Step-by-step plan

Always first:

  • Unplug the plug.
  • Tip: when dismantling the old part, regularly take photos so you can easily see how to reassemble the new part.

1. Remove the housing

Loosen the screws at the back. Pull the casing backwards and then lift it to remove it.

2. Discharge the capacitor

Before you start the repair, it is important to discharge the capacitor first. This is because it may still be under high voltage. To do this, use a piece of insulated tool and carefully connect the two voltage connections of the capacitor with it.

3. Remove the old suppression filter

First disconnect all cables. It is useful to take a picture beforehand, so you know how to reconnect the cables. Then take out the old suppression filter.

4. Fit the new interference suppression filter

Put the new suppression filter in place of the old one. Reconnect the cables to the correct connection points.

5. Place the housing back

Put the housing back in place and tighten the screws securely.
