1. Carry a fire extinguisher in your truck. Keep it within reach
when using a torch. Check fire extinguisher periodically
to be sure it is fully loaded and functional.
2. Know how to handle oxyacetylene equipment safely. Lock
the equipment in an upright position in the truck and at
the job site.
3. Use dry nitrogen or carbon dioxide to pressurize the sys-
tem for leak checking. Always use a good regulator. Be
careful not to exceed 150 psig test pressure in the hermetic compressor.
4. Wear safety goggles and gloves when recovering refrig-
erant from a system.
5. Attend shop safety meetings.
START-UP
Refer to operating instructions in Owner ’s Guide provided with room air conditioner. Refer to Table 1 for specific
model number information to properly service,maintain,and
disassemble the unit.
SERVICE
General Notes —
tions are provided to assist the trained and qualified service
technician in repairing or replacing components of Carrier
room air conditioner model offerings for 1993-1995. Room
air-conditioning models are cooling-only units. These instructions contain disassembly photos for Model 73TC
(Siestat I and Siesta II). A typical 73TC unit is shown in
Fig. 1. Unit physical data is found in Tables 2-8.
IMPORTANT: Repairing and servicing air conditioners can be hazardousfor untrained individuals. The instructions printed in this publication are for properly
trained and qualified Carrier service technicians only.
Before working on any air conditioner, be sure to first
disconnect all electric power to theunit to avoid the possibility of electrical shock and personal injury.
Before disconnecting, discharge capacitors by shorting capacitors across terminals.
Shield coils with cardboard to protect hands against injury from sharp metal edgeswhen removing compressor and
other components.
When disassembling wiring, use numbered stickers to identify wire leads and terminals. This aids in quick, accurate
reassembly.

Table 1 — Model Number Nomenclature
Check clearances around scroll and housing before installing fans. Before securing fan(s) fasteners, rotate fan by
hand to ensure ample clearance.
Refer to Carrier Standard Service Techniques, Chapters 1
and 2, for information on checking motors; removing
refrigerant; adding oil; and evacuating, dehydrating, and charging system. Pay particular attention to all safety warnings
for these procedures.
NOTE: In Carrier Standard Service Techniques, refrigerant
removal must always include recovering the refrigerant, not
allowing it to escape to the atmosphere.
Compressor Replacement
Stand clear of compressor terminals when working on
compressors. With system under pressure, terminals may
blow causing personal injury.
Observe the same safety procedures for rotary compressors as for reciprocating compressors.
When changing compressors:
1. Follow all safety codes. Reminder: use protective goggles,
work gloves, and water-soaked quenching cloth.
2. Shut off all electrical power to unit by removing power
cord from outlet, then disconnect all wiring from the
compressor.
3. Apply field-supplied tap-a-lines to the true (closest to
compressor) suction and discharge connections of the
compressor.
4. Recover the refrigerant charge from the unit. After recovering, cut the discharge and suction line process tubes
below the tube crimps. If you choose a good tubing
location for cutting the refrigerant lines initially, the location is easily accessible when making the final joints.
You can braze the oil piping stub into the new compressor fittings more easily before the compressor is put back
into the unit.
Oil vapor in piping stubs canignite from torch flame
and cause serious injury. Exercise extreme care when
brazing, and keep brazing cloth and fire extinguisher handy for emergency use.
5. Connect a nitrogen supply to the unit at one of the tapa-line connectors (5 psig maximum flow), leaving the
other connector opentotheatmosphere.Brazeanglevalves
with stubs to each process tube.
6. Remove compressor from unit. Refer to Accessing Compressor, Fan Motor, Outdoor Coil Sections, page 7.
7. Removetap-a-linesfromsuctionanddischargelines.Carefully braze the holes closed from where the tap-a-lines
were removed.
8. For proper cleaning and flushing, use the Carrier
Totalclaimt recovery system or a comparable refrigerant recycling system.
9. Install new compressor and braze into place with fieldsupplied copper slip couplings.
10. Connect wiring: replace wire terminals if necessary.
11. Proceed with evacuation and charging. Pinch off lines
where angle valves were added. Cut offanglevalvesabove
pinch-off, and braze tubes.
12. Start up unit.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
General
CLEANING — Clean cooling coil and condenser (outdoor)
coil. Hold flashlight behind coil to see if all spaces are clear.
Use a hooked wire to remove dirt. Dust accumulation obstructs or reduces airflow and results inlossof capacity .Coils
may be vacuumed when dry. Outdoors, unit can be brushed
with a stiff brush and fins blown out with compressed air.
Thoroughly clean basepan, motors, fan wheels,othercomponents, and all drain passages. Vacuum insulation. Clean
all inside paintedsurfaceswithmilddetergenttoremovegrease.
Clean cabinet and grille. Mild detergents reduce electrostatic charges on plastic sections of the grille and are good
cleaners. Do not usecarbon tetrachloride, solvents, or waxes
containing solvents to clean plastic sections.
PAINTING — Paint any parts that show evidence of rust
with a good rust-resistant paint.
WIRING — Check all wiring for deterioration and all electrical contacts for tightness and lack of corrosion.
MOUNTING — Make sure unit is secure in window, and
level from left to right and from front to rear according to
installation instructions provided.
Check fans to ensure they are correctly positioned, centered in orifice, and tight on shaft.
2
LEAKS — Check any connectionsthat show evidence of oil
or leaks. When unit is properly installed, centered, and leveled (see Owners’ Guide), check gaskets and wing panels
for possible air leakage.
CONTROLS — Check unit to ensure all controls are functioning correctly and unit operation is normal.
Vibrationscan cause unwanted noise. Check to be sure no
piping is vibrating against any side of unit.
System Cleaning/Flushing — For proper cleaning
and flushing, use the Carrier Totalclaim recovery system, or
a comparable refrigerant recycling system.
