The most important thing in the kitchen for any housewife is certainly a refrigerator. It contains stocks of the material that forms the husband's love for his wife and carefully maintains this feeling throughout the entire married life. It is not surprising that with any slightest breakdown, the wife in panic: "We broke down the refrigerator!".

And what should I do? Call the master, they say in response to almost all the representatives of the stronger sex. The article gives some detailed advice on how this problem can be solved by yourself.

Faults and malfunctions of the refrigerator are both mechanical (breakage of the housing, broken gaskets, cooling tubes lost tightness and so on), and electric: the power relay broke, the fan does not work, it burned out fuse.

If you can still compete with the first and win the winner yourself, then the electric part of the refrigerator is not better joke and invite a qualified master to diagnose and start making your refrigerator working as a clock.

The refrigerator began to freeze cold

The first thing that comes to mind is not a very good and tightly closed door. It can be a door gasket that has torn or rubbed. We look, if necessary, replace the new one and check it. If it does not help, remove the door panel and tighten the diagonal door rods, adjusting the tight closes and eliminating the skewing of the door. If these actions do not help, we try to adjust the thermostat.

In the latest models of refrigerators with the presence of dry freezing function, the cause may be a faulty fan, a poorly working heater or a broken timer. The question is solved only by replacing these parts.

With further defrosting of the refrigerator, we come to the conclusion that there may be a leak of freon from the compressor or a stopped motor. In this case, we call a qualified specialist to repair refrigerators from the workshop.

Continuing the theme: the refrigerator does not freeze: what to do?

Puddle under the fridge and unpleasant odor

Almost always this happens when the refrigerating tube is clogged, which can be cleaned by yourself. Be sure to rinse it with a solution of potassium permanganate and regularly defrost the refrigerator according to the operating instructions.

But the leakage also happens when the compressor is malfunctioning with the thermostat. Then only the master will do the repair of these devices.

The refrigerator is very cold

If only you accidentally turned on the snowflake button and forgot about it, get ready for what is not the time-out button of intensive freezing can lead you to buying a new refrigerator through a week.

Strong frost can be caused by a leak of freon or clogging of capillaries leading it. In this case, only a repair specialist will help when the refrigerator breaks down.

Strong operating noise

A very loud rumble, rare clicks or a constant crack at the work of the refrigerator should immediately alert you and make you call the repair shop urgently. Only the masters with the necessary equipment will be able to correctly diagnose the failure in this case.

The motor does not turn off

The motor works, without ceasing, and in the freezer because of the ice there is no place to put food. In everything, either the evaporator sensor or the thermostat is to blame. If you decide to do the repair yourself, just replace the sensor and the temperature controller with a new one.

First the sensor, then check the work - if it does not help, change the thermostat.

Read the instruction manual and strictly follow its rules, so your refrigerator will last a long time!
