    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

    I admire your dedication to not throw away a perfectly good fridge for the sake of a small component on a pc board.

      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.

    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?

    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.

    • @JDNelRefrigeration
      @JDNelRefrigeration  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

    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

    • @JDNelRefrigeration

      The only place in the world that uses 110v is USA and parts of Canada. Europe and South Africa is 220V.

  • @kensemr
    @kensemr ปีที่แล้ว

    Rather than replace the fans, could you just add a converter to change from 220 to 12v?

    • @JDNelRefrigeration
      @JDNelRefrigeration  ปีที่แล้ว

      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

      No it won't work. The sensors are identical for fridge and freezer.

      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.

    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

  • @pmolsen1
    @pmolsen1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.
