dogcow Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I was removing a malfunctioning cooling unit. first time doing this when i took the delivery chute out a piece of metal came out from under(?) it. it is a piece of aluminum and i cant figure out how it goes back in or if its needed. my machine had some "kit" pieces on to restrict airflow that my repair guy said werent needed does anyone know if this is one of them, does it need to go back in. i think it was mounted over the coils/fan under the chute somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 If it is bent at about 45 degrees it is probably the deflector that goes on the top of the condensor. You would place this on the top of the condensor with the bend to the back slanting upwards. This is to help direct airflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is to help direct airflow. ok so it goes between the condensor and the delivery chute basically? that sounds like the right part, also makes sense why i couldnt make it fit back in properly when i took the cooling unit out. hopefully when i get the new unit tomorrow it will fit in properly thanks a lot!

Technivend Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 There are suppose to be some clips on the top of the evaporator mounting ears that this would slip into. They are probably rusted off and/or broken off. You get vibration if the clips aren't used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 bill thanks, i noticed a rust spot where the clip should be, so i used that to line it up i found one of the clips it looks like it went in right. does it really matter if the deck is bolted down?the new deck didnt line up right with the holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 does it really matter if the deck is bolted down?the new deck didnt line up right with the holes Well, yes and no. If it is not secure when you go and move the machine you could damage the unit. It will work without it bolted down but I would suggest just drilling a hole and get at least one bolt in there.
