4-29. Cleaning, Inspection and Repair
Clean, inspect and repair vent damper and control
as follows:
a. Wipe off all loose dirt with a dry cloth.
b. Inspect push-pull control for smooth operation
of core in casing. Inspect vent damper for bent or
broken condition. Replace defective parts. Inspect
for loose or damage rubber seal or damper. Cement
loose rubber or replace rubber if damaged. Inspect
actuator for bent condition. Straighten actuator or
replace as required.
4-30. Installation
a. Vent Control Actuator. Refer to figure 4-7 and
install actuator, screw, two spring washers and nut.
b. Vent Damper. Refer to figure 4-8 and install
vent damper in opening in housing. Secure vent
dam per cover to housing with two screws and lock
washers.
c. Push-Pull Control. Refer to figures 4-7 and 4-8
and install control as follows:
(1) With one nut on each end of outer casing of
push-pull control, install ends of control through
opening in housing. Install outer nuts and insert
ends of wire core into mechanical posts of damper
and actuator. Tighten outer nuts on casing.
(2) Install clamp, spacer, screw, nut and
washer.
(3) Refer to paragraph 4-27 and adjust the
control.
(4) Refer to paragraph 4-21 and install
housing covers.
(5) Refer to paragraph 4-18 and install
evaporator inlet and outlet louvers.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
4-31. General
The electrical system consists of the evaporator and
condenser fan motors, electric heaters and heater
thermostatic switch, junction box, control module,
transformer, rectifier, condenser fan motor, high-
low speed thermostatic switch and connecting
harnesses and wiring. Single phase air conditioners
are equipped with motor capacitors and a com-
pressor-start relay. Three phase air conditioners are
equipped with phase sequence relays. Electrical
assemblies and groups of associated components
are covered in separate sections.
Warning: Disconnect air conditioner power
supply before performing maintenance work
on electrical system.
4-32. Testing and Inspecting the Electrical
System
Troubleshooting procedures for testing the elec-
trical system to isolate cause of trouble are covered
in paragraph 4-12. Additional detailed test in-
form at ion is contained in specific paragraphs
covering the electrical components. Use a con-
tinuity tester or multimeter set on low ohms range
to test for continuity. Use an insulation tester or
multimeter set on high ohm range to test for shorts
between the circuit in a component and the outside
case of the component. When testing air electrical
component, check also for visual damage and
inspect all wiring in the area for damage or loose
connections.
4-33. Wiring Harnesses and Leads
a. General. The electrical circuits in the air
conditioner are completed by individual wire leads
or by wire leads laced or enclosed in a loom to form
a wiring harness. All of the wiring carries code
numbers. When testing, repairing, or replacing the
wiring harness or individual wires, refer to the
wiring diagrams.
b. Inspection. Inspect all wiring installations for
cracked or frayed insulation material. Pay par-
ticular attention to wires passing through holes in
the frame or around sharp edges. Repair or replace
defective wiring. Inspect electrical connectors and
fittings for damage or broken condition. Replace
defective connectors and fittings.
c. Testing. Test for continuity in leads or wiring
harnesses by disconnecting each end. Where wires
terminate in an electrical connector, disconnect
connector from corresponding receptacle connector
or plug connector. Touch the test probes of a
continuity tester or multimeter set on low ohms
range to ends of wire or to corresponding pin of
connector. If continuity is not indicated, repair or
replace wire.
d. Repair. Remove insulation to expose 1/2 inch
of bare wire on each side of break. Twist the wire
ends together and solder the splice. Cover the splice
with rubber or PVC electrical tape and friction tape
making
certain to cover all the repaired area.
Replace broken terminal lugs with exact duplicates.
To replace electrical connectors. unsolder wires
from solder wells of inserts. Install new connector
and insert ends of wires in solder wells. Solder wires
in place. Check connections carefully. Refer to
wiring diagram.
