Cold generation – key and one of the most vulnerable functions in operation of the fridge. It can cease to freeze entirely or only in one camera. Similar breakage is characteristic of any type of fridges. In some cases malfunction can be eliminated independently if truly to establish the reason.
Why the fridge doesn't freeze: the simple reasons which are easy for eliminating
Problems with the socket
One of the popular reasons of lack of a hladogeneration – a problem with power supply. First of all check whether densely the cord with a fork is inserted into the socket. It is quite possible to cope with it independently.
The option of failure of the socket, for example from power surge in network is possible. In this case the help of the qualified electrician can be required.
Problems with sealant
The elastic band on a fridge door wears out over time, even at careful operation. As a result inside there passes warm air from the house. The solution of this problem comes down to sealant replacement. It can be done the hands: it is necessary to remove a door, to smooth out a contour from the failed elastic band, and then to build in new.
Rare defrosting
The fridge can cease to cool due to the lack of planned razmorozok. With system No Frost it doesn't belong to models. The problem is fixed easily in house conditions – rather well to defreeze the fridge and day later anew to include. Better to do it in the stage-by-stage way: disconnect it from network, open wide open, pull out contents and wait Ponoy of a defrosting in the natural way. It is forbidden to add any accelerators of process.
Zazhatiye of the button of a defrosting
It is difficult to call it breakage. Zazhatiye of the button of a defrosting usually occurs by carelessness of the person, most often just closely put products because of what there is its switching off to it.
Doesn't freeze the fridge: the reasons demanding the help of the master
Freon leak
Freon is a coolant. In terms of chemistry it belongs to group of fluorinated hydrocarbons. There are several types of freon (isobutane, тетрафторэтан, etc.), but function at them one – ice generation. In refrigeration units freon is in a liquid or gaseous look.
Its leak can come from the cooling system of the fridge for various reasons, among widespread:
- damage of the freezer;
- corrosion of metal tubes on which freon circulates.
The freezer can be damaged in the mechanical way, for example when splitting ice during a defrosting. Metal tubes rust over time. It is natural process with which it is difficult to make something.
High fluidity is characteristic of many types of freon. Thanks to it they are capable to filter with ease through microopenings. Because of it to find the place of leak it is problematic, and it is difficult to liquidate the hands similar malfunction. The inhabitant can understand, there was a leak of freon or not.
The first that has to guard – fall of temperature. Some modern models of fridges report about it blinking of the external indicator or a sound signal. Among other signs – full-time employment of the compressor. In case of coolant leak the fridge can't reach the necessary temperature therefore he seeks to compensate the shortage of cold by full-time employment. About leak of freon also inflation of a wall or obvious non-uniform hoarfrost in the camera speaks.
Blockage of tubes of the cooling system
Over time tubes with freon not only rust, but also get littered. It is better to entrust identification and elimination of similar malfunction to the professional as the special equipment for this purpose is required. If the blockage noncritical, then light percussion on a tube shifts a stopper and freon will begin to circulate freely. At the same time keep in mind that independent not absolutely successful intervention in the cooling system is fraught with freon deflation.
Frosting of the fan
The problem is characteristic of models with system No Frost. The classical reason of frosting of the fan – failure ТЭНов. Elimination of a similar problem usually doesn't cause difficulties in experts.
Breakage of the compressor
In the fridge there is temperature detector. It can fail because of hit of liquids on it from food. When the sensor shows the wrong data, the compressor works at high power and quickly breaks. It can fail also for other reasons, for example because of ordinary leak of freon or a production defect.
Prevention measures
Often the fridge ceases to freeze because of inadequate care for it and neglect elementary service regulations. To minimize risk of emergence of similar malfunction, follow simple rules.
- Use the surge protector. It will save the fridge from sharp power surges which are capable to put the compressor out of action.
- Refuse use of aggressive acid cleaners at a defrosting. Advantage of them extremely doubtful. Cleaners with addition of acids do harm to the cooling system and also sealant on a door.
- You shouldn't put hot pans and other tanks in the fridge. It prepares the cooling system for inevitable death.
- Install the fridge in the right place: not end-to-end to a wall and far from batteries and other devices of heating. Otherwise heat from the device will fully not be taken away. Also it will increase electric power expenses as the compressor will be forced to work in the emergency mode.
