  1. I have a AP320 a la carte that I need to work on. I haven't been able to find much info on how to remove the compressor assembly.  I have a new fan to install and am a little stumped on where to start. I purchased a DS2900 evaporator fan replacement kit and the instructions dont really go over the removal process.  Hoping for some direction. Thanks

      Are you sure you want to get into this?  This is a major undertaking.  You might want to pay a good tech to do it for you.  There are a million things to do to get it in and out and to check for when you have the unit out.  There may be a bunch of updates that the cooling unit needs while you have it out of the machine depending on how old the machine is and if any updates were already done, and you will likely need to replace some gaskets and seals so you don't have air leaks after you put it back together.  Using a tech is a crap shoot here too because not every tech knows this machine nor cares how important it it that everything in the cooling unit is correct and right or it won't work properly - most don't even stock the parts needed to reseal one of them.

      To start with, what is the history of the machine?  How old is it, how long have you had it, what work have you done on it before this and what do you know of it's repair history before you got it?  What errors have you seen lately and what symptoms did you have that make you think you need a fan motor besides the fact that they fail?  Do you have a manual and understand the functions of the cooling system, defrost system, error system?  Have you always maintained the correct date and time in the logic board so that you have accurate information on errors, or at least done so lately?  Does the machine lose it's date and time because you haven't replaced the battery on the logic board?  All of this makes a huge difference in diagnosing the unit.

      Thanks for your response, I was able to get it out and I replaced the fan with an aftermarket one that goes on top of the evaporator so that it eliminates the issues with it freezing. So far so good. I bought this used and only had it working for about 6 months before the fan froze up and took the motor out.  Again thanks for your reply. I'm sure I will have more questions as they come up. I will definitely get all the time and date set up. I didnt realize that was important but will be sure to do it when I get it placed. Is the battery just a 9volt? Thanks again.

      You need to purchase the exact battery from Vendors Exchange or D&S Vending as it's specific to the machine.
