Why the refrigerator suddenly stopped working

At present, it is difficult to imagine our life without household appliances. If suddenly stopped work refrigerator, do without it will not work. Any technical device, regardless of brand, model or cost, can fail. In order to properly respond to the next failure of the refrigerator, you should know the reasons for which it may arise. It should also be remembered that in many cases the refrigerator stops working because of the owner’s violation of operating rules. At the same time, there are cases when the refrigerator does not work as a result of the use of low-quality parts by the manufacturer.

First, you need to understand whether power is supplied to the device.With certain technical skills, this kind of work can be done independently. For this you need:

  1. Open the door of the fridge or freezer and check if the sweetheart inside is lit. If yes, then the cable is not damaged, the power supply to the refrigerator enters.
  2. In case the lamp does not light up, check the plug and the socket itself. Light bulb in the fridge
  3. Check the condition of the cables that provide the thermostat and the relay. Diagnosis is performed using a special tester.

In most cases, it is possible to detect the malfunction and eliminate it on its own. However, there are more serious breakdowns that can only be dealt with by skilled craftsmen.

Compressor failure

The compressor is considered the main part of modern devices of any brand, including Stinol or Samsung. It does not matter if this is a two-chamber refrigerator or a single-chamber refrigerator. With the help of the compressor, both the refrigerating and the freezing chambers function. In the vast majority of devices, this part is not subject to disassembly. If the compressor stops working due to a breakdown, it must be replaced.

 Compressor in the refrigerator

Causes of compressor failure may be completely different. This can happen if the Indesit refrigerator has been running continuously for quite a long time. In this case, he could just burn out. Such a situation may arise if very hot dishes are placed in the chamber. The compressor will work without stopping as a result of controlling the thermostat until the set temperature is established in the chamber. However, before this happens, the compressor can fail. There are also reasons explaining why the compressor does not work: the formation of a large layer of ice in the chamber, an insufficient pressure of freon in the circuit.

Thermostat breaker

This device is designed to maintain a certain temperature in the chambers by automatically turning on and off the compressor motor. To understand that he has failed is quite simple.

If the compressor is in working condition, and the products are not frozen, due to the fact that the upper chamber is not working, it means that the thermostat ceased to function.

Only a specialist is able to qualitatively replace it, but you can purchase the part yourself.It is necessary to take into account the type and brand of the unit.

The refrigerator does not freeze or badly freezes

The reason that the refrigerator does not work properly may not be a well-closed door of one of the chambers. This situation may arise as a result of not very tight rubber contact with the body. The reasons for the deformation of the seal can be different, but it basically lets air through because of its deterioration. In this case, it should be replaced.

 The refrigerator door does not close

Some users do not consider it necessary to defrost the device as indicated in the instruction manual. If during defrosting you try to break off pieces of ice from the walls, then such actions lead to the fact that the upper chamber of the refrigerator does not work. Freon leakage may occur due to damage to the inner skin of the case.

The skewed door also contributes to the penetration of air into the chambers, which is why the device stops working normally. You can correct the situation by adjusting it. Directly below the door panel are diagonal rods.

The absence of a normal temperature inside the refrigeration unit can damage the products stored in it.Therefore, after fixing the device, it is recommended to wash it thoroughly with the help of special agents that destroy unpleasant odors. After that, let it dry well, after opening the door.

 Unpleasant smell in the refrigerator

Moisture appeared in the fridge

Drops of liquid may appear on the walls of the chambers, a puddle may appear below. You should inspect the joints of the drainage pipes. It is possible that one of them moved to the side. You can try to put the phone in place, and then the refrigerator will function normally.

Water can flow down, due to the fact that the tank for the flow of fluid overflowed or changed its position, the drain tube is clogged, which can be cleaned with an ordinary fishing line.

 Pipe to drain the liquid in the refrigerator

Capillary tube clogging may occur.

This tube plays an important role in the functioning of the refrigeration unit, since through it the freon enters the cooling circuit. The clogging of this item is fraught with stopping the operation of the device. It is not recommended to start cleaning it yourself, since such an action may damage the pipeline.Masters perform the procedure using a special hydraulic tool.

It should be remembered that the start of the independent repair of the refrigerator should be only when it was possible to visually determine the cause of the breakdown.

If this did not work out, you need to contact the specialists.

Independent action may lead to further damage. In this case, the cost of repairs will increase significantly.
