I admire your dedication to not throw away a perfectly good fridge for the sake of a small component on a pc board. My pc board is damaged. Do you know anyone who repairs?
@JDNelRefrigeration Hi JD. I managed to get my fridge, freezer working by bypassing the power supply part of the pc board and just putting a 220 -15 transformer to power the electronics etc. I could not believe it myself but everything works, even the ice maker and water dispenser.
Nice a new video Korean appliances look to have so many problems and parts cost so much... And yeah I doesn't like fridge with 2 compressors imagine if both broke in the same time mean you are in trouble...
I live in the US. I never knew that 2:20 was used in residential refrigeration. I'll bet your electricity is cheaper over there than ours is? Being that it is 220
Thank you again for the information you are sharing with the world. I need to know something about the refrigerators who do not have condenser coil at the back. Where do they locate the condenser of these refrigerator like I have a Hisense and Samsung both without the coil outside.
Hisense have the condenser inside the refrigerator just behind the outer skin. Samsung does the same but some have a small condensor at the bottom next to the compressor with a fan.
Hi Sir. Where can I order condensers for the fridges like Hisense? I normally use secondhand condensers for these fridges but most of the time their coils are contaminated or blocked so you need to clean them first.Do you know of any local manufacturers in Joburg where I can order them? Thanks for mentoring us on this channel, we're learning a lot from your videos.
I have a question I live in Asia where we have a high humidity and high heat so I would like to buy a refrigerator and bypass the thermostat with a new "thermostat so I can set it to +18-20c and use it as a dry food storage would this be possible?
You said that you turn the fans to 220 volt? Do you mean 110 volt? 220 is what a dryer usually works on. Refrigerators and freezers themselves only run off 110 volt
I have a KitchenAid KRMF706. Everything works, but the control board wont go into defrost. Bimetal and element are okay. Is there a way to defrost analog, but everything else remains?
Amazing . Would I be able to do this with my Defy F-580. Computer board is bust Breaks my heart to throw it away if we can convert it.... please advise?
@@JDNelRefrigeration How would I do tha ? I'm no technician. But I have one i can call on. He hasn't suggested changing Electronic to manual. Admittedly you make it look easy, I feel I could attempt it myself.
@@hagarnyackaal7884 If you want I will send you a wiring diagram of how I alter on the wiring and which components I use to replace the function of the PC board. email: jdnelrefrigeration@gmail.com
There are 2 different ways to get around that. 1. Replace the compressor with a conventional type. 2. Run the compressor through an inverter that you can manually switch on & off through the mechanical parts.
The fan motors have 3 wires each. So i assume it runs on a 12v 3 phase system. which I have never tried to duplicate. You can't just put 12v AC or DC on that motor. It will not run
@@JDNelRefrigeration can you imagine the shelving of that fridge cost R5000, I've got one here it mine and you just open my eyes boss I appreciate thank you and God bless you.
Hello sir, I have one problem pcb convert to mechanical in no frost refrigerator but in this refrigerator solenoid valve tell me wiring how to convert thank you sir.
A word of caution. You are using thin yellow wires designed for a very low current sensor to power the relatively high current 220V compressor, via the mechanical thermostat. That is a safety risk. If possible use 2 or 3 unsed wires and combine them in parallel to increase the current carrying capability. Alternatively try to pull a thicker wire through the existing hole (unlikely). At worst make a hole in the back of the fridge and feed a thicker wire through. DO NOT drill through the back. Use a sharp spike and push it carefully through the rear wall from the inside to avoid damaging any coolant pipes inside the back of the fridge. Just drill carefully through the metal at the back where the spike pushes it out. After running the wire through seal the hole both sides with silicone.
My technical skills has really improved watching your videos. Thank you sir

Just did the same on two customer refrigerators I had.... ain't no stopping us I salute you Big bro.

Good job JD. Thx for the idea.

My pc board is damaged. Do you know anyone who repairs?
No unfortunatly not.
@JDNelRefrigeration Anyway I will see what I can do to "analoguize" it.

Nice! Can you do this also when you have a inverter compressor (inverter board must be good)
Yes it can be done.

I have a question
I live in Asia where we have a high humidity and high heat so I would like to buy a refrigerator and bypass the thermostat with a new "thermostat so I can set it to +18-20c and use it as a dry food storage would this be possible?
Appreciate your effort sir, but my worry is the RPM of 220-volts fans is usually very low to blow enough air like the DC fans with higher rpm. Thanks
Yes they are, that's why I open the damper bigger for more airflow.
Thank you so much for your videos o am busy with the same fridge right now but will I be able to still use the DC fan but via the transformer
No. I replace them with 220v AC fans
You said that you turn the fans to 220 volt? Do you mean 110 volt? 220 is what a dryer usually works on. Refrigerators and freezers themselves only run off 110 volt
The only place in the world that uses 110v is USA and parts of Canada. Europe and South Africa is 220V.

Yes there is a way but it is too complicated to explain here.

@@JDNelRefrigeration thank you ever so much. I will email you.
Please what if the compressor is inverter?
There are 2 different ways to get around that. 1. Replace the compressor with a conventional type. 2. Run the compressor through an inverter that you can manually switch on & off through the mechanical parts.
You are my star
Rather than replace the fans, could you just add a converter to change from 220 to 12v?
The fan motors have 3 wires each. So i assume it runs on a 12v 3 phase system. which I have never tried to duplicate. You can't just put 12v AC or DC on that motor. It will not run
BLDC motors
If the board works, could I replace the refrigerator sensor with a freezer sensor to turn it into a freezer on both sides?
No it won't work. The sensors are identical for fridge and freezer.
What kind of thermometer are you using for checking the temperature?
They are self contained thermometers that are used on commercial island fridges. The ones I use are part number TPM-10

I have done over 4000 of them in the last 20 years and I have never once had an issue with the sensor wire.
220 volts but half the amperage of the same one on 110 volts. That coupled with his experience,,, what are we to say?
All that crap to go wrong
What do you mean?
