The refrigerator is not an easy high-tech device, it's not so easy to understand. Serves such a household appliance usually for a long time, but sometimes there is an incomprehensible problem: the refrigerator is a two-chamber refrigerator - the upper chamber does not work and the freezer freezes. It seems that the refrigerator and is working, but in fact - no. This problem is not only unpleasant, but also dangerous. First of all, the refrigerator can finally break down, which threatens with considerable financial losses. If the products are stored at the wrong temperature - this is a direct threat to health. Let's try to figure out what happened, and whether it can be fixed.
to the contents ↑Operation of the refrigerator and freezer
The compressor is the heart of the refrigerator. The general scheme of operation of the device looks like this:
- Thanks to it, the pressure builds up. It is with the help of the generated pressure that the coolant moves to the condenser, where the gas turns into a liquid.
- The process generates heat, which is felt when touching the rear wall of the refrigerator.
- Freon, passing through narrow tubes, again turns into gas.
- After getting freon into the evaporator, it boils. The evaporator forms cold.
- Tubes are located around the freezer, from where the cold spreads further. That is, if the freezer does not freeze - there will be no cold in the cold store.
- Then the refrigerant is returned to the compressor and the cycle is completed.
Causes of problems
If the freezer is working in the refrigerator and the refrigerator is not, this does not always indicate a serious problem. First you need to check everything:
- The first thing to check is how tightly the door closes. Unsecure closure leads to a violation of the tightness of the camera, respectively - the cold just goes beyond it.
- Cooling problems can occur due to the cooling of the fan. This happens if you do not defrost the refrigerator for a long time. The problem is solved simply - the device is disconnected from the network and defrosted.
Important! After defrosting, it is necessary to wipe the parts from plastic and metal, as when turning on the refrigerator they can icing even more.
- If the apartment has a high temperature, the compressor may not be able to cope with the high load. In this case, the power is sufficient only for the freezer. This problem is eliminated by setting the cooling controller from the maximum to the average temperature. After that the uniform distribution of the cold in the compartments will begin.
- Foreign matter can clog the capillary tube in the evaporator. Because of this, the circulation of freon is broken and low temperatures can not reach the refrigerating chamber. Repair in this case is required immediately, as the most expensive part of the refrigerator - the compressor - can break.
- If the water temperature sensor or the product remains in the refrigerator, it may break. It immediately needs to be changed, otherwise - a large load on the compressor will lead to a breakdown.
- If copper or aluminum pipes are defective, a leakage occurs in the evaporator system. The compressor for restoring pressure in the system starts to work continuously. The result is a breakdown of the compressor and the evaporator system.
Important! If the upper chamber does not work in the Samsung double-chamber refrigerator, the cause is a compressor failure. In models with two cameras, the cold is produced separately for each of them.

As soon as you notice that the upper chamber does not freeze in the refrigerator, you need to determine the nature of the breakdown. This is necessary in order to inform the master, and he could understand why the refrigerator works in the refrigerator, and there is no refrigeration.
So, the order of your actions:
- We clearly define that the upper chamber does not work, and with the freezer everything is in order.
- Check the presence of heating appliances near the refrigerator. Batteries must be insulated.
- All regulators are thoroughly tested.
- The sealing rubber on the door is inspected.
- It turns out if rust, oily or other stains are on the outer surface of the refrigerator, and ice and snow in the freezer.
- The last stage - the elements and the inner surface are inspected for deformation.
What can I do to make the refrigerator last long?
You can not do without a refrigerator. This purchase can not be called cheap, but it will last a very long time, if you follow the simple rules:
- You need to place the refrigerator in the places designated by the instruction. If you install it near a window, it gets sunrays, which has a negative effect on performance and power consumption. When placed near the cooker, the housing may be damaged.
Important! Heating devices should be located at a distance of not less than 50 centimeters.
- Each product has its own place. There is a division of the internal space into zones. On the door there are branches with a lid - they store butter and cheese. Special holders are designed for eggs. For milk, narrow sides on the doors are intended, and the wine should be stored in special compartments. In the lower part, food products are added( fresh meat and fish are stored for no more than a day).
Important! The products must be packed, as odors are absorbed by the refrigerator.
- The refrigerator must be washed. To do this, use a soft rag or sponge without hard coating. Cleaners should be replaced with soapy water. To get rid of the smell, use ordinary soda, activated charcoal, lemon. Also in shops special scavengers are being sold. Of course, a refrigerator is a necessary thing, and if it is properly taken care of, it will serve for years, and the spoiled products will not cause an allergy or poisoning.
