THE REFRIGERATOR DOES NOT TURN OFF - the reason why the refrigerator compressor does not turn off for a long time (runs without stopping), what to do

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Are you worried that the refrigerator does not turn off and has been running without stopping for a long time? F.ua will figure out with you why the refrigerator does not turn off and whether it is possible to solve this problem without the services of a wizard.

The refrigerator does not turn off: 4 reasons

On average, the refrigeration unit works cyclically for 15-20 minutes: it picks up the required temperature and then turns off. Often its uninterrupted operation is due to improper operation, not breakdown. The causes of the malfunction can be easily eliminated by yourself:

  • check the position of the thermostat in the chamber. Perhaps one of the household members changed the temperature regime and it is set at the maximum level;
  • check the unit settings. If the super freeze mode is on, the device will work without turning off;
  • make sure the refrigerator door is securely closed and the seal is not damaged. To prevent warm air from entering the chamber, replace the rubber if necessary;
  • defrost the refrigerator and wash the chambers from accumulated dirt, frost or ice. This will reduce the load on the compressor.

If, as before, after defrosting the refrigerator does not turn off, you cannot do without a wizard.

The refrigerator works without shutting down, but does not cool the food:

  • the thermostat has broken down, which controls the on / off of the compressor and controls the temperature in the chambers. It includes a gas tube that interrupts the supply of current to the motor. If the temperature regulator is broken, then the freezer does not freeze, and there is no cold in the cooling chamber. This part cannot be repaired. Contact experienced craftsmen to replace it;
  • Freon leakage occurs due to microcracks or bending of the tubes. Typical signs of a breakdown are traces of lubricating oil in the refrigerator, which enters the chamber from the motor engine;
  • the compressor does not turn off for two reasons:
    • refrigerant leakage, because the compressor is idling (it has nothing to pump),
    • the refrigerant piping system is clogged.

Entrust the diagnostics of malfunctions and repairs to competent specialists, for example, the Support.ua team.
