Title: Repair for gas leakage through the
evaporation ring Combi Built-in
Affected products:
Mechanic Combi with thermostat Built-in produced at CARINARO (47)
BCB.; IN CB
What the Customer notes
Hot fridge.
Problem Root Cause
No perfect sealing on the evaporation ring
Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the MAINS SUPPLY before carrying out any work,
other than when undertaking specified observation checks.
Spare Parts to be used
Intervention to be done:
1) The product has been pressurized and internal leakage
was detected (Fig. 1). Leave the capillaries and the
return pipe disconnected from the compressor,
because when the recovery operation of the internal
circuit will be completed, before carrying out the
vacuum and charging, the circuit cleaning should be
performed.
2) Remove the condenser from the appliance by removing
the four screws that secure it (Fig. 2).

Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the MAINS
SUPPLY before carrying out any work, other than when
undertaking specified observation checks.
Intervention to be done:
3) At the height of 50 cm from the plinth (starting from above the
compressor, see Fig. 3) and at 15 cm from the left side panel, make an
opening of 10x15cm. Do not cut the plastic panel from all four sides,
but leaving a hooked portion so as to close again as shown in Fig 4.
4) Free the ring from the foam so you can make the repair (Fig. 4)
5) Cut the aluminum tube no more than 2 cm from the ring, and cut the
capillary (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6)
6) Pull down with a pliers the capillary so as to approach the latter to the
aluminum tube to do the repair (Fig. 7).

Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the MAINS SUPPLY before carrying out any work,
other than when undertaking specified observation checks.
Intervention to be done:
7) You can perform the leakage repair in two ways:
with welding: insert the capillary inside the aluminum tube for
a maximum of 2 cm (Fig. 8 and Fig 9). Put a protective plate
behind the point to be welded to avoid causing damage to the
appliance (Fig. 10). Perform welding between copper and
aluminum using the alloy C00143875 (Fig. 11 e Fig. 12).

Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the MAINS SUPPLY before carrying out any work,
other than when undertaking specified observation checks.
Intervention to be done:
with lokring: put glue on both ends of the pipes and place the
lokring paying attention to align the same with the two pipes
to be connected. Clamp the connector (Fig. 13 and Fig. 14).
8) To reduce the noise produced during operation, noise due to the
expansion of the gas, you can apply soundproof material (C00306744
- TEROSTAT 82) to the weld or to the lokring ring as shown in Figure
15. Place the pipes back into the appliance.
9) To insulate the parts where the insulating material was removed, use
the foam caring to counteract the expansion of the polyurethane
foam, using properly secured jigs (made of cardboard, wood, etc.).
This contributes to a better density of the foam, as well as to avoid
that any foam leak may soil the cabinet (Fig. 13).
10) Apply some silicon to let the plastic panel previously opened adhere
well and close properly securing it with tape.
11) Replace the filter then weld it again
12) Reposition the condenser; do an empty and recharge of the product.
