REFRIGERATION
(Self Contained Models)
Each self contained model is equipped with
its own condensing unit and control panel
located beneath the display area. The correct
type of refrigerant will be stamped on each
merchandiser’s serial plate. The merchandiser
refrigeration piping is leak tested. The unit is
factory charged with R-290 refrigerant.
These models have a refrigeration system
that uses a hermetic compressor. A capillary
tube is used for metering refrigeration flow
from the condenser to the evaporator. If the
capillary should become plugged or damaged, it
is best to replace the heat exchanger.
WATER OUTLET AND WATER SEAL
These merchandisers have a water seal that
drains into an electric condensate pan, located
beneath the merchandiser. The discharge line
runs to the evaporation pan in order to cool
down discharge line temperature and to gain
capacity and improve efficiency.
The pan uses an SS Relay that modulates
water inside the pan, adjusting the amount of
heat required to evaporate the water .
Ensure the drain hose is properly trapped, and
the drain area is not clogged.
NOTE: All lower base panels must be in place
when the refrigerator is operating. If not, airflow
from the condenser will be directed over the evaporator pan and defrost water in the pan may overflow.
— LOCK OUT / TAG OUT —
To avoid serious injury or death from electrical shock, always disconnect the electrical
power at the main disconnect when servicing
or replacing any electrical component. This
includes, but is not limited to, such items as
doors, lights, fans, heaters, and thermostats.

Before Beginning Any Service or Repair:
Use a hand-held propane leak detector (“sniffer”)
to ensure no propane is present in the immediate
area, the inside of the display case and the inside
of the refrigeration system. R-290 is an odorless
refrigerant. Keep the area clear of all customers
and non-essential or unauthorized personnel.
Only Hussmann or factory
trained technicians should
Verify that all repair parts are identical models
to the ones they are replacing. Do not substitute
parts such as motors, switches, relays, heaters,
compressors, power supplies or solenoids.
Failure to do so can result in an explosion,
death, injury and property damage. Parts
used on hydrocarbon cases must meet specic
UL certication for non-incendive or nonsparking components. Use only Hussmann
approved parts approved through the Hussmann
Performance Parts Website. https://parts.
hussmann.com/
Brazing must not begin before all propane has
been cleared from the immediate area — the
inside of the displays case and the inside of the
refrigeration system.
If a leak is detected, follow store safety
procedures. It is the store’s responsibility to have
a written safety procedure in place. The safety
procedure must comply with all applicable codes
such as local re department’s codes.
At minimum, the following actions are required:
• Immediately evacuate all persons from the
store, and contact the local re department to
advise them that a propane leak has occurred.
• Call Hussmann and/or a qualied service
agent and inform them that a propane sensor has
detected the presence of propane.
• Do not let any persons back into the store
until the qualied service technician has arrived
and that technician advises that it is safe to
return to the store.

STEPS TO RECOVER REFRIGERANT
1. Make sure you are in a well ventilated area before making any service or repair to the refrigeration system.
2. Disconnect all power sources from the system.
Some systems may have more than one plug or
power supply.
3. Tap system with line tap valves, attaching gauges to
the high and low sides of the system.
refrigeration
line tapping
valve
4. Connect hose to an evacuated recovery tank.
Open refrigeration gauges and recovery tank.
CHARGING
A calibrated scale with +/-2 gram accuracy
must be used to charge the system. The charge
amount is shown on the serial plate. Only R-290
grade refrigerant can be used. Standard propane
does not meet the purity/moisture content of
R-290, and therefore cannot be used to charge
cases.
No gas charge adjustments are allowed. When
connecting hoses between the refrigeration
system, manifold gauges, and refrigerant
cylinder, ensure that the connections are secure
and there are no potential sources of ignition
nearby. Ensure that contamination of different
refrigerants does not occur when using charging
equipment.
5. With the suction valve in vacuum, the refrigerant will
be recovered into the recovery tank.
6. Once recovered, close the tank valve and remove
the guage from the tank and connect nitrogen tank
to the system to purge it with nitrogen.

WATER OUTLET AND WATER SEAL
Use dedicated hoses to service R-290 (propane)
refrigeration systems. Hoses or lines should be
as short as possible to minimize the amount of
refrigerant contained in them.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is properly
grounded prior to charging the system with
refrigerant, to avoid the potential for static
build-up.
Component parts shall be replaced with like
components, and servicing shall be done by
factory authorized service personnel only, so
as to minimize the risk of possible ignition
due to incorrect parts or improper service.
Extreme care must be taken not to overll the
refrigeration system. After charging, carefully
disconnect the hoses, attempting to minimize
the quantity of refrigerant released. Further
leak check the service ports, hoses, refrigerant
tanks. The service ports shall be checked for
leaks using a hydrocarbon leak detector with a
sensitivity of 3 grams/year (0.106 Oz/year) leak
rate.
The condensate water outlet is located in the
center of the merchandiser. The outlet has a
factory installed, external water seal.
For self contained models, this water seal
drains into the condensate evaporator pan
located beneath the merchandiser. The pan uses
a thermistor that senses water in the pan and
adjusts the amount of heat required to
evaporate the water. Ensure the drain hose
is properly trapped, and the drain area is not
clogged.
NOTE: All lower base panels must be in place
when the refrigerator is operating. If not, airflow from the condenser will be directed over
the evaporator pan and defrost water in the
pan may overflow.
Refrigeration lines are under pressure.
Refrigerant must be recovered before
attempting any connection or repair.
Thoroughly leak check the service ports. If no
leak is present, use a pinch-off tool to close the
ends of the service tubes before brazing them
shut. Remove all service ports. If a Schrader
valve is used on the compressor service tube,
it must be removed and the previous steps
followed in order to braze the service tube shut.
The electronic controller is located in the cassette compartment. The controller comes factory
set, and is ready for use. The front grille must
be removed in order to access this control.
When removing the grille for this operation or
for condenser cleaning, care must be taken not
to damage the display interface cable. It may be
unplugged during this task.
1. Plug the merchandiser plug into its receptacle.
a. The controller display will illuminate.
b. The interior light will illuminate.
2. After the control preprogrammed time delay
of up to 6 minutes, the compressor and evaporator fan(s) will start if the control is calling
for cooling.
3. The control will cycle the compressor but
may also cycle evaporator fan(s) on and off
determined by the Set-Point and Differential
temperatures.
This cabinet temperature may reflect the refrigeration cycle of the Set-Point and it’s Differential. The most accurate temperature on
a cabinets operation is to verify the product

The values that can be set apply to both keys and the functions that can be activated are:
The controller controls refrigeration temperature.
This is factory installed in the control panel. Adjust
the control to maintain the discharge air temperature
shown.
The factory defined setpoint is required to comply with
energy regulations such as from the Department of
Energy (DOE). If for some reason, colder tempertures are required for customer specific products the
setpoint can be adjusted.
Discharge air temperatures should be measured at
the center of the discharge honeycomb.
Defrosts are time initiated and temperature
terminated. The defrost setting is factory set as
shown above.
To ensure a thorough defrost, defrost must be
terminated by the temperature termination
setting — not by time.
The chart shown in the figure above describes
the opeation of GSVM-A models under ambient conditions that do not exceed 75°F and
Relative Humidity of 55%.
For the GSVM-A models, the controller
parameters defined from the factory has a
temperature differential of 19°F. Assuming
Set-Point is 21°F and the Differential is 19°F.
(Set-Point) 21°F + 19°F (Differential) = 40°F.
The compressor will cycle off 21°F and back
on at 40°F.

The condensate water outlet for self
contained models empties into a limited
capacity evaporation pan.
Debris or dirt accumulation inside the condensate
evaporation pan or on the heater coil will
reduce the pan’s evaporation capacity and
cause
premature heater failure. The evaporation
pan waste water will overflow and spill onto the
floor if the heater is not properly operating.
Remove accumulated debris from the evaporation
pan. Wipe down heater coil with a cloth and
warm water. Be sure to remove any dirt, debris
or liquids from the heater coil.

CLEANING COILS
Condenser coils should be cleaned at least
once per month. Additional cleaning may be
needed depending on the operational environment
. A dirty condenser blocks normal airflow
through the coils.
Airflow blockage increases energy consumption and reduces the merchandiser’s ability to
maintain operating temperature.
To clean the coils, use a vacuum cleaner with
a wand attachment and a soft (non-metallic)
brush to remove dirt and debris. Do not bend
coil fins. Always wear gloves and protective
eye wear when cleaning near sharp coil fins
and dust particles.
ICE in or on the coil indicates the refrigeration and defrost cycle is not operating properly. Contact an authorized service technician
to determine the cause of icing, and to make
adjustments as necessary. To maintain product
integrity, move all product to a cooler until
the unit has returned to normal operating
temperatures.
REMOVING SCRATCHES FROM
BUMPER
Most scratches and dings can be removed
using the following procedure.
1. Use steel wool to smooth out the surface
area of the bumper.
2. Clean area.
NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS AROUND
COILS. Use a soft brush or vacuum brush to clean debris from coils. Do not puncture coils!
Do not bend fins. Contact an authorized
service technician if a coil is punctured,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
3. Apply vinyl or car wax and polish surface
for a smooth glossy finish.
Should it ever be necessary to service or
replace the fan motors or blades be certain
that the fan blades are reinstalled correctly.
The blades must be installed with raised
embossing (part number on plastic blades)
