1.3 Servicing

Always disconnect power to any appliance before attempting to service it. Always verify
that the power has been disconnected.
If the unit has been running, use caution around the compressor, condenser and copper
tubing. These areas may be very hot.
Use caution around the condenser wires and metal edges. These areas could be sharp.
Refrigerant is under high pressure. Always evacuate any system before attempting to
open it.
Reasonable care and safe work methods should be practiced when working on any
appliance.
Never work with energized electrical equipment in wet or damp areas.
Use an appropriate work area and location when performing repairs. Under counter
appliances are much easier to repair if they are set on a raised platform or workbench.
Protective safety glasses are recommended.
Any refrigerant, whether CFC, HCFC, or HFC (R-12, R-22, or R-134a), must be recovered.
Federal regulations prohibit the intentional venting or release of refrigerants during the service repair or disposal of an appliance.

1.4 Basic Refrigeration Tools

The following list contains some of the tools required for basic refrigeration repairs:
1. Hoses with R-134a couplers (must meet standards for handling R-134a refrigerant)
2. Approved and certified recovery system for R-134a
3. Manifold gauge set or a short length of charging hose for R-134a
4. 25 pound charging cylinder with R-134a

1.5 Basic Installation

Units can be installed freestanding* or built-in. The front of the unit must be
unobstructed for proper air circulation and operation at all times.
NOTE: * Professional and overlay door models cannot be installed free standing. Units
with the Articulating Hinge must be installed as built-in due to safety restraints.
Area should be ventilated and without exposure to extreme temperatures. Unit must be installed indoors and away from the elements of nature. These units do
not have certification from any agency for outdoor installation.
Any exceptions, alterations, or modifications to the appliance as manufactured will void
the warranty.
These units must be installed on a flat, level surface capable of supporting the loaded
weight of the appliance.
WARNING HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Failure to disconnect the supply voltage to the appliance prior to servicing could result in an electrical shock or possible death.

1.6 Electrical Requirements

115 / 120 VAC, 60 hertz, single phase power is required. Use an outlet with a 15 amp delayed action fuse or circuit breaker. DO NOT PUT A FUSE
ON THE NEUTRAL OR GROUND SIDE OF THE CIRCUIT.
A properly grounded outlet is required for this appliance. It is recommended that a single circuit receptacle be used for this appliance. Multiple
appliances on the same electrical circuit are not recommended.
DO NOT use an extension cord or multi-purpose surge protector device.

Section 2: Sealed System

2.1 Introduction

The following should always be practiced with any sealed system that has been opened. Only open the sealed system after proper diagnosis has verified a system issue. Eliminate any possible non system related problems such as wiring, control system, airflow, etc. before attempting a sealed system repair. Many times these possibilities can resemble sealed system problems. Checking the evaporator frost pattern is a great way to determine if a possible charge related problem is evident.
1. Use a leak detection system that will detect R-134a refrigerant. Check both the high and
low sides slowly for minuscule leaks.
2. The drier must be replaced anytime the sealed system is opened. Always use an
unopened and approved drier. Failure to do so may cause repeated system failure in the future.
3. Limit time the system is opened. DO NOT EXPOSE THE OPEN SYSTEM FOR MORE THAN
15 MINUTES. This could result in a sealed system failure. Leave replacement parts sealed and unexposed to the surrounding atmosphere until they are ready to install.
4. Replacing the compressor for a low side leak is not always mandatory. If the system has
not been purged dry of refrigerant and oil as a result of a low side leak, the sealed system should not be compromised. However, if the system has been purged completely of refrigerant, a compressor replacement should be completed. Moisture has been drawn into the system if the unit has been running dry for an extended period of time. Be sure to flush the system with dry nitrogen gas and evacuate to 50 microns before re-charging.
5. A new evaporator assembly must be ordered if the capillary tube is found to be plugged
or severely restricted. Restrictions cannot be flushed out.
6. Be sure to purge the system after final brazing. This will flush out any air or moisture
that may have entered the system before being absorbed into the ester oil.
7. A sealed system that has been contaminated by moisture is a very costly repair for the
customer. If the appliance is still under warranty, it would be best to contact the manufacture for recommendations for either a sealed system replacement or appliance replacement.

2.2 Low Side Leaks

Low side leaks consist of a break in the system at the evaporator, suction line, or compressor. If a leak is found in any of these areas, there is a possibility that moisture has been introduced into the sealed system. The compressor and drier will have to be replaced and the system will need to be flushed thoroughly with nitrogen gas and evacuated to 50 microns before re­charging.
5

2.3 High Side Leaks

High side leaks consist of a break in the system at the compressor, condenser, discharge tubing, drier, or capillary tube. If a leak is found at any of these areas, replace or repair the leak. Flush the system with nitrogen gas, evacuated to 50 microns, and recharged.

2.4 Restricted Capillary Tube

Moisture or other contaminants that enter the system can cause non condensable deposits in the system. These deposits will usually collect in the capillary tube and form a restriction that cannot be removed by flushing. If moisture is found in the system, the entire system has been compromised due to the unstable relationship between ester oil and moisture.
For non-moisture related restrictions: If the capillary tube is restricted, typically the restriction is at the inlet end, inserted into the drier. This can be repaired by cutting off approximately 1” of capillary tube, inserting the cut end into a new drier, and re-soldering the joint. If the leak is elsewhere in the capillary tube, it would be best to replace the evaporator / heat exchanger assembly, pull a satisfactory vacuum and recharge.

2.5 Access/Process Valves

A temporary access valve can be used to service or evaluate the system. From these temporary access valves, you can recover, evacuate, and re-charge the system. The access valve will be installed on the compressor’s process tube (low pressure side). Be sure to cap off the access valve if you have not completed servicing. This will prevent contamination of the system and temporarily prevent refrigerant from leaking. After servicing is complete, the temporary valve must be removed from the sealed system. A pinch-off tool can be used to close off the process tube downstream from the valve piercing. Once this is done, the temporary valve can be removed and the pierced section of the process tube cut off. The open end of the process tube can now be soldered/brazed shut to seal the system. Be sure to leak check after brazing. If a permanent soldered/brazed Schrader valve is used, the cap must be snugged firmly after service is completed.

2.6 Evaporator Frost Pattern

In the past Marvel has always recommended not using a gauge set to determine system capacity and pressures. The amount of refrigerant in these systems is so minute, that any amount of charge lost during gauge installation or removal can be detrimental to the refrigeration system. It was determined that checking the frost pattern on the evaporator was always a good indicator for reference. The following procedure was recommended to check a typical cold plate evaporator:
6
“Checking the evaporator frost pattern is a good way to quickly diagnose simple sealed system problems. This can be done by allowing the unit to run (at least 10 minutes) with the door open for at least 5 minutes. This will help speed up the normal frosting of the evaporator plate. By visually inspecting the evaporator and feeling it with your hands, you will see and feel as the frost pattern builds across the plate. The frost pattern should cover a majority of the evaporator plate. This will ensure the system has been charged correctly and does not have a leak, partial restriction, or is undercharged. A
partial frost pattern may lead to excessive run times, reduced performance and efficiency.”
With the design of the new enhanced cabinet and low side design, checking the evaporator plate in the above description has become somewhat complicated. As an alternative to the above method, we offer two varying methods.
1) The first method is similar to the above. However, with the compressor running, the
interior evaporator cover must be removed, the evaporator fan disconnected, and the door left open for observation for 10 minutes. The evaporator plate should show a slight full frost pattern similar to the photo below with a typical factory refrigerant charge as stamped on the manufacturer’s serial plate.
2) The second method which is somewhat unproven at this time is to measure the
temperature of the filter drier. A rule of thumb is that the drier temperature should be approximately 90° F at a 70° F ambient temperature.
AGA Marvel does not recommend taking system pressures and does not have a
reference table to use for diagnosing or charging.

THIS IS A CRITICALLY CHARGED APPLIANCE
Charging by a weight system is recommended.
There are a couple of ways to measure temperature of the evaporator plate:
1. Use a thermocouple to measure the temperature of the evaporator plate. The
thermocouple must be secured to the evaporator when taking the measurement.
2. If it has been determined that there is proper contact between the sensor and
evaporator plate, the sensor resistance value can be interpolated to be the approximate evaporator temperature.

2.8 Re-charging

CAUTION
Re-charging of the unit should be done only after diagnosing and repairing the system. Be sure to flush the system with dry nitrogen gas and evacuate to 50 microns before re-charging.
8
Vacuum Pump Tips:
1) Remember to change vacuum pump oil after evacuating a
contaminated system.
2) Frequent oil changes will increase the pumps potential to
achieve the best vacuum possible.
3) Use recommended oil per recommendation of vacuum pump
manufacturer.
Charge the unit to the specified amount (See unit specifications or serial plate for charge specifications per model).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listed below are two variations to correctly charge the sealed system
Method 1- DIAL-A-CHARGE Method 2- Weigh in Liquid on High Side
DIAL-A-CHARGE Method
Using a length of manifold hose, connect one end to the manifold, the other end to the weighted charging cylinder. Adjust cylinder to weigh in the correct amount of refrigerant into system based on nameplate charge. It is best to use low loss fittings on hoses to avoid loss of charge when removing hoses. Purge air from cylinder hose to manifold by loosening cylinder hose at manifold and bleeding liquid through hose to manifold. Open manifold and charge unit. Run unit for at least 10 minutes to confirm that the unit has a full frost pattern on the evaporator and that the unit is not overcharged and there is no liquid returning back to the compressor. It is normal to have some condensation or slight frost on the suction line. Typically this will occur towards the end of a run cycle. If the frost continues down the suction line to the compressor, the system is overcharged. Once the system is charged, clamp off the process tube downstream from the access valve. Remove the valve, cut off the extra process tube with the piercing, fill the open end of the process tube with solder. Remove the clamp from the process tube and leak check.
9
Weigh in Liquid on High Side Method
NOTE: When using this method an access valve should have been attached to the compressor process tube (low side) and the high side process tube on the drier.
Using a length of manifold hose, connect one end to the manifold, the other end to the refrigerant cylinder. It is best to use low loss fittings on hoses to avoid loss of charge when removing hoses. Purge air from cylinder hose to manifold by loosening cylinder hose at manifold and bleeding liquid through hose to manifold. Set refrigerant cylinder on scale and turn scale on allowing it to stabilize and then zero scale. Open manifold high side port and carefully charge unit to nameplate weight of charge by watching scale. Once the appropriate charge is weighed in, allow pressures to equalize. Run unit for at least 10 minutes to confirm that the unit has a full frost pattern on the evaporator and that the unit is not overcharged and there is no liquid returning back to the compressor. It is normal to have some condensation or slight frost on the suction line. Typically this will occur towards the end of a run cycle. If the frost continues down the suction line to the compressor, the system is overcharged. Once the system is charged, clamp off the process tube downstream from the access valve. Remove the valve, cut off the extra process tube with the piercing, fill the open end of the process tube with solder. Remove the clamp from the process tube and leak check.
If you are using a soldered access fitting be sure to remove high side hose after the system has equalized and before starting unit to check frost pattern. Cap access fittings tightly and leak check system with unit off so that pressures are equalized throughout the system.

INCORRECT WIRE POSITION.
Grommet after toe grill
is removed.
communication cable is routed through the correct area in the toe grill.
The below left hand photo shows the correct routing of the communication
cable, it must pass freely with clearance on all sides.
The below right hand photo shows the incorrect routing of the communication
cable. It is very easy for the cable to end up in this position if care is not taken when reinstalling the toe grill. This is a critical pinch spot and will create a service call in the future with either a frayed or cut cable.
NOTE: Always ensure that the plastic cable grommet is installed
correctly.
13

3.2: Warnings and Cautions

WARNING
Prior to removing the access cover to the machine compartment, disconnect the supply voltage to the appliance; failure to do this could result in an electrical shock or possible death.
CAUTION
All electrical parts and wiring must be shielded from torch flame. DO NOT allow torch to touch insulation; the insulation will char at 200°F and flash ignite (burn) at 500°F. Excessive heat will distort the plastic liner.

3.3 Accessing the Mechanical Compartment

Access to the mechanical compartment is located at the rear of the unit. Most mechanical and electrical components on the unit mount directly to the slide out base. To gain access to the mechanical section proceed as follows, be sure to reference the photos as called out.
1. For access to the machine compartment remove the screws securing the
compartment panel at the rear of the cabinet.
2. For additional service needs it may be necessary to slide the machine compartment
assembly out. Proceed with the following steps.
3. Back out the two Phillips screws (1 on each side) on the toe grill.
4. Once the toe grill is removed, it will be necessary to remove all four screws (two on
each side) to loosen the mechanical assembly from the front.
5. At the rear bottom corner of the unit two (1 on each side) 5/16” hex head screws can
be removed.
6. The mechanical section can now be slid out no more than 2 - 4” maximum until the
suction line has been unsoldered from the compressor*.
WARNING: The refrigeration system must be evacuated prior to unsoldering
the compressor or any other system related component.
7. CAUTION: To avoid kinking the suction line assembly - do not slide the mechanical
base outward past the 4” maximum recommended above.
14
Remove both top
and bottom screws
on each side.
Remove all perimeter 5/16”screws
that secure the back panel – DO
NOT remove the 5/16” hex screws
in the bottom left and right hand
side corners, or the Philips head
ground screws.
Remove both Phillips
screws and grill.
15
Remove both screws.
Maximum distance to
remove bottom of
machine
compartment: 2 - 4”
2 - 4”
16

3.4: Compressor

The following tests should be conducted before concluding the compressor is faulty.
1. Low and high side pressure, temperature of compressor, discharge and suction lines,
temperature of air leaving the evaporator compartment, temperature of condenser coil, condenser fan operation, and amp draw at compressor.
2. Use a compressor start cord to isolate and test the compressor.
3. Use an ohmmeter to measure resistance / continuity at the compressor to check for
shorted or grounded windings.
a. Resistance between the “Common” and “Run” terminals: this will be the lowest
ohm reading obtained.
b. Resistance between the “Common” and the “Start” terminals: this will be the
mid-range ohm reading obtained.
c. Resistance between the “Start” and “Run” terminals: this will be the highest ohm
reading obtained (This should equal the combined total of the previous two readings).
d. No resistance between any two terminals signifies an open winding. e. Check continuity between compressor terminals and the compressor itself
(Scrape off a little paint on compressor to make sure that resistance can be measured). If continuity is obtained, the compressor is grounded and needs to be replaced.
3.4.1: Check Compressor Winding Resistance:
17

3.4.2: Remove the Compressor

1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Follow the exact steps outlined in “Sealed System Components” to access the
compressor.
3. Using the process tubes, install sealed system access valves and recover refrigerant.
4. Remove the TSD2 starter package from the compressor terminals.
5. Unsolder and remove the discharge and suction lines from the compressor.
6. Unsolder and remove the filter / drier.
7. Cap all refrigeration lines: It is advisable that all exposed refrigeration lines be capped
if the system will be exposed to the atmosphere for any length of time.
8. Remove the three 7/16” nuts, washers and grounding screw from compressor
mounting bolts. There is no nut and washer at the back, left hand mounting position.
9. Lift the compressor off the mounting bolts.

3.4.3: Install a New Compressor

1. Do not remove the rubber plugs from the compressor tubes at this time.
2. Install the four (4) rubber grommets onto the compressor base.
3. Install the three sleeves where the carriage bolts are located.

13. Push the mechanical base assembly back into place.
14. Secure base assembly to cabinet at rear and front locations.
15. Replace the front grill and back panel.

3.5: Condenser

The condenser is of tube and wire construction. It is draw through; forced air technology used for heat transfer. The front grill facilitates both intake and exhaust air. A fiber board air baffle is located between the front grill and the rear machine compartment access panel. This baffle separates the air intake (left hand side) and exhaust (right hand side) across the condenser.
18
A common problem with this system is restricted air flow caused by lint, dust, dirt, and pet hair.
Disconnect recommended
connectors.
These particles become built up on the condenser and results in overheating due to the lack of sub-cooling across the coil.
NOTE: Another important factor is that the free air space on the toe grill
cannot be altered to meet a certain design criteria. Any modifications could jeopardize the integrity of the appliance performance.

3.5.1: Remove the Condenser

1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Follow the exact steps outlined in “Sealed System Components”.
3. Install sealed system access valves and recover refrigerant.
4. Except for the “Data” and the “Communication” cable, all small connections must be
disconnected from the main power board. These two cables will stay with the mechanical base and removed from the cabinet assembly. In addition the two larger connectors DO NOT have to be disconnected from the board.
5. Unsolder and remove the filter / drier.
6. Unsolder and remove the discharge and liquid lines from the condenser.
7. Using a 3/8” nut driver or socket, remove (1) 3/8” nut securing each condenser
mounting bracket to the mechanical base.
8. The condenser assembly can now be removed from the base assembly.
9. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the condenser brackets from each side of the
condenser. The brackets will slide out once the screws are removed.
10. It is advisable that the un-soldered copper tubes be capped if the system will be
exposed to the atmosphere for any length of time.
19
Slide out the bottom of the machine
compartment far enough to unsolder
condenser lines.
Condenser can be lifted away from bottom
assembly after following step 7 above.
NOTE: On machine compartments with LEFT HAND SWING doors, a shield is added to prevent the communication cable from being drawn into the condenser coil. It is anchored using the same nut which secures the condenser mounting bracket.
The above bracket is used on LEFT HAND
SWING doors to anchor the back end of the
communication cable.

3.5.2: Install a New Condenser

1. If necessary, reattach the mounting brackets to each side of the condenser with the
Phillips screws and washers previously removed.
2. Ensure that the carriage bolts for mounting the condenser brackets are in place on
the bottom of the machine compartment.
3. Install the new condenser with brackets over the mounting studs and secure with the
nuts previously removed.
4. Install and solder the discharge and liquid lines to condenser.
5. Install and solder a new filter drier in the system.
6. Evacuate, charge to serial plate recommendation, and leak check the sealed system.
20
7. Carefully reconnect all electrical terminals back on the terminal board.
8. Carefully push slide-in mechanical base plate assembly back under cabinet.
9. Secure base assembly to cabinet at rear and front locations.
10. Secure base assembly and toe grill.

3.6: Evaporator

The evaporator removes heat from the inside of the unit ultimately making the interior of the appliance cold. The evaporator plate is flat in appearance (cold plate) and is installed behind the coil cover. It is normal for the evaporator to frost up during its run cycle. This frost will dissipate once the unit reaches its “cut out” temperature and the compressor and fan stop. This condensate water will drop off the evaporator plate and down into the tapered sump area formed in the cabinet. The condensate will then drain down into the compressor condensate pan where it will evaporate. It is very important that the evaporator frosts in a uniform pattern across the plate. A partial frost pattern can lead to excessive run times and cooling issues. Supply air is drawn across the evaporator plate from the evaporator fan and into the cabinet interior through the supply louvers located at the bottom of the coil cover.
NOTE: Refer to Section 19 for a Service Bulletin regarding the removal of the Evaporator / Heat Exchanger Assembly.

3.6.1: Remove the Evaporator

CAUTION Sharp burrs can result in cuts.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Use steps in Section 8 for access to evaporator compartment.
3. Follow the exact steps outlined in “Sealed System Components”.
4. Install sealed system access valves and recover refrigerant.
NOTE: The evaporator heat exchanger is foamed in place in the back
cabinet wall.
If an evaporator replacement is necessary, the heat exchanger will have to be cut at the point it enters the foamed cabinet (behind evaporator plate). The suction line will also have to be cut at the point where it enters the foamed cabinet from the machine compartment.
5. Remove the white foam evaporator spacers. Save as they will be used for the new
evaporator assembly.
6. Remove the evaporator and discard, caution of sharp edges from the cut tubing.
7. Unsolder suction line from compressor and discard, again use caution of sharp edges
surrounding cut heat exchanger.
21
8. Remove liquid and capillary lines from filter drier.
Cut away suction line at the above locations.
Drill a ½” hole downward into machine
compartment. See recommendations in step 9
above.
Extend new assembly through the hole. Make
sure ends are capped.
Install vibration isolator on heat exchanger
assembly behind evaporator.
Cut the suction tube extension to connect the
compressor to the suction line.
9. Drill a ½” hole in the left hand corner of the drain sump as close to the side wall as
possible. The hole must extend into the machine compartment.
10. Remove any sharp burrs on the roof of the machine compartment created by the
drill bit.
22

3.6.2: Install a New Evaporator

NOTE: A replacement evaporator assembly (42249079) will include the
following components:
(1) Evaporator heat exchanger assembly (1) Filter drier (1) Pre bent suction tube extension (1) Vibration Isolator (2) Nylon zip tie fasteners (2) Pieces of permagum
1. Take the replacement evaporator and unroll the capillary tube on the heat exchanger.
2. Absolutely make sure that the ends of the capillary tube and suction line are well
capped. Wrap both ends with tape to insure that no foam enter the tubing when
passing it through the ½” drilled hole. Any foam that is allowed in the tubing will
compromise the sealed system.
3. Once the new evaporator is in place, the extended suction line into the machine
compartment will have to be bent (thumbs and forefingers) at an angle towards the compressor.
4. Carefully recoil the capillary tube.
5. Install a new filter drier and solder the capillary and liquid line in place.
6. The kit will include a section of pre-bent suction line. The bent side will be soldered into
the compressor.
7. Use a 3/8”swedging tool to expand the opposite end of the suction extension to fit over
the new suction line extending into the machine compartment. This connection can now be soldered.
8. Evacuate, charge to serial plate recommendation, and leak check the sealed system.
9. The kit also includes a rubber vibration isolator, place this onto the heat exchanger
behind the evaporator to protect against tube rattles between the evaporator and cabinet liner.
10. Replace the defrost thermistor and attach with the two zip lock fasteners in the kit.
11. Place one piece of permagum around the new evaporator opening in the interior of the
cabinet. Make sure that it is worked into and around the hole to seal off any moisture or heat.
12. Use the second piece of permagum and also work that into and around the hole in the
machine compartment where the new heat exchanger exits the liner.
13. Re-install the white foam spacers. The spacers have an off center cut on one side, place
the fat side of the spacer (the thickest foam slot) towards the back wall of the liner.
14. Reassemble the coil cover and interior components in reverse order as removed.
15. Reinstall the machine compartment back in place and secure in place at the front and
rear of the cabinet.
23
