The two-compartment refrigerator works properly, but the "Warning" light on the panel lights up? It is red and can be marked with an exclamation mark.
Why is this happening? There are several reasons, but the main one: the temperature in the refrigerating compartment is too high. If the icon on the panel burns for a long time, it can lead to defrosting and spoilage of products.
Why the indicator lights red
If you notice that the lamp "Atlant "Minsk" or "Biryusa" is flashing or the lamp is on, wait a few minutes. Sometimes this happens after loading the camera. Frequent opening of the door, warm foods destabilize the temperature in the compartment, so the icon lights up. Within 15-20 minutes it should go out.
What if the indicator does not go out? Try rebooting the system. Unplug the refrigerator from the mains for 10-15 minutes. Then connect.
The camera door is not closed properly
Look, maybe some kind of pan prevents normal closing. If the dishes are in order, check the rubber seal:
- It could become clogged, then it must be cleaned with a sponge with a soapy solution.
- Rubber leaky, deformed, there were cracks. Warm air enters the chamber, causing condensation on the walls and the refrigerator does not freeze properly. Motor-compressor, trying to restore the temperature difference, can fail.
Replace the sealer with your own hands. To do this, remove the old one and buy a new item. Fix it to the grooves with glue, mounting foam or screws.
In the "Atlant" refrigerator, the "Warning" sign may glow after defrosting. It takes 6-11 hours for the temperature to recover.
Malfunction of thermostat
Check the thermostat. In the refrigeration department, the temperature should be + 5-6 ° C (3 cents), for the freezer: -19-17 ° C (third-fourth mode).
If you want, you can replace the part with your own hands. If the freezer is on top and the refrigerator is from the bottom, the part is located inside the unit (Indesit, Atlant, Ariston).
- Remove the decorative cover by unscrewing one bolt.
- Behind it is a thermostat.
- Unscrew it from the evaporator and the panel. You can install the new item in reverse order.
Leak of a gas-freon
Such a malfunction also provokes a temperature increase, and a red light on the button lights up.
Freon is a cooling gas that circulates along the contour. Causes of leakage:
- Microcracks in the contour.
- Bending in the system where the gas moves.
- Mechanical damage.
- Corrosion.
To deal with the problem, it is better to call the master. Not only will he find and fix the problem (special tools are needed for this), but he will also refill the system with freon.
Decompression of the motor
The motor does not create sufficient pressure to pump the cold. This could be served by:
- Wear of the compressor.
- Clogged capillary.
- Invalid connection.
- Deformation of the motor valves.
You need to find a breakdown or replace the motor.
Other light flashes
Sometimes users complain about the glow (blinking) of other indicators:
- Yellow. Indicates the frozen mode is on. It's okay if you set the mode yourself. But if the light bulb lit for no reason - this is an excuse to alert and turn to the master.
- Green. Means the work of the freezer. Is the bulb off? So, the camera does not work or the electricity is turned off.
- The indicators do not light on the panel.Perhaps this is a power failure. A serious malfunction is considered a malfunction of the control board. For diagnosis, it is better to call a specialist.
If you notice that the indication on the panel is flashing lights up, it is an occasion to contact the service center.
