    I’m just learning how to solder/braze. I’m wondering why you have to clean the outside of tube if the solder will be inside

      So it can stick the rod better. Especially working on samsung they put some type of coating on copper lines if you try to solder without sanding it it wont stick properly it will just be a huge mess

      Evacuate the system (vaccum down), and then you add how many ounces it needs.

    everything looked great until you were brazing without a trace of nitrogen.Also pressurize 1 line with nitro and cover other fitting with finger.Let it build a little pressure then let off a couple of times if there was any flux left inside it would come out. Just my 2cents.

    • @goodeyes2c

      Not need to do all that, when you use the right solder, pull a good vac, been doing it for years, no nitro, no call backs👍

    Is this an invertor compressor..ahh I see it is... I've seen way too many inverter compressors go bad versus a standard compressor, I want to pull my inverter compressor out, install a standard compressor. any idea how to make it run from a signal from the inverter may be pulling in a relay

    I also have an LG refrigerator and I know that I have to change the compressor but the challenge I am having is that I can't find a rating on the compressor to know which one exactly I am to buy.I will really appreciate you help in this area,how can I know the correct compressor that I have to buy .Furthermore,is it compulsory to buy a linear compressor if the one that came with the refrigerator gets bad and needs to be changed.

      I checked into getting a Jig and the price is quite expensive in Canada. Is there another way around doing the software upgrade? You would think LG would give you the update with the new compressor.
