IV. Refrigeration Circuit and Component Service Information WARNING • This appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • Move the control switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before servicing. • CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the appliance is serviced.
2. Brazing WARNING • R-134a itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 212°F (100°C). • R-134a itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-134a can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous. • Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic. 1) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
6) A liquid charge is required when charging an R-134a system. Place the service cylinder on the scales; if the service cylinder is not equipped with a dip tube, invert the service cylinder, then place it on the scales. Open the high-side valve on the gauge manifold. 7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met. 8) Close the high-side valve on the gauge manifold, then close the refrigerant access valve (if applicable). Disconnect the gauge manifold hose.
