the compressor’s process tube (low side) access valve.

3.8 re-charging

Re-charging of the unit should be done only after diagnosing and repairing the system. Be sure to flush the system with dry nitrogen gas and evacuate to 50 microns before re-charging.

The method for re-charging the unit is by weight using vapor refrigerant. Using manifold gage set-up, hook up charge hoses to the access valve on the compressor’s process tube. If any access valve is attached to the high side process tube, remove it and then seal the tube by brazing before charging. Charge the unit to specified amount (see Section 1.1, Unit Specifications for charge specifications per model).

After re-charging the system, check pressures and refer to Table B for corresponding temperatures and pressures. If pressures are incorrect, check the sealed system, recover the charge, repair, evacuate, and then re-charge.

It is normal to have some condensation or slight frost on the suction line. Typically this will occur towards the end of a run cycle. If the frost continues down the suction line to the compressor, the system is overcharged. It is important that the insulation remains on the suction line and the capillary tube together after any repair and that it is sealed on both ends. Be sure to replace the refrigeration putty in the hole of the foam where the refrigerant lines go through the back of the unit. Spread the putty out evenly filling in the cracks to prevent air from leaking in and out.

SEALEd SYSTEM COMPONENTS

4.1 gaining acceSS to mechanical BaSeplate

The mechanical baseplate is located in the rear of the unit. Most major mechanical and electrical components on the unit mount directly to the baseplate. This creates easy access for servicing of the sealed system and mechanical/electrical components. To gain access to the mechanical baseplate, remove the screws that hold the lower shroud in place and then remove the shroud (see Figure 4.1). To facilitate working on any component mounted to the mechanical base, remove the screws that hold the baseplate to the chair frame and slide out the baseplate enough to allow working room required (see Figures 4.2 and 4.3).

Remove screws.

Remove screws securing the mechanical baseplate.

4.2 compreSSor

The compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system (see Figure 4.4). However, it relies on other parts of the system to function.

Make certain that the other parts of the system are functioning correctly before determining that the compressor is faulty.

Figure 4.4

The following should be observed before concluding the compressor is faulty:

1.

2.

3.

Low high side pressures, warm evaporator plate, cool condenser coil, or little or very low current draw from the unit will indicate a faulty compressor.

Check for continuity between the compressor terminals and the shell of the compressor. If continuity is found, the compressor is faulty and will need to be replaced.

Check for resistance between all compressor terminals. The resistance will vary from terminal to terminal and from compressor to compressor due to age and use. If no resistance is found, the compressor is faulty and will need to be replaced.

4.3 condenSer

The condenser is a steel tube serpentine with copper alloy fins that removes heat from hot, high pressure vapor from the compressor (see Figure 4.8). The most common trouble is lack of airflow from either a restricted intake or exhaust opening in the front of the unit. Lint, dust, hair, and dirt build-up needs to be removed from the condenser periodically to allow the unit to perform properly.

4.4 evaporator

The evaporator uses evaporating refrigerant to remove heat from the inside of the unit ultimately making the interior cold. The shape and size of the evaporator may vary among the models covered by this service manual but the fundamentals are the same

(see Figures 4.9). The RF24D uses a vertical right angle evaporator plate.

It is normal for the evaporator to frost up during its run cycle. This frost will dissipate once the unit reaches its “cut out” temperature and the compressor and fan stop. This condensate water will flow to the rear of the machine in a condensate pan where it will be evaporated from compressor and fan heat. It is very important that the evaporator frosts in a uniform pattern across the plate

(see Section 3.6, Evaporator Frost Pattern). A partial frost pattern can lead to excessive run times and cooling issues.

Figure 4.9:

Evaporator plate used in the RF24D

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

5.1 condenSer fan

The condenser fan is used to force air over the condenser coil. The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor which means that when the compressor is running so is the fan and when the compressor is not running neither is the fan (see Figure 5.1).

Figure 5.1

•

To check the condenser fan:

• Make sure the motor shaft turns freely. This can be done by rotating the fan blade by hand and observing any excessive resistance.

Check for resistance between terminals. If no resistance is found, replace the condenser fan.

Check for continuity between terminals and fan casing. If continuity is found, replace the condenser fan.

Check current draw. Typical current draw will be 0.15 amp without fan resistance. If current draw is 0.19 amp or more, check for resistance in air movement or objects touching the fan blade. If this is not found, replace the condenser fan.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

5.2 thermiStorS

The refrigerated drawers utilize two thermistors: one is known as the evaporator thermistor and the other as the display thermistor. Each thermistor has a different function for input to the electronic control.

Evaporator thermistor:

The evaporator thermistor turns the unit on and off. It is secured to the evaporator or cabinet liner.

Display thermistor:

The display thermistor is connected to the LED display and displays the temperature inside the unit on the display panel.

The following will happen in the event of one or both thermistors fail:

1.

2.

3.

If the evaporator thermistor fails, all loads will be shut off and the unit will not run.

If the evaporator thermistor senses temperature outside of 0-140 degrees F, all loads will be shut off and the unit will not run.

The display panel will flash E3 for an evaporator thermistor failure and E4 for a display thermistor failure. If both thermistors fail, the error codes will be displayed sequentially. An audible alarm will also sound six times every minute if either one or both thermistors fails.

The thermistor can be checked by use of a multimeter with the ability to read resistance. To check the thermistor:

1.

2.

3.

Disconnect and remove thermistor from unit.

Use a reference temperature point that is know (such as an ice bath) and measure the resistance across the wire leads.

Compare the recorded resistance with Table C.

If measured resistance falls outside the resistance given in Table C within 4% of the value, the thermistor is bad and will need to be replaced.

If the thermistor has been tested and is found to be good, check the temperature of the evaporator plate and the resistance of the thermistor. If the temperature of the evaporator plate does not correspond to a proper resistance from the thermistor, check for a proper and secure connection of the thermistor to the evaporator plate bracket.

6.2 Starting the Unit

To start the unit, push and hold for five seconds the “ON/OFF” button located on the display panel. Upon turning the unit on, the display will read the actual temperature inside of the unit. If the interior temperature is greater than 99 degrees F, the display will flash 99 until the temperature drops to 99 degrees F.

6.3 Setting the temperatUre mode

The unit can display either Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C). To do so, press the “F/C” button on the display panel.

6.4 adjUSting the temperatUre control

The setpoint out of the factory is approximately 55 degrees F. The temperature control is adjustable from the low 30s to the high

40s in the refrigerated drawers. The setpoint out of the factory is approximately 38 degrees F. The range or refrigerated drawers, allows flexibility of temperature preferences and provides the ideal food storing temperatures. The temperature can be lowered or raised by first pressing the “SET” button on the display panel. A “SET” icon will be displayed. This icon will turn off 10 seconds after completing the adjustments. Pressing either the “WARMER” or “COOLER” buttons will raise or lower the set temperature by one (1) degree F or C (depending on the setting). NOTE: As with any refrigeration product, there is a slight temperature variance at different locations within the cabinet.

6.5 interior light and Switch

For Refrigerated Drawers:

The light switch will automatically turn on the light when the drawer(s) is opened and off when the drawer(s) is closed. There are two light switches in each drawer unit: one on the top and one on the bottom. They are both located on the inside left hand of the drawers. In addition to turning the light on and off, the light switches also turn the display panel and interior fan(s) on and off.
