HVAC Servo Motor Malfunction
Damper Servo Sub-assembly Replacement Procedure (continued)
Servo Location Guide (continued)

On the front air conditioning unit assembly, there are several damper servo sub-assemblies
equipped with multiple servos. If a servo requiring replacement is on a damper servo sub-assembly,
the entire damper servo sub-assembly MUST be replaced and NOT the servo itself. If the entire
damper servo sub-assembly is NOT replaced, the servo can NOT be reinstalled as the there is NO
ability to align the servo at the installation location. Stand-alone servos can be replaced individually.
