Fan and Blower Assembly Removal
The fan and blower assembly is removed as an
assembly. Two screws secure the assembly to the
unit base. Three screws along the each side of the
condenser fasten into a metal bar that slides into the fan
and blower assembly.
To remove the fan and blower assembly:
1. Disconnect power supply from unit.
2. Remove the front panel and cabinet wrapper/sleeve.
Remove the control panel from its installation
position but do not disconnect from wire harness.
Remove the top two styrofoam sections of the
blower compartment.
3. Discharge capacitor. 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.
4. The fan motor wire harness passes through the
control system bulkhead. Disconnect the fan motor
wire leads from the capacitor and control board.
Remove ground wire from control system bulkhead.
5. Pull fan motor wire harness through hole in control
system bulkhead.
6. Extract the 3 screws from each side of condenser.
(See Figure 4-118)
7. Extract the two screws securing the bottom of the
fan and blower assembly to the unit base.
(See Figure 4-118)
8. Carefully lift the fan and blower assembly upwards
until free of condenser. The metal side brackets may
fall out of the fan and blower assembly as it is lifted
of the unit base.
