Anyone have a wiring diagram?

[Repair-man]

I might can help you with a specific problem. What is the unit doing?

 The diagram is sometimes inside the console.

The cover to the control box is missing. It was probably glued to that cover. Another technician pronounced the compressor dead. He was right.
I have been asked to replace the compressor. The discharge line has a solenoid valve on it . I presume a pump down valve. It has no wires going to it. I need to find out where the valve wires connect inside the control panel.

that solenoid valve has go to do with defrost right?

[Repair-man]

I have been asked to replace the compressor.

So, refuse to do so without the proper documents or at least do so with the understanding that no warranty is provided with the repair..


The solenoid is the hot gas defrost for this unit.  If this is the case, it is controlled by the defrost timer or any thermisters which may be in there. If you are jumping into a unit which has a questionable history...get out now...

Without the  documents for this unit you are fumbling in the dark. Obviously something has been extensively repaired on this unit already for the solenoid to not be connected and a bad compressor to boot.

are your sure of the model number ?

[jumptrout51]

JW..yes, I am certain it has to do with defrost. Everything appears to be hot gas defrost.

Repair-man..I believe I only need to connect it to a normally open contact on the timer. This unit has the original compressor and a full refrigerant charge. It is a semi-hermetic unit. I believe a bad valve plate. It runs but does not pump.

RegUs...That is the only model number on the sticker. Manufactured by Frigidaire Commercial Products.

I believe I only need to connect it to a normally open contact on the timer.  I believe a bad valve plate. It runs but does not pump.

I agree on both counts.

I'd connect the coil to a neutral on one side and the  n/o contact on the defrost control. Test the coil in place with a 120v cord to ensure the  valve works.

Fridgidaire Commercial has been taken over by Carrier.
I will look in the morning. Have a lot of downloads from them.

**UPDATE**

I did the compressor changeout on this box.
It has been running fine for 60 days now.
