Why does not the refrigerator turn off?

The refrigerator can not run continuously. Usually he will make a noise for fifteen or twenty minutes, then briefly turn off, then everything starts again. Continuous mode is harmful both for the unit and for the products, but the situation when there are no breaks in work is not so rare. Why does not the refrigerator turn off? The reasons can be very different, and we will now discuss them.

Why does the technique not take breaks?

The refrigerator is a rather complex unit consisting of many components. Failure of any of them can cause violations in the operation of the entire system. In addition, the behavior of such devices is strongly influenced by external conditions.

The refrigerator can "not want" to shut down, because:

• unit is not in place;
• the door is not closed securely;
• is set to freeze mode;
• worn sealant;
• the relay is faulty;
• the thermostat failed;
• evaporates the refrigerant;
• worn compressor;
• clogged the capillaries, that is, the circulation of the refrigerant is broken;The
• fails the control board.

What should I do if the refrigerator does not turn off and is very cold?

First of all, if the refrigerator does not turn off, you need to inspect the unit. This will make it possible to exclude the causes that have arisen because of your carelessness or which can be removed with a slight movement of the hand.

• disable the freeze function if it is turned on by mistake;
• look, where and how is your refrigeration cabinet;
• make sure that the refrigerator door closes tightly.
• , pay attention to what temperature is outside:

Freezing mode

If your refrigerator cabinet has a freezing mode - the cause of too hard work of the unit may be a banal inattention. Check if you have set the mode correctly and correct the error.

Where and how does it stand?

You have correctly defined the mode, but the refrigerator does not shut down - what should I do? Look how it is installed:

1. There should not be any pipes or steam heating batteries nearby.
2. The unit must not stand close to the wall - there must be gaps.
3. The stove, and especially the oven - are not the most suitable "neighbors" for refrigerators and freezers.

Important! Especially dangerous oven with pyrolysis cleaning, located next to the refrigerator.

Sealedness

If the tightness is broken, warm air from the room gets inside the unit. This prevents the temperature from automatically lowering to the desired level. The refrigerator does not understand this, he wants to establish a microclimate, which you have defined for him, and he continues to work.

There may be several reasons for leakage: the

• door is not properly positioned;
• worn sealant;
• something stuck between the case and the door.

Important! Refrigerator Indesite is not turned off - what should I do? Immediately look at the door fastener - a similar defect that occurs during assembly, is especially typical for refrigerated cabinets of this brand. You can, of course, try to rearrange the part yourself, but maybe this is only for a few models. So in any case it is better to call a master - such repairs will cost quite inexpensively.

High Temperature

When the room is too hot, the refrigerator operating in the normal mode can not automatically maintain the temperature that is required from it. He spends a lot of energy - and accordingly, the compressor works without a breather.

Important! When buying a refrigerator or a freezer, pay attention to their climate class - this will help to avoid such problems.

What to do if the refrigerator does not turn off for this reason:

1. You can try to lower the temperature in the room.
2. Protect the appliance from direct sunlight.
3. Turn on the air conditioner or fan.

Important! Ventilate the room should be very careful - the temperature outside the windows may be even higher than in the room. Help to make the air in the room cooler will help the refrigerator itself.

1. Freeze 2-3 bottles of water.
2. Place them near the refrigerator.
3. Beside the fan and turn it on.

If the unit starts to be capricious in the winter, make sure that there is no heater next to it.

Internal causes of

You have carefully inspected everything, eliminated minor problems - but no good. Well, you have to deal with the inside of the unit. Most often you have to deal with non-working:

• compressor;
• thermostat;
• with a refrigerant system.

Compressor

The compressor is the heart of the refrigerator. This is an asynchronous motor made in compliance with international standards.

Important! Why is this engine used? Because it should produce as little noise as possible. The maximum is 58 dB, but there are much quieter units that produce noise no more than 43 dB.

Accordingly - the motor is constantly running at low revs. The piston moves due to the translational movement of the coil core. With the engine, all is well with the three-phase mode.

However, in an ordinary apartment, where a voltage of 220 V is applied, there is almost never an optimal starting condition. There is a shift in one phase, the voltage is applied to the starting winding - part of the stator. As a result, the rotor and the stator enter the correct mode, after which the need for such a winding disappears, but the tension there is still fed, the motor warms up and eventually sticks the relay. Contacts get attached to each other, as a result - breaks in the work does not happen.

Thermostat

This device is responsible for the timely supply of a signal to the contacts. Accordingly - the relay does not open and the engine does not stop. How to find out this reason why the refrigerator does not turn off:

1. Check the device with a multimeter.
2. If the contacts do not open for this reason - replace the thermostat or the temperature sensor.

Malfunctions in the refrigerant circulation system

You can manage the installation of a new temperature sensor yourself. But if there are malfunctions in the refrigerant circulation system - most likely, you will have to call the master or take the refrigerator to the service center.

Important! In this case, the amount of freon is reduced, the "smart" technique seeks to compensate for its lack due to the intensive work of other components. It is necessary to add freon and repair the damage in the system - this can be microscopic cracks. At home, it is almost impossible to determine the location of the leak.

The capillaries of the

are clogged. The refrigerant circulation system is somewhat of akin to the human body. It is all permeated with "vessels" - capillaries. The reason that the refrigerator works without a breather is very often hidden in the evaporator - the capillaries are clogged, an ice cork is formed.

Important! If you are thinking about what to do, why your refrigerator Atlant is not turned off - pay special attention to this system. In such models, such a malfunction happens more often than in analogues from other manufacturers.

An experienced wizard can install a "thrombus" place and fix the refrigerator without taking it out of the apartment. However, sometimes you have to disassemble the unit almost completely. In this case, the refrigerator will have to be taken away.

If the refrigerator freezes not much, but continuously

The reasons for this phenomenon can be:

• wear of the seal;
• leak of freon.

As in the case of strong frost, the seal does not provide sufficient tightness - most often because it is too old. The output suggests itself: to force the unit to stop, it is necessary to change the seal.

Important! The sealer needs exactly the same as it was.

No frost-type refrigerator

Often, it seems to the owners of such units that the refrigerator does not turn off, but in fact, it works in absolutely normal mode. The reason is confusion. Inexperienced owners do not always distinguish engine noise from fan noise. Repair, it is quite possible, nothing will be necessary, but it is necessary to test the refrigerator.

But sometimes such a refrigerator really stops turning off. The most common reason is the incorrect operation of the heater in the evaporator. The element is usually changed.

Two-compartment refrigerator

A two-compartment refrigerator rarely fails completely. Usually the problem occurs in one compartment, most often in where the temperature is higher. The freezer works normally. Malfunctions occur for the same reasons as other units.

Why this problem deserves attention?

Having noticed that the refrigerator has stopped turning off, be sure to immediately understand why this happened and fix the problem. The consequences of your neglect can be very deplorable - the compressor, not knowing rest, will soon break completely.

Important! With continuous operation, the engine serves no more than six months. Replacing the engine can be expensive. In some models, the cost of a compressor is a quarter, or even half the price. Add to this the cost of work - it turns out a little cheaper than buying a new refrigerator. So do not delay and do not expect that it will correct itself.

The unit does not want to work

The owners of refrigerated cabinets and freezers face the opposite phenomenon when the units simply do not want to work, although there seems to be no damage.

For example, the refrigerator seems to have started to work, the engine is noisy, but it takes a couple of minutes - and everything stops.

What should I do?

1. Check the mains voltage.
2. Inspect the outlet and contacts.
3. If everything is OK, inspect the relay and compressor.
4. The new model - check the electronic board.

Problems with refrigerators of popular models

Each firm that produces refrigeration equipment has its advantages and disadvantages.

Atlant

The refrigerator of the Atlant system is characterized by its reliability and durability. They serve for a long time, but they can also refuse to take breaks:

• All Atlantes usually have a problem because of the thermoregulator tube - it departs, and it is easy enough to put it in place.
• As for older models, they are sensitive to high indoor temperatures.

Biryusa

This simple and reliable refrigerator can start working continuously if it has:

• faults in the operation of the relay;
• thermostat faulty;
• the compressor is broken.

Important! The optimum temperature for "Biryusa" is 16-32 ° C.Disruptions in work occur both at higher and lower temperatures.

Nord

Aggregates of this brand work clearly and correctly, failures are rare. However, if such a refrigerator suddenly ceased to shutdown - look for a problem in the thermoregulator or starting relay.

How to care for a refrigerator?

The continuous operation of the refrigerator arises not only because of inattention or failure of individual components. Sometimes the unit can start to be capricious, because they are not well looked after:

• does not unfreeze on time;
• is thawed too aggressively;
• cause mechanical damage.

Important! The ice should not be on the walls! The refrigerator may stop taking breaks after the first such experiment. Look at the instructions - there it is for sure written how often it is necessary to defrost your unit.

Defreeze the refrigerator neatly and do not try to speed up the process - it will not lead to anything good, but you can do much harm.

Any technique requires a master's attention. Show it - and your refrigerator will serve you long and hard.
