Replacement of bevmax 4 compressor deck

[Chard]

We're running enough of these I knew what day would come. Never had to do a compressor on a bevmax 4. Has anyone done it? How much work is it?

If it's still like the design of the 2 and 3 then you have to pull the bottom shelves out to access the unit from inside the cabinet.  It may then pull out from the front like the 5800 did but I've only done a fan motor on one of these, never pulled it out completely.  Just the fan motor itself was a golpher.

Its not too evil, just a little time consuming. 

1. Empty and remove the bottom two shelves.

2.  Remove the top cover over the refrigeration area (8 screws) . You will have to angle it to get it in and out.

3. Remove the cover from the front of the evaporator.

4. Carefully remove two sensors from the front of the evaporator.

5.  Remove the slanted cover on the left. 

6. Disconnect  the electrical connectors to the compressor and fans. 

7. In front of the condenser there is handle clamp. There should be a zip tie holding it down. Cut the zip and release the handle.

8. On the left side of the deck is a bolt that pushes in a clamp to hold the deck in place. Unscrew till you get maximum clearance.

9. Carefully slide the deck to left and lift it out. You may want to put padding down over the bottom carriage assembly. It can be done by one person, but easier if you have two people.

10. Installation is in reverse order.

11. Be sure to reinstall the permagum when reinstalling the covers. You don't want any airleaks. If its hard, unpliable and unusable you can get a pound package at Lowe's for a couple dollars. 

11.  Be sure to wash your hands before installing the cover panels. They are a pain to get clean if you get grease or grime on them.

12. Bonus tip, before putting the panels back on. Go into service mode and run a relay toggle test on the compressor and fans.  

 

AZVendor:    I have found it a lot easier to pull the deck out to work on the fan motors. Some seriously demented engineer designed their location.

That is exactly what I needed!  Thank you!

The bevmax 4 deck will pull out the back. Remove the front cover in front of the deck. There is a handle on the deck, raise it as it will prevent you pulling the deck out as it catches on the bottom floor vent. There is a clamp of sorts on the left side of the deck that you must loosen. Remove the vent cover on the back and pull the deck out. There may also be a pin on the bottom of the deck so you have to raise the deck slightly when you pull.
