Dear, I went to see this refrigerator and the client told me that it was working normally, was absent two days and when I arrived it was all at room temperature in both refrigerator and freezer and the refrigerator running. Then I disconnect it and my name is Check what I could because thinking that it was a sensor failure do not carry a handheld or amperometric clamp. Check what I could and what caught my attention when starting it up is that the start-up correctly (even to rule out another type of live start-up failure of the compressor) did not raise any part of the refrigeration circuit, the condenser and filter remained at the room temperature, including the motor compressor and when stopping it, support the ear in the cabinet and it could be heard just like liquid noise (as if some gas had circulated) I will go to check it again with a pinch wrench and amperometric clamp, I suspect that there may be 3 reasons, lack of gas (due to circuit puncture), capped capillary or capped filter. As I have not had much experience in this type of failure, I would like someone to guide me in what I should look for or with what pressure and current values to guide me to make a correct diagnosis. Of course, thanks to who can guide me

Hello people, I brought the refrigerator to check it well. I put a pressure gauge and I saw that there was a shortage of gas (20 psi), when I started it with an amperometric clamp placed it went empty and threw me 1 amp of consumption that in my opinion was little, but well it was with little gas. The condenser and the ball were at room temperature, another indication of lack of gas. Stop everything and let the sisytema balance and with 20 psi look for losses in welds and in the freezer's evaporator connections, get no results.
I saw that the refrigerator's refrigerant charge was 100 gr so before s

Did you stay halfway in your comment?

Hello Everything indicates that there is a lack of refrigerant due to leakage in the circuit. The noise you heard when you stopped could be oil in the circuit. Now when you put the pinch valve and the pressure gauge, it will give you the results. Greetings and luck

You already comment when you have results. Luck

Well, there is no more to put the manometers to see if it is possible leakage or partial plugging or the compressor is already lacking performance, but I am inclined to clog the system, since you say it was working well.

Hello people, I brought the refrigerator to check it well. Place a pressure gauge and I saw that it was low on gas (20 psi), when it was started with an amperometric clamp placed it went empty and threw me 1 amp of consumption that in my opinion was little, but hey it was with little refrigerant. The condenser and the ball were at room temperature, another indication of lack of gas. Stop everything and let the sisstema balance and with 20 psi look for losses in welds and in the rush of the freezer evaporator, get no results. I saw that the refrigerant charge of the refrigerator was 100 gr so before separating the refrigeration circuit in two and pressurizing with nitrogen I saw that the gas charge was 100 gr, so I decided to charge and see if it worked (to rule out any capillary filling). When putting a little of refrigerant began to heat the condenser and the motor compressor, in the freezer began to frost the evaporator. Everything indicated that the system is fine but with a gas leak where a fence to know. Already with everything stopped and about 55 psi I started looking for losses again, I made sure to enter the evaporator since once I had a puncture problem in that sector. Almost demoralized, it occurred to me to flood the collecting tray of meltwater that has a kind of coil that is made with a spiral of iron pipe at the outlet of the compressor discharge before entering the condenser and when I started to move it since I had waste I see it starts to bubble .... Hallelujah I found the loss !!!!! Now that I leave it well explained for someone to take advantage of it, I wanted to ask another colleague with more experience if that spiral can be done in copper, since if the one who has it is with a puncture, I can fix it, but maybe this is all deteriorated and can be punctured again. A 1/4 spiral copper spout withstands the compressor output pressure well? I would appreciate someone to answer me

Of course, if it works for you, 1/4 copper tube and it remains eternal, I think the one that has is iron, greetings

Hello people, I have another problem in the same refrigerator when it is launched. Load gas and leave it in positive pressure of about 7 psi wait for the evolution, after a while I see that it was at -18 ° C in freezer but had frost return in the aspiration, vent the R 134a until leaving 1 psi measured low, it was improving temp until -26 ° C but continued to have frost return. I was venting until I reached -1psi the same tem (-26) but frost about 2cm from the compressor. I don't like to work in a vacuum, is that correct? When stopping the system it remains equalized with pressure of about 9 psi. It's okay?
