Changing the Power Cord location on Through-The-Wall Units

The power cord is factory wired on the condenser side of the system. If you require the cord on the wine cellar side for plugging into an available outlet, this can be accomplished by removing the 3-wire leads (ground included) and moving the cord to the opposite side control bracket and wire nutting the black, white and green wires to the factory supplied leads. The wires must have the terminations cut off and stripped first.

You must then move the red voltage switch in the opposite direction to move the internal power from the condenser side to the wine cellar side. See the steps below for relocating the power cord.

Relocating the power cord

  1. Remove Face Plates from both ends of unit by removing two screws at the top of each cover. Pull each cover down and away from unit.

  1. At the condenser end of the unit (warm air side) slide the power control switch to the opposite position to move power from the condenser end to the wine room end.
