This bulletin addresses the issue of the evaporator, evaporator drain pan & drain hose and/or evaporator fan icing in Monogram Bar refrigerators caused by permagum used around the drain hose (foamed-in), insufficient defrost heat and/or excessive moisture.

WARNINGTo prevent electrical shock, disconnect power supply to the refrigerator before performing these steps. Do not operate the refrigerator until installation is completed.

Important: Iced-Over units must be allowed to com-pletely defrost before attempting to service them. Failure to do this can cause permanent damage to the evaporator system. Alert consumers who have iced-over units to turn the unit Off and let the unit defrost for several days prior to the service call.

Indicators of Evaporator/Drain Pan/Drain Hose/Evaporator Fan Icing Pooling water present in FF section on glass shelves

(water dripping from evaporator compartment) FF actual temperatures are too warm or are not

being maintained Visible ice behind the ice bucket on the rear wall

(look at vents and air ducting) Stalled evaporator fan or visible ice arresting fan Fan noise (blade impacting ice) Damper cycling noise (plastic snapping noise

when in defrost)

To prevent further icing, install new drain hose elec-tric heater and replace the evaporator wall assembly using service kit WR49X10157. This kit supercedes service kit WR49X10122. Note: If the unit has a previously installed metal heat probe, WR2X9393, and the above indicators are pres-ent, remove the heat probe and follow all service kit instructions. The service kit WR49X10157 contains: Drain Tube Electric Heater Heater Splitter harness with thermal fuse,

WR23X10517 Aluminum Tape, WD49X27 Permagum WR97X81 Tie Wrap, plastic Fan cover isolation, WR02X11956 (foam tube), extra

in case damaged Evap Wall / Fan Cover Assembly, (includes

evaporator wall, fan cover, fan assembly with heater, damper with heater)

Plug connector Installation instructions

Follow the service kit instructions completely and install all parts.

Additional and important informationUnits made under serial number GL to LL were manu-factured without the foamed-in permagum and with the metal heat probe, WR2X9393, installed. Therefore, it is very unlikely you will encounter a frozen drain pan/hose. If you do encounter a frozen evaporator fan, follow the kit installation instructions related to the evaporator wall assembly replacement, starting with steps 1-2 and 6-18. Discard old evaporator wall assembly.
