NOTE: Functional parts are common to each model configuration, meaning the models 601R/F, 601R/O and 601R/S will utilize common functional parts, just as the models 601F/F, 601F/O and 601F/S will utilize common functional parts, and so on... For this reason, the back­ward slash and letter at the end of the alpha-numeric model number will be used in this manual only when necessary.
Listed below are the twenty model numbers with a brief description of that model.
MODEL DESCRIPTIONS
This section briefly describes the models covered in this 600 Series Service Manual. Though there are twenty models, there are only seven basic model configura­tions (Models 601R, 601F, 611, 632, 642, 650, 690). The reason for twenty different model numbers is the three esthetic variations to the exterior components. The letter after the backward slash in the alpha-numeric model number indicates the exterior cosmetic variation. (“/F” indicates a Framed
look with the door trim visible, “/O” indicates that it is intended for the unit’s door pan­els to Overlay
the door trim, and “/S” indicates that the
unit is Stainless Steel.)

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This section covers common installation issues seen by Service Technicians. Improper installation, though not a valid service issue, has the potential to lead to a call for service. Installation related complaints could include, but are not limited to: Unit leveling, unit movement, door misalignment, improper door and drawer sealing, internal frost or condensation, exterior condensation, warm compartment temperatures, etc.
NOTE: If additional installation information is needed, refer to the complete Installation Manual, or contact Sub-Zero Service Department.
Unit Leveling (All Models)
NOTE: Unit must be installed before leveling (See WARNING above). If unit is anchored to cabinets, remove anchor screws before leveling, reinstalled after.
To level a unit, first remove kickplate (See Figure 2-1). Then, to raise unit front, turn front leveler legs counter­clockwise, clockwise to lower (See Figure 2-2). At front of unit base is an adjusting screw that reaches to rear leveler/roller assembly. To raise unit rear, use 5/16” socket wrench to turn adjusting screw clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower (See Figure 2-2).
NOTE: Level is best checked at top & side mainframe.
Door Adjustment (All Models)
NOTE: Unit must be level before adjusting doors.
If unit is properly installed, blocked and leveled, it may still be necessary to adjust door(s) left to right and/or in and out. Adjustments are performed at top and/or bot­tom door hinge(s). Two small Phillips head shipping screws in each door hinge must be removed and dis­carded before attempting adjustments. Then, working on only one hinge at a time, loosen and re-snug door hinge mounting screws, allowing door adjustment (See Figure 2-3). After adjusting door, tighten door hinge mounting screws and check for proper door seal.
NOTE: If one door on a side-by-side unit sits higher than the other, bottom hinge spacer (part #0183100) is available. To install spacer, remove shipping screws from bottom door hinge, then loosen hinge mounting screws. Insert spacer(s) between bottom door hinge and bottom door trim. Adjust door accordingly and retighten door hinge screws. (See Figure 2-4.)
Figure 2-2. Unit Leveling
UNIT COULD TIP UNDER CERTAIN LOAD CONDI­TIONS. FAILURE TO INSTALL ANTI-TIP COMPO­NENTS AND EXTEND LEVELERS TO FLOOR ACCORDING TO INSTALLATION MANUAL COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL TERMINOLOGY & COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
All 600 Series units utilize an electronic control system. The electronic control system monitors, regulates and con­trols a variety of functions, as well as displaying temperatures and possible problems with the unit. In this section, some basic electronic control system terminology is defined, and electronic control components described. An understanding of the following information is needed in order to comprehend the electronic control system.
TERM / COMPONENT DEFINITION / DESCRIPTION
Control Board The electronic board which contains the microprocessor, relays, electrical connec-
tions and LCD. The electrical hub of the electronic control system.
NOTE: See "Control Board Summary / Layout" in following section.
Microprocessor An electrical component on the control board which receives electrical signals from
other components in the electronic control system, processes that information, and then sends an electrical signal to the relays instructing them to open or close, and other electronic components to switch on or off.
Relay The electrical components on the control board which, when closed, allow power to
the appropriate components.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) That part of the control board seen at the control panel which displays compartment
temperatures, service indicators, etc...
Control Panel The information input and read-out area of the electronic control system. The LCD
is visible through a window on the control panel.
Membrane Switch That part of the upper control panel where all input functions are performed.
Keys Buttons on the Membrane switch used for input functions.
Indicators The words that are displayed on the LCD.
Set-Point The desired compartment temperature. This is the approximate average of the high
offset and the low offset.
High Offset The maximum compartment air temperature the electronic control system will allow.
When the high offset is reached, power is supplied to the compressor to run.
Low Offset The minimum compartment air temperature the electronic control system will allow.
When the Low Offset is reached, power to the compressor is interrupted.
Offset Temperature Range The difference between the low offset and the high offset.
Thermistor A resistor with which resistance changes as the temperature around it changes. For
electronic control system purposes, the microprocessor deciphers this resistance signal as temperature.

When in OFF mode, 115 Volts are still present at the control board.
Basic Input Operations
This section illustrates the basic input operations performed at the control panel. Switching the unit on & off, tem­perature adjustment, and switching the icemaker system on & off will be explained.
POWER ON/OFF
All 600 Series units arrive in Off Mode, and “OFF” is visible on the LCD. By pressing the UNIT ON/OFF key at this time (See Figure 3-4.), “OFF” disappears from the LCD as power is allowed past the control board to the rest of the unit, and the compartment temperatures are displayed.
NOTE: Whenever the last stroke of the UNIT ON/OFF key is off, “OFF” will be visible on the LCD.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT (ADJUSTING SET-POINT)
To adjust the compartment temperature, press the WARMER or COLDER keys on the control panel in multiple key strokes until the desired set-point is achieved. One key stroke equals a 1° F change. (See Figure 3-5.)
NOTE: Freezer temperature range is -5° F to +5° F, with an initial Set Point of 0° F; Refrigerator temperature range is 34° F to 45° F, with an initial Set Point of 38° F.
NOTE: Set-point will be displayed for 10 seconds after the last WARMER or COLDER key stroke, then the compart­ment temperature will appear. As the compartment temperature changes, the temperature displayed on the LCD will change, by no more than 1° F per minute.
Icemaker System ON/OFF
All 600 Series units arrive with the icemaker system of
f. By pressing the ICE ON/OFF key at this time, power is
allowed to the icemaker system, and “ICE” is displayed on the LCD. (See Figure 3-6.)

UNIQUE INPUT OPERATIONS
This section illustrates electronic control input operations not associated with typical unit function.
Show Room Mode
Showroom Mode was incorporated into the electronic control system so these appliances could be displayed in a showroom setting. With power to the unit, initiate showroom mode by pressing the UNIT ON/OFF key so that “OFF” is appears on the LCD. With “OFF” displayed, press and hold the WARMER, COLDER keys, then the UNIT ON/OFF key (See Figure 3-7). This disables all but the lighting system. To return to normal operating condition, repeat the above steps.
NOTE: Always recheck set-points after returning unit to normal operating condition.
Figure 3-7. Show Room Mode - Press UNIT ON/OFF Key.
Then, Press and Hold WARMER, COLDER Keys, then Press the UNIT ON/OFF Key.
Sabbath Mode
Sabbath Mode was incorporated into the electronic control sysyem for the observence of certain religeous days. Sabbath Mode disables the lights and icemaker switches. With the unit on, initiate Sabbath Mode by pressing the UNIT ON/OFF key so that OFF is displayed on the LCD. Then press and hold the UNIT ON/OFF key for 10 sec­onds (See Figure 3-8). To return unit to normal operating condition, press and release the UNIT ON/OFF key.

Control Condenser Fan Operation (Models 611, 632, 642, 650, 690)
NOTE: Power to the condenser fan on models 601R and 601F is supplied direct from the compressor.
The microprocessor senses the 115 volt output supplied to both compressors. If either compressor is running, a sig­nal is sent to the condenser fan relay on the control board to close, supplying power to the condenser fan. If both compressors are off, the condenser fan is off. (See Figure 3-10)
NOTE: The condenser fan will run 100% if the VACUUM CONDENSER indicator is activated, This will be discussed in MONITORS COMPRESSOR RUN DURATION.

Figure 3-12. Compressor Power Signal Trace
Figure 3-11. Temperature Display
Monitor, Display and Regulate Temperatures
The temperature signal from the thermistor in the refrigerator and/or freezer compartment is monitored by the micro­processor, and displayed on the LCD. Though the compartment air temperature does fluctuate, the LCD displays the average temperature. (See Figure 3-11) When the compartment temperature reaches high offset, the signal is sent to the compressor relay on the control board to close. This allows power to be supplied to the compressor and evaporator fan, which cycle on. (See Figure 3-12) As the compressor and evaporator fan run, the compartment tem­perature drops. When the compartment temperature reaches low offset, the signal is sent to the compressor relay on the control board to open. This interrupts power to the compressor and evaporator fan, cycling them off.
NOTE: If the compartment temperature should ever exceed either the high offset or low offset (for example: when a door is left open), the temperature displayed on the LCD will change by one degree per minute.

Figure 3-13. Refrigerator Compressor OFF
Figure 3-14. Defrost Heater Signal Trace
Monitor and Control Rerigerator Off-cycle Defrost
Temperature signals from the refrigerator compartment thermistor and evaporator thermistor are monitored by the microprocessor. If the compartment temperature reaches high offset before the evaporator rises to 38°F, the command to start the compressor will wait, allowing the evaporator to fully defrost before the compressor is energized. (See Figure 3-13)
Monitor and Control Freezer “Adaptive Defrost”
Initially the freezer compressor in a 600 Series unit will cycle-run for 12 hours, after which the microprocessor sends the signal to the defrost relay on the control board to close. This supplies power to the defrost heater, and the compressor is switched off. (See Figure 3-14) With the “Adaptive Defrost” technique, the length of time that the heater actually stays on to defrost the evaporator and satisfy the defrost terminator is observed by the microprocessor. The microproces­sor then determines the number of hours before the next defrost. If the heater stays on for a shorter time than specified, the microprocessor increases the next defrost interval. If the heater stays on longer than spec­ified, the electronic control decreases the next defrost interval. This is an ongoing process whereby the defrost time and the defrost interval will vary by unit use.
NOTE: A five (5) minute delay/dwell follows all defrosts.
NOTE: Minimum defrost interval = six (6) hours;
Maximum defrost duration = twenty-five (25) minutes.
Initiating Freezer Manual Defrost
To manually initiate freezer evaporator defrost, press and hold the ICE key at the control panel for ten sec­onds. (See Figure 3-15).
NOTE: To observe the initiation of manual defrost, “ICE” must be displayed on the LCD. Then press and hold the ICE key for ten seconds. At first, “ICE” will dis­appear. After ten seconds of holding the ICE key, “ICE” will appear again, indicating manual defrost has begun.

Monitor Icemaker System and Display If Service Is Needed.
The microprocessor monitors the voltage supplied to the icemaker water valve (See Figure 3-16). If the water valve is energized for more than fifteen (15) seconds, power to the icemaker system is interupted, and a signal is sent to the SERVICE and ICE indicators on the LCD to flash (See Figure 3-17).
NOTE: To allow ice to freeze fully and reduce effects of low water pressure, the electronic control system disables the icemaker system for 45 minutes after each ice harvest.

Monitor Compressor Run Duration, Displays If Service, or Condenser Cleaning Is Needed
The microprocessor senses the 115 volt output supplied to both compressors, monitoring the length of compressor run time (See Figure 3-18).
If several excessive compressor run periods occur, the microprocessor closes the condenser fan relay on the control board, allowing the condenser fan to run 100%. A signal is then sent to the VACUUM CONDENSER indicator on the LCD to flash (See Figure 3-19).
NOTE: Please keep in mind that a flashing VACUUM CONDENSER indicator is caused by excessive compressor run, which could be related to problems other than a dirty condenser. This will be covered in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.
NOTE: After correcting the cause of the error, the unit must be switched OFF, and back ON to clear the error indica­tor.

Figure 3-37. Evaporator Temp, Compartment Air Temp. and Sealed System Pressure vs. Temp. set-point
During Normal Cycle of Operation
Using Temperatures To Troubleshoot Sealed System
To give the 600 Series a true “Sealed System”, the compressor process stub is soldered shut at the factory after the sealed system is charged. Troubleshooting the sealed system is possible without a process valve because of the 600 Series Electronic Control System. Since the evaporator temperature, compartment air temperature and sealed system pressure fluctuate harmoniously around the set-point during normal cycle of operation, troubleshooting the sealed system is accomplished by observing the evaporator temperature reading in Diagnostic Mode.
Following is a chart illustrating how evaporator temperature and compartment air temperature fluctuate harmoniously around the set-point during normal cycle of operation. Using temperatures to diagnose sealed system problems will be detailed in the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.

HFC-134a REFRIGERANT SERVICE INFORMATION
The 600 Series sealed systems contain HFC-134a refrigerant. This section provides general rules for working with 134a, and explains procedures to be followed while servicing the sealed system. This is followed by diagrams which illustrate sealed system operation, then model-specific refrigerant flow diagrams.
134a refrigerant requires Synthetic Ester oil in the compressor, and does not tolerate contamination from other refrigerants, moisture, petroleum-based lubricants, silicone lubricants, cleaning compounds, rust inhibitors, leak detection dyes, or any other type of additive.
General Rules for Working with 134a Refrigerant
Use equipment dedicated to 134a sealed system service only.
Use only 134a refrigerant for back-flushing and sweep charging.
Always replace the filter-drier when servicing the sealed system.
The filter-drier must be cut from the sealed system. Never un-braze the drier as the heat will drive moisture back into the sealed system.
Do not leave sealed system nor replacement compressor open to the atmosphere for more than 10 minutes.
When the rubber plugs are pulled from the service compressor, a release of pressure should be heard. If no release of pressure is heard, do not use the compressor.
Use ONLY virgin 134a refrigerant when recharging the sealed system.

SEALED SYSTEM OPERATION
The following six diagrams illustrate a basic sealed sys­tem. The components are listed in order of refrigerant flow, with an explanation of their fundamental role as part of a sealed system. NOTE: These illustrations do not
represent any specific 600 Series sealed system.
Compressor (Figure 4-1)
The compressor creates a high side and low side pres­sure difference in the sealed system by compressing the refrigerant gas, thus raising the pressure and tempera­ture. The compressor pushes this high-pressure/high­heat gas through the door gasket seat heater loop to pre­vent sweating (on most units the gas also travels through drain pan heater tubing to help evaporate water in the drain pan). The high-pressure/high-heat gas then travels to the condenser.
Condenser (Figure 4-2)
The high-pressure/high-heat gas travels through the con­denser, where the heat is dissipated by cooler air being drawn over the condenser tubing by the condenser fan. This changes the gas into a high-pressure/warm liquid that then enters the high-side filter-drier.
High-Side Filter-Drier (Figure 4-3)
The high-pressure/warm liquid travels through the high­side filter-drier, which removes moisture from the refriger­ant before it enters the capillary tube.

Capillary Tube (Part of Heat Exchanger) (Figure 4-4)
The high-pressure/warm liquid refrigerant travels through the long skinny capillary tube which is attached to the suction line. (These two tubes soldered together create the heat exchanger.) As the high-pressure/warm liquid refrigerant travels through the capillary tube it gives up heat to the cool refrigerant gas traveling through the suc­tion line and the pressure drops, so it is a low­pressure/cool liquid before it enters the evaporator.
Evaporator (Figure 4-5)
As the low-pressure/cool liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator, it vaporizes. This is caused by a dramatic pressure change which occurs when the refrigerant enters the larger diameter evaporator tubing from the smaller diameter capillary tubing. This vapor travels through the evaporator absorbing heat from the compart­ment, gradually converting it to a cool gas. This cool gas then enters the suction line.
Suction Line (& Heat Exchanger) (Figure 4-6)
The cool gas travels through the suction line which is attached to the capillary tube. (As mentioned earlier, these two tubes soldered together create the heat exchanger.) As this cool refrigerant gas travels through the suction line it absorbs heat from the warm liquid refrigerant traveling through the capillary tube, making it a luke warm gas. The lukewarm refrigerant gas returns to the compressor where the process begins again.

ICEMAKER SYSTEM INFORMATION
All 600 series units utilize a MidSouth icemaker. An Icemaker’s operation is not complex, but understanding its components and its operation cycle is necessary for a Service Technician to understand in order to make a proper diagnosis.
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, ALWAYS DISCON­NECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO UNIT WHEN SER­VICING ICEMAKER.
NOTE: The ICE ON/OFF key at the control panel acti­vates the icemaker system. If “ICE” is not displayed on the LCD, the icemaker system will not function.
NOTE: To allow ice to freeze fully and reduce effects of low water pressure, the electronic control disables the icemaker system for 45 minutes after each ice harvest.
NOTE: The ice bucket in models 601F, 611 and 650, have a tab at the left rear corner that activates a switch when the ice bucket is in place. The ice bucket in the models 680 and 690 also activates a switch when in place. If the ice bucket is not in proper position on any model, ice production will stop.
NOTE: The icemaker relay on the control board also controls the fill tube heater and water valve.
ICEMAKER COMPONENTS
Following are descriptions that explain the function of each icemaker component. The components are dia­gramed in Figure 6-1 on the next page.
Support - The support is the housing around the elec­trical components and wire connections. The support is attached to the ice mold.
Mounting Plate - The drive motor, holding switch, water valve solenoid switch, timing gear, timing cam and water fill adjusting screw are attached to the metal mounting plate. The mounting plate is then attached to the support.
Drive Motor - 115 volts AC supplied to the drive motor causes the motor to operate. The motor has a single output shaft with a small gear. The motor gear drives/spins the timing gear.
Timing Gear - The timing gear is driven/spun by the drive motor gear and is attached to the timing cam.
Timing Cam - The timing cam is attached to the tim­ing gear and the ice ejector is inserted into the center of the timing cam. As the timing cam rotates, high and low spots on the cam operate the water valve solenoid switch and the holding switch. The timing cam also moves the lever arm side to side and rotates the ice ejector.
Ice Mold - The ice mold is where the eight crescent shaped ice cubes are formed.
Mold Heater - The mold heater uses 175 watts to thaw the ice free from the mold.
Ice Ejector - The drive end of the ice ejector is “D” shaped to fit into the “D” shaped hole in the timing cam. It has eight blades which rotate and sweep the ice from the mold cavities during the ejection phase of the cycle.
Ice Stripper - The stripper is attached to the dumping side of the mold, serving as a decorative side cover and it also prevents ice from falling back into the mold.
Bearing / Inlet - The bearing / inlet is attached to the ice mold, opposite the support. Water enters the bear­ing / inlet and is directed to the ice mold. The bearing/inlet also supports the ice ejector at the end opposite the timing cam.
Thermostat - The thermostat is a single-pole, single­throw, bi-metal switch. At 15°F/± 3°F it closes, starting the ice ejection phase.
Thermal-Mastic - A substance similar in appearance to grease that is applied between the thermostat and the ice mold. Its purpose is to increase thermal con­ductivity between the mold and the thermostat.
Lever Arm and Shut-off Arm - The lever arm is moved side to side by two revolutions of the timing cam. As it moves, it raises and lowers the shut-off arm and operates the shut-off switch to control the quantity of ice production. If the shut-off arm comes to rest on top of the ice in the storage bin during either revolution, the shut-off switch will remain open, stopping ice pro­duction at the end of that revolution.
Water Valve Solenoid Switch - A single-pole, double­throw type switch that allows electricity to the water valve solenoid, opening the valve, during the fill cycle.
Holding Switch - A single-pole, double-throw type switch that assures completion of a revolution once the icemaker has been energized.
Shut-off Switch - A single-pole, double-throw type switch that stops ice production when the ice bin is full.
TCO (Thermal Cut Out) - The TCO is thermal protec­tion device in the wire harness that would open in the event of mechanical failure, thus protecting against over heating. (The TCO is not shown in diagram.)

• The water valve solenoid switch is tripped by the timing cam back to “normally open” ending the water fill.
• The timing cam trips the holding switch to “normally close,” which ends the second revolution.
• The thermostat is still open, so it does not start the drive motor.
• If the shut-off arm has come to rest on top of the ice in the storage bin (as illustrated), the shut-off switch remains in the “normally closed” position. This interrupts power from reaching the thermostat, until sufficient ice has been removed from the stor­age bin allowing the shut-off arm to lower.
NOTE: To allow ice to freeze fully and reduce effects of low water pressure, the electronic control system dis­ables the icemaker system for 45 minutes after each ice harvest.
Figure 6-12. Stopping Icemaker
MANUALLY STOPPING ICE PRODUCTION
Ice production can be manually stopped four ways:
1. Press the ICE ON/OFF key on the control panel so that “ICE” is not displayed on the LCD.
2. In model 632 and 642, trip the icemaker switch above the ice bucket to the OFF position.
3. In models 601F, 611, 650, 680 and 690, remove the ice bucket so that the icemaker switch at the back of the freezer is not being depressed. Also, make sure no food product is coming in contact with the icemaker switch.
4. In models 611, 650, 680 and 690, lift the ice level arm up to lock it in the OFF position (See Figure 6-
12).

MANUALLY STARTING THE ICEMAKER
NOTE: To allow ice to freeze fully and reduce effects of low water pressure, the electronic control disables the icemaker system for 45 minutes after each ice harvest. To bypass this 45 minute dwell for service purposes, press the the ICE ON/OFF key or the UNIT ON/OFF key at the control panel.
Manual Start Procedure
1. Pry the icemaker front cover from the support using a flat-blade screwdriver or coin.
2. With a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the drive gear counterclockwise until the holding switch is activat­ed, completing the circuit to the drive motor (this will be about a 1/8 turn). (See Figure 6-13) The icemaker will then complete its cycle automatically.
NOTE: If after 1/4 turn the icemaker is not running on its own, it may be in the 45 minute dwell period or there is an electrical or mechanical problem.
ADJUSTING ICEMAKER WATER FILL LEVEL
Proper water fill level for a MidSouth icemaker is 100 ­110 cc’s (3.5 - 3.75 oz). If the fill level is checked and needs to be adjusted, turn the water fill adjusting screw clockwise to reduce fill level, or counterclockwise to increase fill level. One full turn of the screw equals 15 cc’s. (See Figure 6-14)
NOTE: Always check fill level before making any adjustments of the water fill adjusting screw.

COMPONENT ACCESS AND REMOVAL
This section explains how to adjust, access and remove components. If different models have similar procedures, they are grouped together under the appropriate heading. The models covered in the procedures are listed between brackets after the heading.
This section is arranged as follows:
.............................................................................................................. Page:
• Primary Parts .................................................................................................................................................... 7-3
• Refrigerator Interior Cosmetic / Mechanical ...................................................................................................... 7-10
• Freezer Interior Cosmetic / Mechanical / Electrical ............................................................................................ 7-15
• Lower Compressor Area / Mechanical / Electrical .............................................................................................. 7-32
• Upper Compressor Area / Mechanical / Electrical .............................................................................................. 7-33
• Water Valve ........................................................................................................................................................ 7-35
• Sealed System .................................................................................................................................................. 7-36
An attempt has been made to arrange these procedures in such a way as to simulate which components would need to be removed first in order to gain access to other components. When following a component removal proce­dure, it may be necessary to reference another component removal procedure earlier in this section.
NOTE: Before continuing, please take note of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS below.
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE A UNIT FROM ITS INSTALLATION, REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT
COULD TIP FORWARD WHEN PULLED FORWARD BEYOND THE ANTI-TIP COMPONENTS, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. PULLING A UNIT FROM ITS INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY BE PER­FORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN OR INSTALLER.
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, POWER TO THE UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED WHENEVER ACCESS-
ING AND/OR REMOVING COMPONENTS POWERED BY ELECTRICITY OR COMPONENTS NEAR OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. IF THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN, BUT HAS NOT BEEN SWITCHED ON BY PRESSING THE UNIT ON/OFF KEY, 115 VOLTS AC IS STILL PRESENT AT THE CONTROL BOARD.
IF REMOVING A DOOR OR DRAWER FROM A UNIT, REMEMBER THAT DOORS AND DRAWERS ARE
HEAVY. IF THEY WERE TO FALL, THEY COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If removing or disconnecting door closer assemblies, remember they are spring loaded and could recoil quickly when released.
If working in the compressor area, remember that compressor and tubing may be hot.
If working on or around an evaporator or condenser, remember that evaporator and condenser fins are
sharp.

PRIMARY PARTS
This section explains how to remove and adjust the pri­mary 600 Series parts (upper light diffuser, door shelves, cabinet shelves, etc.). In most cases, removal of these parts is necessary in order to gain access to the more functional components during a service call. When possible, units with similar primary part removal procedures are grouped together under the appropriate heading. The units covered will be listed between brackets after the heading.
Upper Light Diffuser (All models)
The side frames of the light diffuser have four inverted “T” shaped slots (two each side) which slide up over pegs protruding from the side walls. For safety purpos­es, retaining clips by the rear slots secure the light dif­fuser to the rear studs. (See Figure 7-1)
To remove the light diffuser, slide a finger over the top of the retaining clips and rotate down. With the clips open, lift diffuser up and slide it towards the rear of the unit until the center of the “T” slots line up with the pegs. Then lower the light diffuser and remove from unit. (See Figure 7-2)
Light Bulb (All Models)
The light diffuser will need to be removed to access the light bulbs. Screw bulb counter clockwise to remove, clockwise to install.
Door Shelf & Dairy Compartment Assemblies (All Models)
Removal and adjustment of door shelves and dairy compartment assemblies is achieved by sliding the grooves in the end caps over the molded retaining ribs of the door liner. Lift up and out to remove, push in and down to install. (See Figure 7-3)

The manner in which this section was written assumes that the PRIMARY PART REMOVAL and MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL COMPONENT REMOVAL sections have been studied and understood. If necessary, refer to these sections in this manual before attempting to remove sealed system components.
When possible, units with similar component removal procedures were grouped together under the appropri­ate heading. The units covered will be listed between brackets after the heading.
NOTE: 600 Series units are produced without process valves on the compressor and filter-driers. Solder-on process valves must be installed in order to service the sealed system. Sub-Zero does not authorize the use of bolt-on saddle valves.
Filter-Drier (Models 601R, 601F)
NOTE: Compressor and tubing may be hot and could cause minor personal injury.
NOTE: To access the filter-drier it is recommended, but not necessary, to remove the top section of the unit grille assembly after removing the bottom section.
The filter-drier is attached to the condenser outlet. (See Figure 7-67) To remove a filter-drier, first remove the lower sections of the unit grille. Then, after capturing the refrigerant from the sealed system, use a file to score a line around the capillary tube approximately one inch from the filter-drier outlet. Fatigue the capillary tube at this line until it separates. Then, with a tube cutter, cut the filter-drier inlet tube.
NOTE: Check the end of the remaining capillary tube for internal burrs. If burrs exist or tubing has been pinched closed while fatiguing, re-score capillary tube approximately one inch from the end. Then, fatigue the capillary tube at this new line until it separates, and recheck.
NOTE: When installing the replacement filter-drier, insert capillary tube until it touches the screen. Then, pull capillary tube out away from the screen approxi­mately 3/8" before brazing.
NOTE: The filter-drier outlet must be facing downward in order to function properly (See Figure 7-67).

Compressor (Models 601R, 601F)
NOTE: When replacing compressor, the filter-drier must also be replaced.
NOTE: Compressor and tubing may be hot and could cause minor personal injury.
The compressor is secured to the unit tray by bolts into grommets. To remove the compressor, the upper and lower section of the unit grille along with the compres­sor baffle must be removed first. Then, after capturing the refrigerant from the sealed system, remove the compressor electrical cover and disconnect the electri­cals from the compressor. Now, remove the bolts from the grommets at each corner of the compressor base, and pull compressor forward and rotate to the right to gain access to the suction and discharge lines. Using a tube cutter, cut the suction and discharge lines approximately one inch from the compressor, then pull compressor out. (See Figure 7-68)
Drain Pan Condensate Heater Loop (Model 601R)
NOTE: When replacing the condensate heater loop, the filter-drier must also be replaced.
NOTE: It is recommended that a suction line drier be added to the sealed system when replacing the con­densate heater loop.
On the model 601R, the drain pan condensate heater loop is located in the compressor area, and sits in the drain pan. To remove condensate heater loop, the upper and lower section of the unit grille along with the compressor baffle must be removed first. Then, after capturing the refrigerant from the sealed system, remove the bolts from the grommets at each corner of the compressor base and pull compressor forward and rotate to the right. Un-braze or cut the condensate loop inlet and outlet, and pull condensate loop out. (See Figure 7-68)

HOW TO USE THE GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The General Troubleshooting Guide Table of Contents (above) indicates how the Trouble Shooting Guide is arranged. Match the description of the problem the unit is experiencing with those in the table. To the left of the problem description is a letter. Locate that letter in the left column of the Troubleshooting Guide. Information in the center column identifies possible causes, while information in the right column explains the tests/Actions to perform.
NOTE: For Problems “A” through “K,” “S” and “V”:
1. Begin troubleshooting by observing the compartment set points.
2. If the set-points are normal, initiate Diagnostic Mode by pressing and holding either
COLDER key, then press
the UNIT ON/OFF key, then release both keys. (See Thermistor Location Code Tables below.)
3. Record the compartment and evaporator temperatures.
NOTE: Verify that the compressor is operating before observing evaporator temperatures. If the problem is in the refrigerator section, the refrigerator door must be left open for 5 minutes with the compressor running.
4. After observing the evaporator temperatures as instructed above, take note of the “Pointers” in the first column
of the troubleshooting guide under problems “A” through “D”. The “Pointers” list what possible causes to check based on the evaporator temperatures observed.
