How to repair a Nord refrigerator with your own hands? Recommendations - Setafi

Breakdowns of the Nord refrigerator are usually associated with a thermostat, freon leakage, and power failure. There may be more serious problems, such as engine malfunction. In some cases, it is realistic to repair the Nord refrigerator with your own hands. How to do this is described in the article.

Thermostat repair

One of the common faults is related to the thermostat. You can verify the malfunction of this particular unit, and not the engine or other element, by the following signs:

• the refrigerator stopped turning off during operation;
• the unit does not turn on at all;
• the motor turns on, but not always, quite rarely.

Even if it later turns out that the motor or relay has broken down, it is necessary to start diagnostics and repairs from the thermostat. To get to this node, you need to understand how to remove the top cover of the Nord refrigerator. They operate like this:

1. Remove all shelves from all chambers.
2. Clean the walls (if necessary).

3. If there are plastic plugs on the top cover, remove them with a knife or a simple screwdriver.
4. There are usually metal bolts under the plugs - they are removed with a Phillips screwdriver of the corresponding section.
5. Remove the protective seals (they are usually fixed with latches).
6. Remove the lid by hand. At the same time, there is even one mount left, it must be carefully removed so as not to spoil the plastic panel.

The described method allows you to understand how to disassemble the Nord refrigerator or other models. After that, you need to see a green wire with a yellow stripe (maybe vice versa - the wire is yellow, and the stripe is green). He is taken aside. All other wires close to each other to connect the motor without a thermostat.

If the compressor starts to work, then the problem is with the thermostat. As a rule, the device is not repaired, but simply replaced with a new one. It is not so expensive, but the refrigerator will last a long time.

freon leak

This is a rather serious breakdown, which has a number of signs:

• the freezer gives too much cold;
• it is too warm in the refrigerator compartment;
• there is no frost both in the refrigerator and in the freezer;
• condensate, that is, the grate behind the unit, not warm, but cold;
• ice has frozen on the back surface of the refrigerator compartment;
• the device has stopped turning off.

You can diagnose a leak like this:

1. Completely defrost the refrigerator, wait until the ice has completely melted.
2. Turn on for 1.5-2 hours.
3. Place an outdoor thermometer in the chamber and hold for an hour.
4. If the temperature is above +6, this is definitely a freon leak.

For repair, it is necessary to install a weeping evaporator or clean the capillaries. It is impossible to do this on your own - you will have to call the master.

Other types of faults

The following problems are also often observed:

1. The lamp does not work - replace it, make sure that power is supplied.
2. Water has accumulated at the bottom - a blockage in the drainage hole, it needs to be cleaned.
3. The unit makes a loud noise, rattles - check the integrity of the legs and make sure that the compressor is working properly.
4. The presence of snow build-up - make sure that the door closes tightly enough.

Thus, the Nord refrigerator may have the same breakdowns as other models. In many cases, diagnostics and repairs can be carried out independently. But if there is no certainty, you should definitely call the master.
