DIAGNOSIS 2


PROCEDURE 2


Step 1

Remove all freezer drawers. 

Step 2

Remove all glass shelves. 

Step 3

Unscrew the screws on air duct.

a. Check the freezer air duct to find the three screw covers.

b. Remove the screw covers (total of three) on the air duct with slotted screw driver. 

c. Unscrew the screws (total three) with Cross-head screw driver. 

Step 4

DIAGNOSIS 3


PROCEDURE 3


Step 1

Clean paint off of brazed joint. 

Step 2

Cut off brazed joint with leakage. 

Step 3

Use a bigger copper tube to connect 2 ends of brazed joint. 

Step 4

Braze the 2 ends. Please get more details of brazing requirements on page 682 

Note

CHECK AND TEST 4

Step 1

DIAGNOSIS 4


CHECK AND TEST 5

Step 1

Braze a piezometer onto processing tube of compressor. 

Step 2

Charge nitrogen of 1.57Mpa through quick connector into pipe. 

Step 3

Perform leakage test on brazing points and piezometer to make sure all connection points are in good condition. 

DIAGNOSIS 5


PROCEDURE 4


Tip 1

Make sure the sealing sponges are in good condition. 

Tip 2

When reinstalling the air duct, fasten the wires to avoid crushing with air duct. 

Tip 3

Install the top side first when installing the air duct. 

Tip 4

After pushing air duct into place, you should hear a clicking sound. If not, repeat again.

Tip 5

Check to see if there is
a wide gap between air duct and cabinet. If there is, reinstall air duct. 

 

PROCEDURE 5


Step 1

Clean paint off of brazed joint of drying filter. 

Step 2

Cut off the brazed joint of drying filter. 

Step 3

Cut off capillary and remove the cut end by shaking. 

Step 4

Braze on a new drying-filter.

Step 5

Inject nitrogen (1.57Mpa) through quick connector into pipe for at least 3 min to blow remaining refrigerant away. 

Step 6

Add quick connector onto processing pipe of drying-filter. 

Step 7

Do leakage test on brazed joints of drying-filter and processing pipe on compressor. 

Step 8

Vacuum and recharge.
