Types of faults two-chamber refrigerator Atlant

The Atlant Refrigerator has earned the reputation of a reliable and durable assistant who has served his mistresses for decades. But, unfortunately, malfunctions of the two-chamber Atlant refrigerator sometimes have a place to be.

Minor damage

In the presence of a malfunction in a two-chamber refrigerator, Atlant with 2 compressors begins burn red light. On the types, causes and methods of correcting breakdowns you will learn from this article. All problems can be classified according to two criteria: which can be solved independently and requiring intervention.professional master. So, the first are:

• high noise and vibration;
• problems with cooling products;
• breakage of the indicator light;
• odor.

Consider each problem separately.

High noise and vibration

Weakening relay mounts may be one of the reasons causing this problem. Make sure that the thermal relay is located in the right place and fits tightly against the body of the device.

With increased vibration, attention should be paid to checking. compressor case hangers. If the suspensions are adjusted incorrectly, a loud noise and strong vibration of the device is fully justified. In order to repair the unit, tighten the bolts with the suspension springs to the desired level.

Problems with cooling products

With an increased or decreased amount of cold air in refrigerators, attention should be paid to the following:

• thermostat position;
• how tight the sealing system is on the refrigerator door;
• Does freon leak out of the system?

If the cause of the malfunction is a breakdown of the compressor motor, then when touched, the surface temperature will be less than 60-65 degrees - which means that a depressurization has occurred. Leakage of freon from the compressor is the main reason for the failure of the temperature.

Check out position appliance doors. If it is shifted or skewed, then the lack of temperature may well be due to this cause. Return the door to its original position and measure the temperature in the refrigerator again.

Break indicator light

The main cause of the malfunction is an indicator light bulb. To replace it, you must perform the following steps:

• disconnecting the refrigerator from the network;
• removing the ceiling and replacing the old lamp with a new one;
• fixing the ceiling to its original position.

After carrying out these manipulations, the indicator light should light up. If this does not happen, then the possible reason - electrical wiring failure in your unit.

In this case, you are recommended to resort to the help of the master.

Unpleasant smell

This problem is not a consequence of the failure of the unit. Most likely, it is caused misuse refrigerator and inadequate care of it. Timely defrost and wash your refrigerator, and the problem of unpleasant odor will certainly pass.

When you can not do without a master

One of the first signals your chiller gives in the event of a malfunction is a burning red light. It shows that a serious failure has occurred in the refrigerator, which requires the attention of an experienced master. Below are the main problems that may arise when the red indicator lights up:

• shortened cycle of the refrigeration unit;
• failures in the motor-compressor;
• rapid accumulation of snow "fur" on the back of the device;
• the body of the refrigerator is beating.

Of course, if you have certain knowledge in the field of electrical engineering, you can try to eliminate these defects yourself. Consider each case separately.

Shorter cycle of the refrigeration unit

It is possible that due to thermal relay faults or increased voltage in the motor circuit, the refrigerator starts to stop working immediately after switching on.To find out the cause of the fault and carry out repairs, you must perform a number of actions.

1. Measure the voltage in the electrical network.
2. If the voltage does not exceed the norm, it is necessary to remove the thermal relay and connect the electric motor directly.
3. If the refrigerator is functioning properly, you should change the broken relay to the working one.

Failure of the motor-compressor

In case your cooling unit is working without stopping, pay attention to the temperature in the room and the position of the thermostat knob. If the latter is in a standard condition and the temperature in the room does not exceed the norm, it is necessary to carry out a primary diagnosis of the unit.

1. If the thermostat knob is in the normal position, but at the same time the refrigerator is continuously working, it is possible that failure of the thermostat.
2. If occurred freon leak, there is no characteristic frost on the evaporator tubes. In this case, it is better to contact the repair shop, where they will determine the exact place of refrigerant leakage and make repairs.

The rapid accumulation of snow "fur" on the back of the device

The reasons for the occurrence of this fault are many:

• insufficient adherence of the door to the body of the refrigerator;
• increased temperature in the room;
• the situation when hot food is stored in the refrigerator;
• the refrigerator operates in the mode of low productivity.

The first thing that needs to be done in the event of a malfunction is to check that the seal is firmly attached to the body of the door and the refrigerator. If this is not the problem, your machine may not work at full capacity in a rather warm room. Change power to higher level and the problem must be solved.

The body of the refrigerator is beating current

If in contact with the case of the refrigerator you feel even a slight discharge of electric current, it means that the wires in your device are bare in contact with the body. A qualified master by measuring the insulation resistance of the wires will identify and insulate the location of the problem.
