LG W081CM - Capillary Tube

2.4.3 CAPILLARY TUBE 3. Remove the capillary tube.
1. Remove the cabinet. (Refer to section 2.1.2) 4. Re-install the component by referring to notes.
2. After discharging the refrigerant completely,
unbraze the interconnecting tube at the capillary
tube.(See caution above)
