Great video, you remind me of myself, no hiss piss about shit, Your a get the no nonsense, job done, done properly type of guy, End product may look rough, but would you like to buy a new fridge or have a little scar after surgery, unfortunately some people can not afford a new appliance, this isn't a cupcakes and unicorns sort of job, Once again great video, hope your still around. One question "What was the brand of rust protector were you using" thank you in advance, 😀
I wish you were near me, because Im being told to throw ny Beautiful $3600 refrigerator away, because No one wants to fix the slow internal leak, because of the foam incasing the tubes.
Frank Lowe I agree I have same problem with my fridge and they keep charging me for gas and Compresor and.....and ... This man knows his job Where can I get someone in jhb to do this
Nice work and trick for the joining the two different metals. It looks like you use the same flux for the aluminum and copper welds. Does the aluminum weld similar to the copper; it looks like the aluminum could be destroyed easy with the oxygen/acetylene torch setup from to much heat. Thanks for the video
I like so much your video am still learning more from you I don't have more experience , i like to ask something from you I have fixed the the fridge and is working just freezer but the fridge site is not cold?
Eks n Marine HVAC Engeneer hier in die kaap se hawe,werk nie juis aan die klein oukies nie. het een van n vriend hier by my huis met n internal leak,wil net weet van maklikke manier om al daai foam weg te kry om by die evap/evaps uit te kom. ek het acitone,petrol en selfs thinners probeer,maar nie die foam opgevreet nie,asb help?
I have a Defy D 380 which is leaking gas slowly. I now have a 1kg bottle of R134 permanently attached to the fridge and every 3 or so days have to give a burst of gas to keep the fridge cold. I have tested the external joints with a washing soap mix and they are OK so the leak must be somewhere internal. A friend of mine had a similar problem and ended up tearing out all the foam to find the piping. From this video I see you carved out foam in seemingly targeted areas suggesting you know where the pipes run. Is there a design format that Defy follow so that I can do as you have above and carve out particular areas to get to the piping? Many thanks
On that particular model I don't repair internal gas leaks, I write them off. I know of somebody who does. He removes all the foam from behind on the internal cold plate which is just steel tubes and replaces it with an aluminium cold plate and covers with foam again. We find it not to be cost effective.
Wens ek kon myne by jou uit kry, hier is dit net "interne lek, kry maar 'n nuwe" 😠
How much do they cost
great job uncle..ek wil net weet,hoe verwyder jy al daai foam?
I cut it away with a paint scraper
Excellent video. Technicians today are too lazy to fix fridges that have leaks. Now I need to find someone in Cape Town that can fix my leak.
Baie dankie vir die video's. Min mense wat nog trots in hul werk het.
Great job!!! You really have great skill and patience. Thanks for sharing.

Is this the same fridge you showed in another video on how to diagnose an internal leak?
Keep up the good work!
No, they are all different fridges.

There are very few people that tackle such repairs.
Thank you so much. In my town nobody does work in the foam part.Frank South Africa.

No I use 2 very different fluxes. Aluminum has its own special flux

I would need lots of information on the fridge, photos, description of what has been done, why. You can email me at jdnelrefrigeration@gmail.com
