CABINETTOUCH-UPPROCEDURE
Vinyl gaskets are used on all models. Lacquer repairs can be made on all areas of
the cabinet except any painted surface that comes in contact with the vinyl gasket.
Since prolonged contact of vinyl gaskets with lacquer will soften the lacquer,
repairs in these areas should not be attempted.
Lacquer Refinishing
The following steps to touch-up or refinish a acrylic painted cabinet, except in
gasket contact areas.
1. Sand out spot to be repaired with 360 or 400 wet-or-dry sandpaper. Finish
sanding to feather edge with 600 wet-or-dry sandpaper. Wipe area dry. Hand
rub with fine rubbing compound (Dupont VZ1090® or equivalent), the area
extending at least six inches beyond edges of lacquer repair spot. Wipe com-
pound off and wash area with Naphtha. Dry with clean cloth.
2. Prepare bare metal with Sol-Kleen®cleaner and rust remover. Reduce
cleaner with two parts water, and apply with a clean wet rag. Do not touch
painted surface with this cleaner. Stubborn or deep seated rust can be
removed by applying cleaner with steel wool.
3. Before cleaner dries, wipe surface dry with clean rag.
4. Wipe over surface thoroughly second time with solution of 50-50 alcohol and
water. Wipe again with clean dry rags, preferably new cheesecloth.
5. Allow to dry for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Apply primer surfacer, reduced by approximately equal parts of lacquer
thinner, to build bare metal area up to surrounding surface. Any imperfections
which primer has not filled should be knifed out with lacquer type putty glaze.
7. If no putty glaze is used, allow to dry about 30 minutes and, if necessary,
sand out lightly with 360 wet-or-dry sandpaper. If putty glaze is used, allow
about three hours before sanding with sandpaper and water. Remove
sanding residue thoroughly by wiping with clean rag soaked in naphtha.
Wiping surface with tack rag will remove dust and lint.
8. Finish repair with two or more coats of lacquer (reduce approximately one
part of lacquer to 1½ parts of thinner). Finally, apply mist coat of lacquer
thinner to flow out surface.
NOTE
Prepare surface of bare metal with Sol-Kleen® regardless if
rust is present.

Section B - Refrigerator Cabinet
CABINETTOUCH-UPPROCEDURE(CONT.)
9. Patched area should be allowed to dry three or more hours before rubbing
with compound or polish.
This procedure also applies to the complete refinishing of the cabinet, except
gasket contact areas. All damaged areas should be repaired as outlined in steps 1
through 6 on the previous page. The overall surface of the cabinet should be
sanded thoroughly and cleaned as outlined in step 7.
The cabinet should be given two or more coats of touch-up lacquer and polished
as outlined in steps 8 and 9.

Section C - Electrical Components
ELECTRICALGROUNDING
All refrigerators are equipped with a power supply cord incorporating a three-prong
grounding plug and a ground wire which is attached to the refrigerator cabinet for
protection against shock hazard. Each electrical component is either cabinet
mounted or connected through a ground wire to the cabinet to complete the
ground. Certain components, such as defrost timers, may be double insulated and
do not require a ground wire.
Ensure the electrical wall receptacle is of the three prong type and is properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and/or local codes.
COMPRESSOR
Electrical Components and Circuits
The new series of very high efficiency compressor is equipped with all new
electrical components consisting of a solid state PTC relay with a thermally
operated overload protector, and a run capacitor.
Solid State Relay
The solid state relay has no moving parts. It consists of a PTC resistor mounted in
a plastic case with appropriate terminals. PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient)
simply denotes a resistor which increases in resistance as its temperature is
increased. The self-heating PTC resistor used in the solid state relay has the
unique characteristic of changing from low to very high resistance very abruptly,
thus serving as an on-off switch. (See Figure C1.)
The solid state relay plugs directly onto the compressor start
and run terminals. Relay terminal 1 is for the neutral connection,
A run capacitor is connected to relay terminals 2 and 3, so it is
connected in parallel with the PTC resistor. Terminals 5 and 6
are internal; 5 is connected to the main winding and 6 to the
start winding. One side of the 120 VAC power is connected to
relay terminal 1. The other side of line is connected to the
overload protector. (See figure C1.)
