Refrigerator No Frost - not requiring defrosting?
Many brands - Indesit, Bosch, Samsung, LG - have implemented the Nou Frost system, which literally translates “without frost.”Do these refrigerators defrost? In the shops we are convinced that no. In fact, equipment needs to be defrosted at least once a year.
Principle of operation. The chambers are fitted with fans that blow the evaporator and evenly distribute the cold air through the chamber. The accumulated moisture does not settle on the evaporator, but flows into a special section, from which it is then removed to the tank and evaporates.
Sometimes snow or ice can be seen on the walls or the evaporator. This happens if you often open the door for a long time to keep it open. Also, when the seal is defective, when the warm air constantly penetrates into the chamber. The temperature in the compartment rises, moisture settles on the walls, and then freezes.
How often and how long does a two-chamber refrigerator need to be defrosted? Once a year for 12-24 hours.
Need to wash the fridge and urgently download the products? How many hours to stand? At least 1 hour, otherwise a large temperature difference will provoke an enhanced work of the motor, which will lead to its wear. Exposure to the minimum term contributes to the resumption of pressure and the gradual activation of the system.
