Description of objects for repairing

Repairing procedure

• Before starting any maintenance tasks, ensure the freezer and fridge are unplugged from the power source to prevent electrical hazards.
• Allow the appliances to defrost completely and cool down if they have been recently in use.

• You’ll typically need a screwdriver set (usually Phillips-head and possibly flat-head), work gloves, and possibly a flashlight for better visibility.

• Locate the defrost thermostat and defrost heater in the freezer compartment. They are usually located behind the rear panel or beneath the evaporator coils.
• Carefully disconnect any wiring harnesses or connectors attached to the thermostat and heater.
• Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove any mounting screws securing the components in place.
• Gently pull out the old defrost thermostat and heater from their positions.
• Install the new defrost thermostat and heater in the same positions as the old ones and secure them with the mounting screws.
• Reconnect the wiring harnesses to the corresponding terminals on the new components.

• Freon replacement should only be done by certified technicians as it involves handling refrigerant gases, which can be harmful if not handled properly. If you suspect a freon leak or low refrigerant levels, it’s best to contact a professional technician for assistance.

• Inspect the gaskets on both the freezer and fridge doors for any signs of wear, tears, or damage.
• To replace the gaskets, carefully remove the old gaskets by gently pulling them away from the door.
• Align the new gaskets along the edges of the door and press firmly to ensure a tight seal.

• If your appliance is equipped with an ice maker and water valve, locate them usually in the freezer compartment.
• Carefully disconnect any water supply lines connected to the ice maker and water valve.
• Use the appropriate screwdriver to remove any mounting screws securing the components in place.
• Gently pull out the old ice maker and water valve from their positions.
• Install the new ice maker and water valve in the same positions as the old ones and secure them with the mounting screws.
• Reconnect the water supply lines to the corresponding terminals on the new components.

• Plug the freezer and fridge back into the power source.
• Test each component you’ve worked on (defrost thermostat, defrost heater, gaskets, ice maker, water valve) to ensure they are functioning properly.
• Monitor the appliances for any unusual sounds or behaviors during initial use.
