Repair the freezer with your own hands, if it does not freeze, does not disconnect and at other malfunctions

• the door fits snugly (often the reason, that the unit freezes badly);
• in what position is the thermostat;
• defrost button not installed.

so, you checked all the moments, but the result has not changed, and the freezer is not frost, still. In this case, this fault may be caused:

• blockage in the cooling system;
• refrigerant leakage (freon);
• heater failure (only in devices, having the No Frost function, example, in the freezer Indesit No Frost, Stinol 106 q or Indesit SFR 167 NF);
• breakdown of the thermostat or control unit.

The freezer does not turn off

If you have a suspicion, that the freezer does not turn off, it is recommended to observe the operation of the device for some time. Normal, it must work in "one to two" mode, example, 10 min works - 20 minutes of rest. Also, time may increase, if the capacity of the unit is half empty, or the room temperature is very high. But, when your observations are confirmed, that the device does not think to turn off, or the camera has turned off after a long time, pay attention to the following points.

1. The best option for the temperature inside the freezer tank is considered to be from -18 to -19 ° C. At set higher values, the device will work without interruption. So, even if the room is hot, do not set the temperature too low on the controller. The device will be easier to maintain the microclimate in the chamber at a standard level, than to achieve inflated figures. Also follow, so that the refrigeration equipment does not stand close to the heaters.
2. Superfreeze mode may be set. Older models do not turn off automatically when this mode is turned on. Self-disconnection is available only to modern units.
3. Wear of seals on the door. Subsequently, at long operation of a freezer, the rubber seal on the door may crack, deform, stratify or rub. As a result, the door fits snugly, the internal capacity of the device is not cooled enough, due to the constant leakage of cold, the compressor runs non-stop and wears out quickly. Freezer Atlant will not leave you a chance to miss the wear of the gasket. If you see, burning red light, means the temperature in the chamber rises (possibly due to poor fit of the door). If the green light comes on - then, the temperature returned to normal. When detecting the wear of the seal and the fact, that the unit freezes badly, try to replace the rubber gasket as soon as possible. How to restore the sealant on their own, is told in this video.

The unit switches on and off immediately

This behavior of the device often occurs when the compressor breaks down. The motor turns on and off immediately, or run, makes strange noises. The compressor may fail due to component wear, example, if the unit is operating at maximum cooling at high ambient temperatures. Unfortunately, the compressor cannot be repaired. To repair the freezer, a complete replacement of the compressor motor will be required.

Example, replacement of the latter in the freezer equipment Indesit SFR 167 NF will cost you, at least, v 2500 rubles.

So, although the freezer does not differ in complexity of a design, special and expensive equipment is required to carry out high-quality repairs of the main components (vacuum pump, manometric collector, etc.). Therefore, you should not try to repair the freezer on your own in the event of serious problems. This fact is explained by the fact, that due to ignorance of some nuances you can do so, that repairing the unit after your intervention will cost you much more.

In which cases call a wizard

Without disconnection, the device can work even if there are problems in its various modules.

1. Faulty control module. Due to this defect, there is no signal to turn off the compressor motor. You can fix the situation by replacing the board or reflashing it.
2. There was a blockage in the system (usually, due to thickened engine oil). If so, then the compressor is not able to expel the refrigerant through the mains. To remove the blockage will have to clean the system well, then you will need refueling with freon.
3. Evaporator sensor or broken thermostat failed. When these elements break, the control unit does not receive a signal about the temperature reached in the chamber and therefore can not turn off the compressor. When the thermostat breaks, example, in the freezer Indesit SFR, he will "freeze" very much, despite your attempts to set the right temperature.
4. There was a leak of refrigerant. This is one of the reasons, why the unit does not freeze, and this is often due to mechanical damage to the trumpet tubes, example, if you tried to push the ice, when thawing, something sharp. When the freon leaks, the cooling will stop, and the compressor will continue to run without stopping, since the temperature sensor will not provide information to the control board about it, that the set temperature is reached. Everything, what you can do in this situation, so it is to de-energize the equipment, free the unit from the products and call a wizard.
