Why does not the refrigerator freeze?

In this article we will talk about the most commonencountered malfunctions, as a result of which the refrigerator does not freeze well, or does not freeze at all. And we will start, as usual, with the most common reason, because of which we do not freeze more than 50% of refrigerators that have such a malfunction.

Do not freeze the refrigerator: the reasons

Most often in cases where the refrigerator is notthe cause is the depressurization of the system, more precisely, the breach of the hermeticity of its circuits. In this situation, the refrigerator works, but it does not freeze or freeze very badly. And, as a rule, the owners of the refrigerator themselves are to blame for this. Everyone knows that almost any refrigerator needs periodic defrosting. It is necessary to regularly turn off the refrigerator and clean it from the hardened ice, especially in the freezer. The defrosting procedure is quite long and often takes a good half of the day. Of course, not everyone wants to spend so much time on defrosting the refrigerator and many try to speed up this process using various tools - knives, forks, small spatulas, etc. In some models of refrigerators for cleaning, special plastic spatulas are applied, which do not damage the surface, but people often resort to the help of knives. Any manufacturer of refrigerators and a repairman will tell you - you can not do this in any way, but we neglect their advice, and then we wonder why the refrigerator does not freeze. But the matter is simple: sharp objects easily damage the inner surface of the freezer. A small enough hole - and through it all the gas will evaporate from the refrigerator. In addition, moisture can enter this hole, as a result of which condensation will start in the cooling system, which leads to difficulty of operation and even to failure of the freezing system.

The refrigerator does not freeze: what to do

In case the refrigerator does not freeze, a number ofoperations that must be performed by specialists. First of all, you need to clean the entire system with a hydraulic tool, and then purge or rinse the capillary tube and replace the dehydrating filter. If the system does not pressurize the motor-compressor, the latter must be replaced. However, in order to determine this, we need special instruments for measuring the voltage and current. Also, the cause of the compressor failure can be its long operation without stopping, which happens due to the fact that the output of the compressor is too high, but it can not, and as a result, it works without stopping. In this case, the power should be lowered. A refrigerator can be repaired on its own, only when you have the necessary qualifications. If there is no qualification or it is not enough, it would be most reasonable to turn to professionals.
