Page 38: Replacing R600A Sealed System Components
Replacing R600a Sealed System Components The following information covers the evacuation and charging procedures for R600a sealed system work. • Factory service technicians should NEVER use a torch when servicing sealed systems which use R600a refrigerant. • The use of LOKRING is the recommended and preferred method to repair R600a systems by GE Appliances, should it be necessary. -
Page 39: Lokring
LOKRING The LOKRING repair method utilizes a tool with a ratchet action that provides proper compression on the LOKRING connector to connect tubing instead of brazing. The repair method requires the use of a solution called LOKPREP. LOKPREP is a sealant that will fill any scratches, grooves, or imperfections on the surface of the tubing. -
