Replacing a temp control valve on a true GDM 26 commercial refridgerator
Hi,
I have a True Model GDM 26, and I need to replace the temperature control valve. The plate with the control knob is on the upper right had side, and it looks like it has only two bolts and two screws. on the plate it says remove plate on evaporator top side. I don't know what this means. Can't I just remove the plate with the control knob and replace it, or is there another plate on the top somewhere that has to be removed? i would appreciate an answer to this question.
Thanks,
Rocco

Unplug the unit & remove the plate holding the thermostat. The capillary for the thermostat will go into a very small tube that runs into the evaporator coil. You will probably not be able to see the tube but will have to feel for it and get a good orientation for where it is located before you pull the capillary out. Try to measure the amount of capillary in the tube as you pull it out so you know how far you have to push the new one in and put some kind of tape or mark on the new capillary before you try to push it in. you might have to soap up the capillary to get it to slide easier.
