TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIRS 1. NORMAL REFRIGERATOR FUNCTIONS A domestic refrigerator is comprised of an electric control system and a refrigerating system. Since both systems work together, it is difficult to tell whether the refrigerating system is in good working condition. If any part of the refrigerating system or electric control does not work properly;...

2. COMMON PROBLEMS OF A REFRIGERATOR AND THEIR SOLUTIONS Refrigerator problems are closely related to the quality of components, level of workmanship, and owner maintenance. The parameters generally used to determine the working conditions of a refrigerator include the temperature inside the refrigerator, the operating rate, electrical power consumption, noise level, and other functional indices.

i. Humming sounds from a fully enclosed aggregate unit indicate that the motor was not started properly. ii. Clattering sounds from the start relay indicate that the start contacts cannot be released normally. iii. Whistling sounds indicate the release of high-pressure gas from a crack in the pressure tube inside the compressor.

Do not use only one of the indicators from the checklist above to decipher the state of your refrigerating system. It is advisable to find out two or more abnormal phenomenon, or conduct comprehensive troubleshooting because several kinds of troubles may share a common abnormality.
Page 21
Remedy According to the operating procedures, it is mandatory to turn the machine off. After several minutes, open the refrigerant charging tube and let the refrigerant escape from it, replace the dry filter, refill the refrigerant after evacuating, and then seal the charging port. 3) There is air left in the refrigerating system Analysis of Trouble Residual air in the refrigerating system will reduce its refrigerating efficiency.

process. Never strike the frost layer with any iron tools or wooden stick in order not to damage the evaporator tubing. 6) Refrigerating oil in evaporator tubing Analysis of Trouble During the refrigerating cycles, small amounts of refrigerating oil may remain in the evaporator tubing.

iii. The gas suction pressure increases iv. The discharge pressure decreases v. The temperature of the gas discharge tube drops vi. There is no sound of gas eruption from the liquid in the evaporator, and vii. No gas gushes out of the process tube when cut after shutdown Remedy Check the whole machine, particularly those locations which are liable to leak.

However, when you heat the clogged area with a hot towel, there is no reaction. After rejecting the possibility of ice clogging, it can be concluded that the clogging is due to dirt. Remedy Dismantle the system. Remove the dry filter and purge the tubing with nitrogen. Next, install a new filter.
Page 25
1) High gas discharge pressure due to excess refrigerant Analysis of Trouble Loose frosting and poor refrigerating effect may occur if excessive refrigerant has been charged into the system. Excess refrigerant will occupy additional space in the evaporator. This will reduce its heat dissipating area, and the phenomenon of “liquid striking” may occur.
Page 26
Analysis of Trouble Probably, too many things have been put into the refrigerator, and hence the thermal load exceeds its refrigerating capacity; or in case the power supply voltage drops considerably, the current flowing through the motor will increase drastically making the thermal protector actuate and the fuse blown, and hence the motor stops running.
Page 27
is out of order, the motor will not run and hum sound can be heard from it after the compressor is turned on. In that case, shut it down immediately, otherwise, the motor windings will be burned out in case this condition lasts longer. iii) Check the relay contacts and plugs to see if they are perfect and work reliably.

meter. If the insulation resistance is lower than 2 MΩ, this means that the insulation layer has a breakdown already. If the motor is damaged, repair or replaced it with a new one. ii) Control relay is faulty Analysis of Trouble Overheating, burns or wearing of control relay contacts will generally occur if this is true.
Page 29
ii) The control system works normally but there are problems in the refrigerating system or other parts a) Temperature is set improperly i) The temperature control knob is set to the “coldest” position. This position is to be used for fast freezing or continuous running, its temperature for power off is too low, therefore, the compressor will not stop and the temperature in the refrigerator becomes lower and lower.
Page 30
Remedy Check the heat-insulation layer for damaged parts. Repair it if damaged to improve its heat-insulation property. If the door has deformed or the door seal is not tightly sealed against the case body, repair them. e) Too much food is placed in the refrigerator, or is placed too densely, resulting in poor ventilation or poor conditions for temperature sensing hence no stoppage of the compressor.

Uneven ground will cause the refrigerator to be placed unsteadily, causing stronger vibration and noise during its operation. b. Leveling screws not properly adjusted If the leveling screws on refrigerator legs have not been adjusted properly, vibration and noise will still occur even if the refrigerator has been placed on a level ground. 2.
