What is Know Frost?

Refrigerators Samsung "No Frost" differs from the "brothers" with the usual cooling system in that there is not a familiar evaporator made of metal in the freezer compartment, where the products for freezing are laid.

Device

The device of the refrigerator Know Frost has such features:

  1. Evaporator in such models is taken out of the camera, which creates a cold, in the rear wall case and hidden behind the plastic panels.

Important! This technology is also called defrosting of the windy type.

  1. The products in the refrigerator of this type are cooled by cold air circulating through the chambers, passing through the evaporator, which is more correctly called an air cooler.
  2. The evaporator itself looks like an automotive radiator.
  3. In various models of devices, the air cooler can be located either in the top or bottom of the freezer, or behind the panel on the back of this camera.
  4. In refrigerators with the "No Frost" system there is an additional fan that is installed behind the evaporator.

Important! It is the fan that takes the air from the freezing and refrigerating chambers, and then drives it through the evaporator. Passing through the evaporator, the air is cooled to a certain temperature. Then, through the channel system, is directed to the products.

  1. Most of the cold air enters the freezer, and the rest, through an additional channel, goes to the refrigerator.
  2. Contrary to the name of the system "No Frost", which translates as "without frost," moisture still settles, but not on the walls, but on the evaporator, which is closed from the eyes. Once in 8-16 hours, the frost thaws the heating elements located under the evaporator.
  3. The defrosting team is given a mechanical or electronic timer. Therefore, thanks to this technology, you can clean the refrigerator inside once a year. This facilitates the care of the unit and saves the owner time "miracle equipment."

How does defrosting occur?

Without periodic defrosting, refrigerators simply could not function. In order to understand how this process takes place in the refrigerator "Samsung Nou Frost", we will get acquainted with the standard procedure of this action:

  1. After a certain time( 10-14 hours), after counting the freezing cycle, the timer makes opening of some contacts and closing of others.
  2. The fan and compressor power supply circuit is broken, the heaters turn on.
  3. As a result, the temperature on the surface of the evaporator rises, and the frost begins to thaw from it, and the melted water flows down the tube into a special container located on the back of the freezer on the compressor casing.
  4. As the compressor becomes very hot during operation, the water evaporates with time.

Important! Manual refrigerators with the "No Frost" system are not defrosted, only one-time-a-year disconnection of the device from the network is allowed - for washing the cameras and their parts.

Advantages "Samsung Nou Frost"

Refrigerators with automatic defrosting system from the manufacturer "Samsung" have the following advantages and advantages:

  1. The temperature is evenly distributed.
  2. Quickly re-create the necessary storage conditions for products with a large load or frequent opening of the door.
  3. Multithreaded cooling system. Cold air through the holes located on each shelf effectively and evenly cools the products.
  4. Quality thermal insulation.
  5. The presence of a digital display allows you to set the desired temperature - both in the freezer and in the refrigerator compartment.
  6. Protected container. While maintaining a low temperature in a protected container, the products are perfectly preserved, in addition, the medicines in such a container will not be accessible to children.
  7. Save time and effort to defrost the refrigerator.
  8. Vegetables and fruits remain fresh for a very long time.

Disadvantages of "Know Frost"

The "No Frost" refrigerators have one feature that must be borne in mind: as air blowing of products by air flows inside the device, it leads to their dehydration and airing.

Important! All products in the refrigerator of this type must be stored in packages.

The provided technology has a number of drawbacks:

  1. High noise level.
  2. Part of the camera's volume is built-in equipment.
  3. Increased electricity costs.
  4. The price of the device is higher than that of the drip version.

System Faults No Frost in the refrigerator Samsung RL34ECMB

Most often all hardware failures are caused either by improper installation or improper operation.

Important! In order to maintain the warranty for the service of Samsung Nou Frost manufacturer, self-disassembly of the refrigerator is strictly prohibited.

Breakdowns are more and less common. Let's consider the main ones.

Defect of the evaporator thermal relay

An indication of such a malfunction is the frost coating. For 2-3 days of such a breakdown the evaporator will completely cover with a snow layer and the refrigerator, because of the temperature rise in the chambers, ceases to freeze. The compressor in this case will stop turning off the thermostat.

Your actions:

  • Unplug the refrigerator from the mains.
  • Remove the device from products and drawer shelves.
  • Open the refrigerator door wider.
  • Defrost the unit for 8-10 hours.
  • Consult a specialist service center - most likely a control board replacement is required.

timer failure This fault is characterized by the same symptoms as the previous one. Do not try to correct the situation yourself, but act in the same way as with a thermal relay failure.

Other breakdowns

Due to mechanical damage to the components, for various reasons, there are such breakages:

  • The defrost chain defrost circuit.
  • Freon leak from the circuit.

Incorrect operation can lead to such problems:

  1. Clogging of the capillary pipeline.
  2. Dirty filter of the dehumidifier.

Less common faults are:

  1. Compressor winding failure.
  2. Compressor motor jamming and as a consequence - no engine rotation.
  3. Defects of blower fan. The first sign of such a breakdown is the lack of fan noise and temperature rise in the chambers.

Important! In all these cases it is better to contact the Samsung Service Center.

Before buying modern hardware, be sure to carefully read the instructions from the manufacturer, which clearly indicates all the rules and conditions of use, as well as all possible failures and the causes of their occurrence. The device of a refrigerator "Samsung" Nou Frost works under the accurate scheme. Therefore, if you do not allow it to finish the defrost-freeze cycle, for example, due to lack of electricity, various malfunctions are possible. In this sense, the aggregates are very whimsical. We hope that having studied all the advantages and rules of using the device, you will be happy to use miracle equipment.
