E. REPAIR TECHNIQUES
E.1 INTRODUCTION
Some of the repair tasks that you may have to carry out on the cooling system of a
solar powered refrigerator are similar to those for a normal compression refrigerator.
These have been fully described in the Technicians Handbook for compression

Immunization. You should have a copy of each of these three booklets in order to
carry out the repair tasks listed below.
(a)
Replacing a thermostat (see part C)
(b)
Replacing a compressor ((see part C)
(c)
Mending a refrigerant leak (see part A & part C)
(d)
Recharging the refrigerant loop when the system is undercharged (see part A
& part B)
(e)
Recharging the refrigerant loop when the system is overcharged (see part B)
(f)
Replacing the evaporator (see part C)
(g)
Replacing a capillary tube (see part C)
(h)
Replacing a fitter/drier (see part C)
(i)
Replacing the lid /door sealing gasket
(j)

Other repair tasks that you may have to carry out on a solar powered refrigerator are

refrigerator manufacturer, if these are available as their instructions should be more
specific.
