Description

This capillary tube is the slim refrigerant restriction used in sealed cooling systems to control refrigerant flow into the evaporator. It helps maintain proper cooling performance by metering refrigerant between system components. What it does:

• Restricts and meters refrigerant flow as part of the appliance's sealed refrigeration circuit
• Helps regulate evaporator pressure for consistent cooling performance
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as reduced cooling, uneven temperatures, or icing issues when damaged or clogged
• Functions as a passive component—no electrical connections

What's included: One capillary tube (quantity: 1) Install notes:

• Intended for use in sealed refrigeration systems; replacement typically requires recovering refrigerant per EPA regulations
• Installation may require service tools (flare/braze fittings) and knowledge of refrigeration systems
• Inspect associated fittings and seals during replacement and pressure-test the system before recharging
• Handle carefully to avoid kinks or crush damage that will impair function
