Steps
☠️ WARNING ☠️ Turn off and unplug your machine before starting
⚠️CAUTION ⚠️ Drain the chiller completely prior to removal.
- Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 4 screws to open the exhaust system access panel on the back of the machine.
- Locate the side of the chiller: the power plug, signal wire, and 2 silicone hoses that connect the chiller inlet and the chiller outlet.
- Unplug the power plug from the chiller by gently pulling it out. Remove the signal wire from the chiller by unscrewing its retaining ring and then pulling it out.
- Wrap a piece of masking tape around one of the hoses, and place a second piece of tape on the side of the chiller that the hose is connected to.
This will indicate which fitting that hose connects to and ensure that both hoses get reconnected properly. - Using a pair of small wire cutters, clip the zip ties that connect the hoses to the chiller.
⚠️CAUTION ⚠️ Do this at the CHILLER end of the hoses, NOT the MACHINE end.
- Gently pull the hoses off of the chiller inlet and outlet. Have a towel or bucket ready to catch any water spillage.
- Remove the 4 Phillips head screws that hold the chiller into the machine; one on each corner of the chiller’s rear panel.
- Gently slide the chiller from the machine. Use the open side panel to carefully move the chiller out of the back of the machine.
