The upper chamber of the refrigerator does not work

If the top chamber of the refrigerator does not work, the cause may be a serious breakdown or simple inattention. Let's consider all variants, we will compare breakages of different marks and we will paint, as with them to understand.

The upper chamber does not work in the refrigerator "Samsung"

If one of the Samsung refrigerator chambers has stopped working, there are several reasons. To understand that a malfunction has occurred, it is possible by external signs: for example, you open the compartment door, and the light does not light or there is no cold.

Sometimes self-diagnosis displays a fault code on the display of the equipment. The user has to find out the code value in order to find the faulty element.

The reasons for the poor operation of the upper chamber in refrigeration equipment (CW) "Samsung

1. Refrigerant leaks. This happens in systems with "Know Frost" with mechanical damage to the camera. If, for a quick defrost of the refrigerator, you chipped the ice off with a foreign object, this could lead to a wall puncture and leakage of the refrigerant gas. Have to call the master to eliminate leaks and refueling.
2. The drainage tube hammered. The tube gets debris, small crumbs, which block the circulation of freon. As a result, the camera can not cool, and the motor can overheat. To restore normal operation, clean the drain system.
3. Blockage of the filter-drier leads to an increase in the temperature in the chamber, which even the temperature adjustment does not help. The filter is replaced, the capillary tube is cleaned.
4. The fan does not work. In the "No Frost" system, the fan is responsible for the distribution of cold air in the chamber. If the evaporator is faulty, the fan blades may be frozen, so the cooling system does not work. Perform a full defrost of the refrigerator - at least 10 hours.

We found out the main reasons why the upper chamber of the refrigerator does not work. There are also more serious breakages, the master can determine and correct which: malfunction of the temperature regulator, starting relay, breakdown of the motor-compressor. The most serious problem is the burned control module. Replacement and flashing the module is expensive and impossible without special knowledge and equipment.

Problems with the operation of the refrigerator "Indesit"

Despite the high technical characteristics, the repair of the refrigerator "Indesit" is not uncommon. A common cause of failure, to which users complain, is that the upper CW camera does not work.

What happened:

1. A refrigerant leakage has occurred as a result of corrosion of the steel circuit. When the drainage system becomes clogged, there is nowhere to escape the moisture due to a defrost, so the water drops fall on the contour. If the contour is damaged, Freon exit starts. Call a master who eliminates the cause of the leak, and refuel the equipment with freon.
2. The motor-compressor is faulty. It can be started for a short time, and then shut down again, or not work at all. Replace the motor to normalize the camera.
3. The temperature regulator and the air sensor broke. In this case, the control module does not receive a signal about the temperature in the chamber, so it does not start the cooling system.

There are also more simple problems: check the closing density of the compartment door. When the door closes unsealed, warm air penetrates into the chamber. Trying to compensate for the increase in temperature, the system actively pushes cold, which leads to the formation of a snow coat. As a result, the operation of the fan can be blocked. Therefore, check the serviceability of the door and its rubber seal.

Faults in the refrigerator "Stinol"

For refrigerators "Stinol as well as for other brands, typical faults are typical. Users of two-compressor models face such a breakdown: there is no cold in the upper chamber, the motor does not start, but the light is on. Perhaps one of the compressors is hot, while the other one does not heat up.

What is the cause of the problem:

1. Problems with the operation of the thermostat or air sensor. At the same time the motor turns on as usual, but its "rest" is delayed for a long time. The electronic module does not receive a signal from the sensors, so the camera does not cool.
2. The starting relay has failed. Probably, it has jammed in one position, therefore the motor does not start. Diagnosis and replacement of the defective part is carried out.
3. Problems with the operation of the fan. You noticed that the fan is blocked by frost, the refrigerator is defrosted. But after defrosting the part did not start working. Have to check and replace the fan motor.

As in previous cases, the cause of the breakdown could be a motor-compressor or a refrigerant leak. Complete diagnostics of refrigeration equipment is carried out.

The upper chamber does not work in the refrigerator "Bosch"

When operating the Bosch equipment, you may encounter different malfunctions.

With some of them you can do it yourself:

1. Depressurization of the door. A worn or dirty rubber sealant can not provide a quality door closure. Therefore, such a sealant is either replaced or cleaned and its shape restored.
2. Fan operation. Do you have a refrigerator with No Frost? Then the fan failure will lead to an increase in the temperature in the chamber. To correct the situation, defrosting the equipment for at least 10 hours will help.

Causes that require repair (preferably, a professional master intervention):

1. Refrigerant leaks.
2. Breakage of the starting relay or thermostat.
3. Compressor failure.

Problems in the work of the refrigerator Hotpoint Ariston

The main cause of breakage of "Ariston" refrigerators is the wear of the motor-compressor. In this case, the refrigerator may not work at all.

But if the lower compartment is working properly, and the upper one is not, then you should check:

1. The density of closing the compartment door.
2. Evaporator heater. This is typical for single-compressor XO. One failure entails another - when the heater goes down, the evaporator gets snowed. As a result, the fan can not rotate and move cold air into the chamber.
3. Camera thermostat. Maybe you accidentally set it to a high value? If everything is in order, then the temperature regulator is defective and needs a replacement.

If the refrigerant leaks, the camera will also not work properly. It is possible to determine the location of the leak independently if a lot of snow and ice accumulated in one place. Sometimes freon flows without any external signs. A specialist will help you find and fix the problem.

What can I do before the wizard arrives:

• disconnect the equipment from the network;
• perform defrosting;
• check the correctness of the temperature setting;
• see if the refrigerator is installed correctly.

The accuracy of the failure is difficult to determine by yourself. Much depends on the particular design of the refrigerator, because each brand may have minor differences. We described typical problems for the Samsung, Indesit, Stinol, Bosch and Ariston techniques. Similar problems can be in the refrigerator Atlant, Siemens and other manufacturers. We hope that the information helps you to solve the problem sooner.
