To get more details on brazing requirements, please go to Annex B1 


Note 


Step 4

Install quick connector onto rebrazed pipe. 

Step 5

Inject nitrogen of 1.57Mpa through quick connector into pipe. 

Step 6

Test brazed joints in compressor niche for leaks with soapy water

DIAGNOSIS 1


PROCEDURE 1

 


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 Annex B1

Note

CHECK AND TEST 2

Step 1
Inject 1.57Mpa nitrogen through quick connector into pipe and apply soapy water to test for leaks again.


Step 2

Check gas leakage with soapy water again at all brazed joints in compressor niche. 

DIAGNOSIS 2


PROCEDURE 2 

Step 1

Remove all freezer drawers. 

Step 2

Remove all freezer shelves. 

Step 3

Remove screw covers (total of two) on upper freezer air duct with Slotted Screw Driver. 

Step 4

CHECK AND TEST 3 

DIAGNOSIS 3

CHECK AND TEST 4 

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 4

PROCEDURE 3 

Tip 1:

When restoring the upper freezer air duct, fasten the wires to avoid crushing them with air duct. 

Tip 2:

All buckles should be pushed into proper final position. If not, please repeat installation. 

PROCEDURE 4 

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 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 compressor processing pipe 

Step 8

Vacuum and recharge.
