Excellent!!! You are sooooooo creative in your work. Most repairmen would just discard the units, saying they are not worth repairing. You take repairs to a NEW level! Thanks for your videos.
Nice work I've never seen any one weld aluminum pipe work before. Here in Australia it would be cheaper to throw fridges like that out and buy a new one then repair them. Love your channel
Brilliant Repair .... Don't know just WHY there was a Copper to Aluminium Joint Originally .... Of ALL the Metals, Copper and Aluminium must be the one of the Worst for 'Cathodic Action' / Electrolysis.... I have seen about 25mm Holes thru' an Aluminium Clading Sheet where Copper Nails were used .... Army Camp in Walvis Bay in 1970.... Naturally the Salt Mist every night did Not help either :-) :-) :-) Best to ALL from ChCh, NZ
Hi Johan! ..... Thank for taking the time to explain and share your knowledge with every one. I have a Beko CDA653FS Fridge Freezer, which has gone on the fritz, it's not cooling at all and I was hoping that you might be able to steer me in the correct direction. Using my multimeter, I have confirmed that the compressor and defrost timer switch is working correctly. I know that the thermal defrost heater hasn't worked for years. Ice build up got so bad at times that the freezer door would be pushed open. I can clearly hear liquid moving around at the back of the appliance, in the Heat exchanger and wandered to my self, if the Dryer needs replacing. I checked for leaks, using soapy water, but couldn't find any leaks. I wander if the Bimetal Thermostat could be bad? I need ice to be able to check for continuity with my multimeter, but I am in self quarantine and can't go out. South Korea is issuing $10 000 fines to offenders! .......... Bloody Covid 19!!! ........ Any ideas, suggestions, or solutions to my fridge freezer problem will be greatly appreciated?
I go through each component on the fridge and conduct tests. You would need a qualified technician to do these tests and find the fault with your fridge. I cannot explain how to conduct each test in a paragraph.
@@JDNelRefrigeration Dankie man! .... I have a pretty good understanding of how the components work. The fridge / freezer is about 15 years old and has given no problems up until, of late, the passed few months, when the freezer has been freezing over excessively. The defrost timer switch is working, but I'm not sure about the bimetal thermo switch. I am currently in self isolation (Covid19) and have got no way to cool it sufficiently, so as to be able to check if it is functioning or not. I am getting a reading on my multimeter, but have got no information to cross reference it with. Seeing as it is over 10 years old, I was wandering what the likelihood of there being a blockage in the capillary tube. Is there a way that I can check for this, with out having to puncture the system? Any thoughts you have that might help, will be appreciated.
@@seanashcroft9713 The Bi metal thermo switch which I call a defrost termination switch breaks continuity on the element when all the ice has defrosted. The way I test them is to remove it from the fridge, put it in a deep freeze for about an hour then test for continuity, and then heat it up with a hairdryer. Within 30 seconds within heating it up, it should break continuity. If the whole evaporator freezes evenly the whole way through you can safely assume that there is no blockage in the capillary.
You could've expanded the other piece of the pipe instead of using your expanding tool. Also could've expanded and welded the joint you did with the flare so you don't have a flare cause they could leak.
@@JDNelRefrigeration in that case, he should fully recalculate and change capillary tube, evaporator and condenser surface area, Cause totally different gases...
Copper to Aluminium should NOT have been used originally. Of ALL the Metals, Copper and Aluminium must be the one of the Worst for 'Cathodic Action'/ Electrolysis . That is Why it failed ..... You can 'Get Away with it' IF there is sufficient 'Gap' between the 2 Metals and you use a Special ' Glue/Adhesive/Sealant .... Well, that is my 5c Worth .... :-) :-) :-)
Hello I've got a inverter fridge freezer want to hook it up to our inverter to turn off when it gets to temperature can I do that with a inverter fridge freezer thank you
@@graemeboese1405 On most inverter compressor fridges only the compressor works through an inverter, the electronic module has a power supply and the heating element works with 220v AC and the fan motors & LED lights work off a low voltage transformer. If you want to run a fridge like that off an inverter you will have to supply the whole fridge with 220v AC through your inverter. If you have a different type of fridge please let me know then we can discuss how to do it.

There are lots of ways of doing it, I just explain how I do it.
👌👌👌
Great job sir. U r from which country
We are in South Africa
Which tip do you use to braise with?
If you mean welding rod Copper to copper Silbralloy and on steel Mattibraze 34.
Where can one learn refrigeration a repair in SA?
Search for acra refrigeration and air-conditioning academy
Capillary tube joint no effect on system?
Yes, no bad effect
Hi sir one question pls, can u put r134a compresor in a r600 refrighirator sistem ty
Yes
@@JDNelRefrigeration in that case, he should fully recalculate and change capillary tube, evaporator and condenser surface area, Cause totally different gases...
Sir uploaded Frost fridge chamber replace vedio
Please explain your question.
Good job, sir.
But, why didn't u use brazing instead of flaring/ nut technique?
Just one cupper pipe to the aluminum one!
thnx.
You can do it any way you like, the aim of the video was to show my swaging tool with the hole in the middle.

Hello I've got a inverter fridge freezer want to hook it up to our inverter to turn off when it gets to temperature can I do that with a inverter fridge freezer thank you
Yes you can.
So do I have to put a new thermostat in it to turn the inverter off

Here in the USA it would not be worth the price of the labor would just trash the thing
Here in South Africa we repair them.
@@JDNelRefrigeration that is good I teach HVAC and use your video's
Nice work.
