We have a 2001 Kitchen Aid refrigerator mo# KSSS48QKX00 leaking inside cabinet wall behind evaporator in freezer section. Evaporator not showing any bubbles but plug in cabinet shows Freon leaking with H110 leak detector. The high side line leaves the tail of condenser and goes into top of back wall then to where?it eventually exits bottom near drain pan and helps heat pan to evaporate condensate, then back to top to dryer and cap tube attached to suction line.( Thermal Pipe)
My question that I need help with is why is this tube going into the cabinet, with the return pipe is exposed under a removable panel? What is the purpose of this? Helping to sub cool for better effective
Cooling like sub cooling? Can I bypass is or chop open cabinet from back and start pulling insulation.
Thanks for any and all help with this.
If I can fix this large unit I could use it for hanging a small doe to process.
