Wont heat up....2 piece copper band is seperated. Loks like it should be soldered together. Cant follow the circuit visualy. Understand the heat coil then swithc to warm but cant figure out the thermostat circuit.

Answer This Question
  • dlg2000 Dec 26, 2008

    The problem appears to be a thermal fuse - the solder between the contacts on the copper ribbon melts when the temperature under the coffee maker gets too high - such as when all the coffee is served but the device remains plugged in for a long time - and the ribbon spring pulls away separating the contacts and opening the circuit.



    I soldered mine back together with regular electrical solder - it worked a couple more times but then one time when the unit was plugged in and then immediately un-plugged after about 60 seconds (it was too early to make the coffee), one hour later the unit would not operate when plugged in.



    Disassembling the base revealed that the fuse was sprung again.



    What I would like to know is what the loop of something covered with a white insulating weave is that goes around the bottom of the water chamber is (away from the tightly coiled heater coil in the center) - it is tied in parallel to the "Ready" lamp. Is it part of the warming thermostat, and how does it work?

The copper "band" is your element. check out nelson small appliance for parts. you may need a new element. one side of your "line" goes to the element, the rest is a circuit in series with the other element lead - switch - thermostat etc.

Drain plug in the freezer froze shut and when I tried to unclog I moved the evaporator coil a little and I heard gas leaking from a copper line coming out of the evaporator coil that has a copper wire...
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but what has happened is,where that small diameter tube connects the evap. coil its soldered then the connection is covered with heat shrink tubing,when that joint busted and the refrigerant came out,allowing moisture to enter into the sealed system,that moisture will wreak havoc on the compresssor and the evap.coil
Here is what is needs to be replaced to repair that

Compressor
Evaporator coil
Refrigerant filter/dryer
Refrigerant charge
Misc.items fee(silver solder is the only solder than can be used, it's expensive)

My wine ref, is not cooling, i can hear it running but it just dont cool. this is the everstar wine refergerator Model number HDBC361D
I HAVE ONE OF THESE COOLERS I HAVE REPAIRED MY UNIT BY CAREFULLY PULLING OUT EACH EVAP COIL AND SANDING THE RUSTY AREA AROUND THE SOLDER CONNECTIONS AND SOLDERING THEM WITH A PROPANE TORCH GLAZING THE LINES WITH SILVER SOLDER AND FLUX. THEN AROUND ON THE BACK OF THE UNIT IT HAS 2 VALVES THAT CONTROL THE FREON GAS FLOW/ CUT THE COPPER LINES THAT GO TO THE 2 VALVES AND CAREFULLY BEND THE TUBING AND RESOLDER THE TWO LINES BACK TOGETHER WITH A HOMEMADE COPPER TUBING , BY ROLLING COPPER AROUND A SCREWDRIVER FASHIONING A TUBE TO CONNECT THE PIPES TOGETHER, RESOLDER THE PIPES SO THE FREON WILL NOW FLOW FREELY INTO EACH COIL. THEN RECHARGE THE UNIT WITH A CAN OF PAG 1 OUNCE OIL AND 2 OUNCES OF FREON 134A. RUN UNIT TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A SPAY BOTTLE AND SOAP WATER. YOU CAN OBTAIN A SADDLE VALVE FOR RECHARGING REFRIGERATORS AND INSTALL IT ON THE COMPRESSOR TUBE THAT IS COMING OUT OF THE COMPRESSOR AND IS WELDED SHUT BY FACTORY WHEN BUILT. CHAR4GE THE UNIT WITH 3.75 OUNCES OF 134A AND 1 OUNCE OF PAG OIL TO REPLENISH COMPRESSOR OIL FROM DISCHARGEING UNIT! REPAIR AS DIRECTED AND BOTH SIDES WILL REACH A 36 DEGREES. THE UNIT WILL NOW COOL TO 36 AND SHUT OFF BOTH SIDES ARE NOW WORKING AS 1 UNIT AND COOLING EFFICENTLY. THE VALVES GET STUCK AND WONT ALLOW FREON TO PASS THEN 1 VALVE LEAKS AND THE OTHER WONT OPEN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS UNIT THIS IS THE BEST AND CHEAPEST REPAIR BY DAVID MAYHALL. [email protected] THE FIXIT MAN!

Turns on but doesn't heat only a year old LG LRM1260SW 1200 Watts Microwave Oven
I have had the LG model lrm1260sw microwave for 3 years. Recently it quit heating. I found the problem was the soldered grounding lug connection on the power transformer had lost circuit continuity and failed. One of the secondary coils on the power transformer, red wire / bare copper wire, is connected to ground / chassis. I cleaned the lug connection and added a length of wire twisted together with the bare copper coil wire and soldered to the grounding lug. I then grounded the extra added length of wire to another chassis ground point. Make sure the transformer to chassis mounting screws are tight also. Now the microwave oven works like new again.

Coil is broken. can it be soldered together?
Good day,
As a rule copper/steel yes. Aluminum no. However, if aluminum, wait a while, some guy may be weaving magic out there as I post this.
Small holes can be epoxied, but your describing a complete break.
2 brass unions and a new section of pipe might be made to work, but the ferrules in the union are copper, and copper and aluminum don't like each other, eventually leading to failure.

How do I replace the LCD inverter in a Gateway 3018GZ laptop?
Hi,
Remove the screen bezel (plastic screen surround), this will reveal the whole screen. At the bottom of the screen you will see an elongated piece of circuit board with wires coming from either end covered by frosted plastic.
That is the inverter, to remove it gently pull the plugs from each end and remove the screw from the middle and pull the board away and replace it.
If you have not got a replacement yet look at the inverter for a copper coil, if you re-solder the solder points around the coil you may find it works again as components that suffer from extreme heat the solder joints dry causing bad connections, re-floating the solder solves the problem in 90% of cases.


Good luck.

Can sirius antennas be cut and spliced back together


If your antenna cable has been cut or severed, it can be repaired without the need for a replacement.

You will need the following things:


Small 600 degree soldering iron and solder.
Liquid flux for soldering the braid.
Small sizes of heat shrink tubing.
Small heat gun.
Small pliers, cutter, and Xacto knife.




1) The first step is to use the Xacto knife to cut both ends of the antenna cable so you have a clean end.

2) Using the Xacto knife roll the cable on a board and gently cut all around the cable to cut the outer insulation. Remove about 1/2 inch of the insulation from each end.

3) Push the braid back to expose the center wire and gently roll the cable and cut the center insulation to expose about 1/10 inch of the center wire. With your small long nose pliers, bend the center wire into a small hook shape.

4) Repeat all the above steps on the other end of the wire.

5) Put a 1 inch piece of heat shrink tubing on one end ( the black piece), and a 1/4 inch piece of heat shrink (the white piece) on the center conductor. Look at the picture to see this.

5) Hook the two ends together. Gently squeeze the hooks closed and solder them together. Be very careful when soldering this. Be quick so you do not apply to much heat and cause the heat shrink tubing to shrink on the side where you do not want it to be.

6) Slide the small white heat shrink to cover the cooled solder joint you just made and use the heat gun to shrink the tubing in place.


7) Now push the braids back together to cover over the connection you just made. Try make the braid smooth together by GENTLY rolling the cable between your fingers. Carefully solder the braid. A little liquid flux on the braid prior to soldering helps the solder flow and makes it look better.

8) Slide the final piece of heat shrink tubing over the braid and shrink it with the heat gun.

My guitar hero world tour drum kit is broken
If you know how to solder, you can resolder the wire back onto the connector. I just did that tonight actually. the orange cymbal has a white wire and a black/bare copper wire. You can cut open the male connector [I use an exact-o knife along the underside mold line] (one side only) so you can just slide the wires/connector back into it. The white would solder onto the base of the male connector. The bare copper thats wrapped around the white one is the black/bare copper wire mentioned above. This one is soldered to the tip [the solder point inside that small black plastic piece] of the connector. Once you have it soldered, just slip the male connector rubber piece back into place and use some super glue to glue back together.I wrap it in electrical tape just so its definitely secured. If wire length is an issue, simply solder some wire extensions before soldering to the male connector/plug.

How to disassemble metz battery pack
Cleaning is unlikely to cure your problem.
To change the cells follow these instructions, taking care not to short circuit any of the cells.
You need to know how to use a soldering Iron.
You need to understand basic electrical principals.


Stand the battery on the part with the charge socket at the bottom, the plastic at the top is held in place by a series of plastic latches.
Look closely to see them.
Release these latches CAREFULLY one by one with awatchmakers screwdriver, until the cover can be removed.
This will enable you to see a single, roughly central crosshead screw.
Remove this screw.
Unsolder the contacts at the top.
Separate the top and bottom parts gently, whilst feeding the now unsoldered wires into the assembly until you can see the lower soldered contacts on the cell units.
Unsolder these two contacts, and separate the top and bottom parts completely.
Withdraw the six cell units together, and hol them together with an elastic band.examine closely and note the long metal strip which is required to pass over a seperator in the housing.
Note also the transparent rings around the positive contacts on the cells, recover an re use these.
Purchase either solder tagged NiCads and solder them yourself, or get a battery supplier to replicate the complete six cell unit. (30 bucks here in France).
DO NOT try to solder cells without solder tags. Battery replacement stores are equipped with micro spot welding equipment to connect these.
In either case it is MUCH easier to reassemble the battery pack using the upper housing to keep the cells in place whilst soldering or welding.
Rebuild the unit.
Done!
