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.

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. 3. ANALYSIS OF TROUBLES AND TROUBLESHOOTING a. Poor Refrigerating Effect The “poor refrigerating effect “refers to when the refrigerator operates normally, but does not cool to the temperature indicated by the thermostat.
Page 19
3) There is air left in the refrigerating system Analysis of Trouble Residual air in the refrigerating system will reduce its refrigerating efficiency. Major effects are an increase in temperature of the segment from the compressor outlet to the condenser inlet and an increase in gas suction and exhaust pressures. However, the gas exhaust pressure will not exceed its rated value.
Page 20
6) Refrigerating oil in evaporator tubing Analysis of Trouble During the refrigerating cycles, small amounts of refrigerating oil may remain in the evaporator tubing. However, if there is considerable refrigerating oil left in the evaporator after an extended period of operation, the heat conduction effect will be severely affected. The result is poor refrigerating effect.
Page 21
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. After leak points have been found, repair them or replace them with new parts according to specific circumstances.
Page 22
Remedy Dismantle the system. Remove the dry filter and purge the tubing with nitrogen. Next, install a new filter. Then evacuate it and fill with refrigerant. 4) Clogged filter Analysis of Trouble The complete clogging of the filter rarely occurs. Oftentimes, there is an accumulation of paste-like matter formed from dust on the filter.
Page 23
Stoppage due to excessively high gas discharge pressure 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”...
Page 24
Overload of electric motor 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 25
Check the compressor accessories, including its thermal protector and relay. In case the thermal protector is damaged, the compressor cannot be powered on. If the relay is out of order, the motor will not run and hum sound can be heard from it after the compressor is turned on.

megameter. 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 27
i) Control system is probably out of order 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 28
Analysis of Trouble When the heat-insulation layer inside the case body deteriorates or the door seal does not closely touch the doorframe, the temperature in the refrigerator will rise and makes the compressor run continuously. Remedy Check the heat-insulation layer for damaged parts. Repair it if damaged to improve its heat-insulation property.

Stronger vibration and loader noise 1. Refrigerator placed improperly a. Uneven ground 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.
