So you said you were looking for 120 to 130 F on the high side. I understand if may have been off because of the cap line. What did it end up being? Also, what were the final operating pressures? I imagine 0ish on the low side. But what about the high? Last I saw was 112 which seems low. I'm trying to learn how to adjust for a system that may just be a little low on refrigerant.
Hello! Can I still use this mini fridge? It had a refrigerant leak and it was filled with R134A but the compressor is for R600a. The R134a leaked out and the leak has been repaired. Can I refill with R600 and use it? The compressor still turns on but got heated with the R134a exposure. Thank you, Elsy
Yes it’s recommended you change the capillary tube I didn’t because the way the freezer was I didn’t have access but on a refrigerator it is recommended
You don’t check your high side pressures when charging? And you could un braze the tubing instead of cutting off Have done over 1000 compressors that way
The altech gauges im not happy with them cause i was struggling to see the reading .dnt they sell or have the ones with illumination so that wen you working at night thanx
Salvage them from rotten fridges and freezers… test them then flush and fill with nitrogen, crimp the ports and braze them shut for storage. Just don’t use excessivly old compressors or ones that look overheated or very rusty.
Not necessary on this junk. It'll last longer than the refrigerator. You're lucky to get 2 years without a repair. If you vacuum from both sides it's not that big of a deal. Only on large systems. Besides you're not brazing a filter dryer with nitrogen flowing it'll blow out the joint.
Going through all that trouble. Replacing Why didn't you just recharge? Same compressor with 134 l Have a R22 AC system. And as we all know now at this time, R22 Is astronomical In price Because In 2020 it was phased out. So I Recovered and Filter changed Then recharged my system with R134a same compressor And all components. Works fine, no issues. But have lost some on the efficiency level.
I have converted systems from R22 with 438A with very good success. I worked for an offshore drilling company that is very environmentally friendly. We had about 60 units on our rig. We had everything from 3 ton mini splits and 15-30 ton semi-hermtics to a few 60 ton units, many systems charged with well over 100 lbs of refrigerant. I am talking thousands of pounds of refrigerant. I never had an issue with the R438A refrigerants. We replaced our service valves as well as the mineral oil. POE is not required for 438A. The operating pressures and temperatures are very close to the same and efficiency is very similar.
а для чего этот цирк с компрессорами на 134а.система и капилярка расчитана на р600 на 1.76 оз компрессор на р600 работает в вакуме и греется до 65 с градусов.а так как сделали вы компрессор будет грется до 90 градусов.это не есть хорошо.и в качестве сбережения энергии 150 ватт и 100ватт на р600.капилярка на р 600.0.7мм на 134 0.81мм.работать будет но на компрессор нагрузка!!!

Did that before but shortened the cap tube to get lowere pressures… high pressures will make the r134 compressor cook itself.
How much did you trim off cap tube?
@@ssard8257 depends with the size but around 30-40cm
So to replace a bad r660a compressor with a 134a compressor. Doyou have to change anything else besides the dryer?
Yes it’s recommended you change the capillary tube I didn’t because the way the freezer was I didn’t have access but on a refrigerator it is recommended
Please help.. I replace r600a with r134a compressor... And freezer not cooling and compressor is working fine

I believe they do. But I like the fact that you can connect to a phone or tablet and it makes it easier to read.
Can you just, instead of replacing it, pull a vacuum, blow it with nitrogen and solder or press fit it, make service ports and refill with 134a?
Yes but in this case the compressor is bad.
I did this but compressor short cycle could it be left over mineral oil mixing with synthetic?
When you change from R600a to R134a do you need to change the relay ?
What relay?
No. Everything stays the same
@@tronixfix run start relay
@@appliancerepair420 didn't know it's also being called a "relay"... always called it a "compressor starter".
Where are you located? I have an RV refrigerator (same compressor) that failed.
I am in Orange County in californiana
@@appliancerepair420 Enjoyed your video. Do you ever renovate older refrigerators that use r134? Maybe give them a spruce up and refurbish?
134 copresser liter pls tell me
Is this still working, any issues?
how much did the compressor cost, I had a customer who had R600 with a bad compressor?
I paid about 120 my cost. At the supply store. Good luck with your repair.
@@appliancerepair420 в россии 40 долларов компрессор джаксипера
Not hardly worth the $120 plus labor to fix…… I paid like $165 for a new Magic Chef freezer about the same size from Home Depot

@@tronixfix that’s the way to go. People throw away refrigerators for different reasons. I just happened to have one. Sitting around.
Very good thanks
Thanks for watching glad you liked it.
Nice info thanks
Glad it helped.
Noticed he did not use nitrogen when he brazed. Setting the repair up for failure.
Was done like that for decades, i’m also skipping it on small repairs. Big systems need it.

You didn't show the brazing part wich is the most important process, disappointed.
Sorry. The video was long. But stay tuned I’ll up load a video next week. Showing the braze. I have another r600 freezer. That I can record
Pre sand for what after you cut u still need to sand and debur the line 😂
Just the way I do it.
What is your contact information? I'm in Orange County too. Need some help with a freezer.

Contaminated
Damn that looked de minimis
134a is much safer and provides more efficient cooling

Yes you can do so if you add water to the compressor before regassing
Not cool man people look to videos for help. Someone might believe and do this and ruin the compressor and waste a lot of money
don't use this drier's use 1/4 flair drier's it's better than this ok.
This can't work
