- A
True
- B
False
For appliances using ozone-depleting refrigerant, at what full-charge threshold does the Section 608 leak-repair program apply?

Only appliances with a full charge of five pounds or less
- C
Appliances with a full charge of 50 pounds or more
- D
Only appliances that use a refrigerant other than an ozone-depleting refrigerant
After repairing a refrigerant-circuit fault, which approach is suitable for checking the repair for leaks?
- A
Use an appropriate detector or an approved pressure-test procedure, checking disturbed joints and repaired areas
- B
Rely only on whether the appliance appears to cool after the repair
- C
Add refrigerant repeatedly instead of checking for leaks
- D
Use any pressure-test procedure regardless of whether it is approved or suitable for the appliance
Select all practices that belong in a compliant procedure when refrigerant-circuit work is necessary on a small appliance.
- A
Recover refrigerant before opening the circuit
- B
Use recovery equipment certified for the intended application
- C
Follow the recovery-equipment manufacturer's instructions
- D
Intentionally release refrigerant to reduce pressure before opening the circuit
Select all items that are useful to include in a clear small-appliance service record.
- A
Appliance identifier
- B
Refrigerant type and nameplate charge
- C
Reported problem, diagnosis, and work performed
- D
Leak-check method and result
- E
Refrigerant recovered or added and operating checks
- F
A sticker alone as proof that refrigerant was properly recovered
- G
A record of every internal discussion among shop employees
When refrigerant has been removed before an appliance enters the waste stream, the final disposer must obtain a signed statement identifying who recovered it and (unless an applicable supplier contract assigns responsibility for recovery).
After repairing a small appliance's refrigerant circuit, what steps should a technician take to verify the repair and return the appliance to service?
Which appliance meets the Section 608 definition of a small appliance?
- A
A field-assembled unit with a four-pound charge and a hermetically sealed circuit
- B
A factory-manufactured, charged, hermetically sealed appliance with a five-pound charge
- C
A factory-manufactured, charged appliance with a six-pound charge and a hermetically sealed circuit
- D
A factory-manufactured appliance with a four-pound charge and a circuit that is not hermetically sealed
A customer reports that a refrigerator is not cooling well. Before deciding that the sealed system needs repair, which approach best follows the service workflow?
- A
Connect gauges immediately to see whether the sealed system is low on refrigerant
- B
Add refrigerant and then check whether the appliance cools
- C
Check accessible items such as power, controls, airflow, and door seals before concluding the sealed system is at fault
- D
Replace the compressor before checking other operating conditions
True or false: Because a qualifying small appliance contains five pounds or less of refrigerant, intentionally venting refrigerant during its service is allowed.
- A
True
- B
False
A technician plans to connect gauges to a qualifying small appliance, which could compromise its refrigerant circuit. Which statement best describes the certification requirement?
- A
Type I certification is applicable to refrigerant-circuit service on small appliances
- B
No Section 608 certification is needed for any service on a small appliance
- C
Certification is needed only when the appliance has a charge greater than five pounds
- D
Type I certification applies only to recovering refrigerant for disposal
For a small appliance with a working compressor, when qualifying recovery equipment manufactured after November 15, 1993 is used, what is the general recovery-performance benchmark? Enter the percentage-point value as a number only.
A technician is checking whether the EPA Section 608 leak-repair program for ozone-depleting refrigerant applies to an appliance. What full-charge threshold does the program use?
- A
Any amount of refrigerant, if a leak is detected
- B
Five pounds or more
- C
Twenty-five pounds or more
- D
Fifty pounds or more
