Deserved more views,very informative training specially to those who new in repairing a sealed type refrigerator. I always watching and waiting for new training.Great Instrucrtor.
Hello TMM. Thank you for another first class video! I have a request, show me how to braze together two pieces of cap tube! I can't find a method that's not sketchy. Can you help?
Thank you for your video. Do you know by any chance what length and size your cap tube is and what refrigerant? It looks as if someone cut it at the refrigerator that I am currently working on. What is the Part # please?
the capillary and suction line are called a heat exchanger, each one is different based on model and size, the capillary tube length is designed so the hnit will run at the desired pressures. it is possible to make one but not practical

In this video he's not attaching copper to aluminum. Look closely and you will see 2 copper stubs already attached to the aluminum coil. He then brazes copper to copper.
@@TMMApplianceRepair I just followed your link to Amazon and the product description states "For general purpose brazing of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys excluding aluminum."
love the videos is there a way that I could ask more questions and get more videos I am in Toronto Canada doing appliance repairs online school through you
I would consider installing a rubber/plastic grommet to protect the tubing from the sharp metal edging cutting into the tubing from the inevitable unit vibration. Where the tubing enters the unit. My .02
Is a good suggestion, but the rear metal is almost like aluminum foil not very stiff. and the permagum used to seal the air can act similar to the grommet you recommended.
Bossman, i notice when the technician was welding in the.freezer compartment ....why did the tech,not use the fire proof mat??? To avoid melting or burning the walls.. Also same tech use the.heat proofmat to welde the capillary.tube.below...
I was thinking... why not just pull the cap/suction line all the way through the freezer, set the coil on a high table and braze everything in front of the refrigerator instead of inside the freezer box? Push everything back into the freezer box and bend the suction/cap 90 degrees down as you would do anyway. Seems it would be much easier and safer.
Bending the capillary and suction line at the back of the refrigerator is the problem, since they are soldered together, the suction usually kinks. Or if youa re able to bend without kinkin the bend is very wide and wont allow tubing to be flush with the back wall and the covers over the line will not fit. This is why I use the 5/16" pre swedged elbow.
@@riz65 Hi Richard, love the channel and appreciate the hard work you put into it. It makes sense to use the elbow but I was wondering if you separated the cap and suction at the bend, bent 120 degrees, bent 30 degrees, ran the rest of the tubing down along the refrigerator backside would it be quicker, easier, and safer than bringing heat so close to the plastic in such cramped space? The 2 to 3 inches of space between refrigerator and wall needed for air circulation would account for the bend sticking out from the refrigerator wall. Just thinking of a way to avoid that melting plastic smell!!
@@Kevin-ib4gv First I think you mentioned to braze the line to the evaporator first, I tried that. It damaged the aluminum evaporator as I was trying to pass through the wall. The second time I attached suction line to evaporator then passed through the wall, you can not get tubing bender in place to make the 90 while attached to evaporator and have it come flush to the wall. Tryi an old refrigerator and trying making that bend you will see the curve does not allow the pipe to go flush to the wall. Good luck
@@riz65 hi Richard if anybody could get it to work you could! I might try it with an old refrigerator and see if there's any way to get that bend close to the refrigerator wall. If I come up with a good idea I'll let you know!
Its not a single kit, The evaporator and heat exchanger "Suction Line & Capillary tube" are 2 different part numbers in the parts break down for the unit.
I will check there is no service pointer I know of. I took pictures of the instructions they are not that good I will upload to the tmm drive tomorrow and post here qhen it's uploaded.

Very helpful video. Better then reading
What a fantastic lesson-- thank you for posting this!
What were the part numbers for the separated kits ? Great video, I appreciate it.
Man look at Rich still schooling. Nice 😎
Excellent installation
Great video brother
Great video!! I learned alot
Upper case G in the building
I am overjoyed to be learning from one of the best in the industry, soaking up all this knowledge before it's gone!
Great video. Thanks! 👍
What number tip were you using?
Thanks well explain class, learned a lot 👌
Great video once again
good video cant wait until august! see ya soon
Hello TMM. Thank you for another first class video! I have a request, show me how to braze together two pieces of cap tube! I can't find a method that's not sketchy. Can you help?
use another short piece of larger cap tube that slides over the existing one.
another great video. TY
Can the heat exchanger and capillary tube be replaced on a dual evaporator refrigerator? Do you have a videos showing it on a dual evaporator?

Outstanding
Very nice
27:15 - Couldn’t you just swage the outer pipe and dry fit it before pushing through the hole so that no insulation can get into the pipe?
Great video
Hi what type of brazing rod you use to braze cooper onto the aluminium?

@@Kevin-ib4gv brother that's the one that I use in the field.. lots of times no problem
No nitrogen when brazing?
Have you tried the sporlan catch all driers?
Yes, but once the capillary tube gets that clogged as stated in the video I recommend replacing compressor as well
love the videos is there a way that I could ask more questions and get more videos I am in Toronto Canada doing appliance repairs online school through you

How can find the copper include capillar tube?
Bossman, i notice when the technician was welding in the.freezer compartment ....why did the tech,not use the fire proof mat???
To avoid melting or burning the walls..
Also same tech use the.heat proofmat to welde the capillary.tube.below...
Wet rags are better and cheaper.

Nice job !! Where can find the evaporator kit ?
Its not a single kit, The evaporator and heat exchanger "Suction Line & Capillary tube" are 2 different part numbers in the parts break down for the unit.
What's the service pointer on the tech site for this procedure?
I will check there is no service pointer I know of. I took pictures of the instructions they are not that good I will upload to the tmm drive tomorrow and post here qhen it's uploaded.
A good idea is to add 50ml of sulphuric acid to the compressor before regassing to reduce corrosion
An ice pick or metal punch will puncture the inside wall and insulation easier. So will a HEATED 🪛.
32:36 - You could use some hot block there and not be concerned about burning the internal foam.
vhery. nice. video
Anyone use a full size torch on refrigerators?
Got my butt kicked on a linear compressor/evaporator job. Pressures in that system make no sense.
