General
The evaporator defrost control (EDC) is installed in the evaporator (indoor) coil face area. Its purpose is to cycle the compressor when the evaporator frosts under low outdoor ambient cooling conditions. The EDC will open at 0° F and de-energize the compressor circuit. After an increase in coil temperature the EDC will reclose at 50° F and restart the compressor.
Installation (WHC4 Units)
WARNING: Open and lock unit disconnect. Failure to do so may result in severe injury or death from electrical shock, or contact with moving parts.

Parts List 1. Two (2) 8­32 x 1/4 hex head screws 2. E.D.C. control with two (2) yellow wires attached 3. Two (2) insulated wire connectors 4. Two (2) yellow wires 60 inches long

1. Remove top cover of unit. Retain all screws for re-installation.
2. Insert EDC capillary tube down into the indoor coil face area thru the rubber grommet provided with unit. Make sure the capillary tube end touches the condensate drain pan (see adjacent figure). Coil excess capillary tube above grommet and be sure to keep clear of EDC electrical terminals.
3. Mount the EDC with the two (2) screws provided in package.
4. Cut wire loop in half and strip insulation back 1/2 Inch from end on both wires.

Figure 1.

5. Connect EDC wires to wires stripped in step 4 with insulated wire connectors provided in adjacent image. Make sure connectors clamp both wires securely and that no loose wire strands protrude from connectors.
6. Replace top cover and attach with previously retained screws.
7. Close unit disconnect and set thermostat to desired temperature for operation.
