Do-it-yourself whirlpool arc 4190 refrigerator repair

The Whirlpool ARC 8140 ix refrigerator is in operation (one compressor with the No Frost system). The first breakdown was in the spring of 2016, it did not cool well in the refrigerator, the freezer did not freeze. The unit was produced in 2008, in operation since 2009. The foreman was called. The master turned out to be unscrupulous, since after the repair the c-c worked for 5 months and broke down again. The repair consisted of replacing some of the components in the module and replacing the fan. Before the new breakdown, the fan made a lot of noise, the sound was “unhealthy”, now it somehow cools the cold room. camera, the freezer temperature is above zero and the dotted line flashes on the display -. They gave him a day to rest, it did not help. The temperature also flashes, and now it gives out the number 12 instead of the dotted line, if you press ok, the dotted line flashes again. Please clarify the situation, can it be repaired?

The control module is probably out of order, and a freon leak in the system is also possible. You can also check the compressor by turning it on directly to 220 volts, if it turns on, then either a freon leak or a control module.

Refrigerator Whirlpool blf 8121 w. After defrosting, I turned it on, the red alarm light came on. It works, but does not freeze. What kind of accident could it be? The sound became stronger than usual.

The alarm indicator means high temperature in one of the chambers. If during defrosting you "helped" him to defrost and cleaned off the snow and ice, then there was a leak of freon from the system and the unit will not work without repair. If the snow has not been removed, then the red indicator means that until the unit has reached the required temperature and it is necessary to wait.

Whirlpool arc 8120 with full know frost system. A few months ago I bought it in a non-working condition, it doesn't matter, I ordered a module, and the device works, but then a small problem arose, if you put any fruit or vegetable in the fruit compartment, that is, in a basket, then it completely freezes the fruit. I tried to swap the terminals on the fan, to no avail. For some reason, air does not come from small holes located on the back wall of each compartment (shelf), but from the lowest one with a filter element, which is located behind the basket for vegetables (fruits). I think that the air should circulate in the reverse order, that is, it should enter the refrigerator compartment through small holes, and leave through the filter. Please help me to solve the problem.

Your model does not have a control board, and the cold is controlled by thermostats in the refrigerator and freezer. The fact that your food is freezing cold. the camera may be due to a faulty thermostat.

The problem with the Whirlpool BLF 9121 refrigerator (two-chamber with electronic control and one motor-compressor). Cold temperature the chamber is clearly below zero (the water in the saucer on the middle shelf has turned into ice), but it should be + 3-5 degrees, not higher.

Most likely, the cold water temperature sensor is out of order. Its diagnostics is necessary, and, if necessary, replacement of the sensor with a new one.

Refrigerator Whirlpool arc 8140, two-chamber, 1-compressor. Know frost. He didn’t disconnect. The evaporator was covered with ice. Auto defrost does not work. The fan is running, driving cold air only into the freezer. In the hall. the camera is not receiving. Forcibly thawed everything. The fan works, drives cold air only into the freezer, and no heat enters the refrigerator there. The air intake channels are clean. How can this be?

In these models, there is only a No Frost freezer, and in the refrigeration there is a drip defrosting system (crying evaporator), so the fan should not drive cold air from the evaporator into the cold. branch. In your case, the reason is most likely in the defrost solenoid valve. All single-compressor models with independent temperature control in the chambers are equipped with it. It switches the mode
cooling from “freezer only” to “freezer and refrigerator” and vice versa.Your valve is stuck in the “freezer only” cooling mode, so it's cold. the chamber does not cool (it is warm in it), but the freezer freezes (ice has formed). Plus, if your evaporator defrost in the freezer does not turn on at all, then it may also be faulty.

Whirlpool ARC 4020 refrigerator stopped freezing. He began to heat everything inside. First, the freezer boiled, then the whole cold inside. What is the reason for the breakdown, and is repair possible and at what price will it result?

Most likely, the fault must be looked for in the automatic defrost system.

The Whirlpool arc 4190 refrigerator is in operation. How to check the defroster circuit. How to find the moment of turning on the heating element to make sure that there are 220 volts on it. Is there a self-test mode for the defrost system, if there is, how to get to it. What should be the resistance of the heating element.

Defrost heater resistance (TEN) from 100 to 200 Ohm. Defrost can be determined by the contacts of the defrost timer, when they are closed - the defrost has started.

Bicameral refrigerator whirlpool arc8140ix. It works, but when the compressor turns off and you open the door to the hall. cameras, light flashes, clicks are heard, and on the display digital values ​​disappear or various icons pop up, sound signals can be heard or the door is closed, but on the display it is open, etc. There is a desire to repair it. What could it be? Is repair possible?

Most likely, the matter is in damage to the loop going to the display. When the door is opened, the loop contacts come off.

The Whirlpool ARC 4178 refrigerator is in operation. In the refrigerator compartment +20 the freezer compartment works normally. Please tell me about possible malfunctions.

If the cold does not work. chamber, then check the freezer. If the fan does not work in it, then the reason may be as follows: The fan motor is broken; The evaporator defrost system (defrost timer or evaporator heater) has failed. In this case, there should be a lot of snow and ice in the freezer.

Refrigerator blf 8121 w. In the pestilence. The camera began to freeze strongly on top of the door and inside, we remove the snow three times a day, although we set it to the lowest temperature.

Most likely, the evaporator defrost system is out of order. A breakdown may be in the defrost sensor or the evaporator heater (heating element not defrost).

Please tell me how to turn off the sound on your own on the Whirlpool refrigerator (built-in, with a touch panel). The fact is that the temperature sensor has broken, the e (error) icon is on on one (upper) chamber. Until it is replaced, can you make it so that it does not squeak?

You can turn off the sound (malfunction indicator) only by turning off the refrigerator. Otherwise, there is no way to turn off this soundtrack.

Two-compartment Whirlpool ARC 8140 1 ix electronically controlled, freezer downstairs. Water began to appear under the freezer door, and the vents in the lower part of the freezer were completely overgrown with ice. A loose seal was detected, but the container above the compressor is still completely dry, it looks like the drainage system is clogged? Where is it in my model?

The drainage system is on the back of your freezer. It is necessary to remove the plastic cover and clean the drainage hole. The reason may not be drainage, but a breakdown in the evaporator defrost system (defrost sensor or evaporator heater).

Whirlpool arc 4198 ix (no frost, single compressor): The fan in the freezer has failed. After replacing it, it turned out that the fan was running there without interruption. Turning off the unit with the button on the control panel, and leaving it connected to the mains, the fan still works. What could be the reason? Cooling fan the camera turns on / off stably depending on the set and actual temperature.

In the freezer compartment, the defrost sensor or the evaporator sensor may be damaged. It is also necessary to check the connection of the fan.

In the refrigerator Whirlpool ARC 8140 1 ix (with Know Frost, one compressor and electronic control). The freezer stopped freezing, the temperature in it is like in the refrigerator. The unit was defrosted, turned on, everything remained the same: it does not freeze. Please, tell me, what could be the reason?

In your case, there may be a mass of malfunctions, for example: Freon leakage from the system; Damage to the freezer temperature sensor; Failure of the control module; Clogged capillary system.

I looked behind the Whirlpool refrigerator - everything is normal, the tubes do not rub against the metal part, the compressor is fixed normally. The rattle (similar to the rubbing of foam on glass) is heard precisely from the frost. cameras. It is also accompanied by a sound similar to the injection of something under pressure. I suspect that the coolant. I think that the liquid is chasing through the tubes, maybe there is a blockage in some place or something else. The rattle (squeak) is heard not immediately from the start of the compressor, but after a while (about half a minute or a minute). Inside the thermostat is in the middle position, the temperature in the room is 20 degrees. I heard that you need to wait a week, work is normalizing, but it's hard to believe, and the sound is annoying. The compressor itself is very quiet, not even audible.

If you hear a sound like a splash, this is normal. This sound is made by freon when boiling. There can be no blockages, otherwise you will find a large accumulation of snow in the freezer.

The Whirlpool refrigerator has ceased to cool, there are occasional clicks and a quiet hum at the back wall. What's broken?

The most likely cause is a malfunction of the compressor, less likely that the compressor start-up relay is out of order. Sometimes such work is associated with a blockage in the system, but this can only be determined after the unit system has been depressurized (it will be necessary to release the refrigerant and check if the filter drier and the capillary tube through which the refrigerant enters the evaporator is not clogged).

Water periodically flows from the freezer. What can it be and what to do?

The unit may be incorrectly aligned or the drain pipe is clogged. A master call is required.

Every day the panel with the buttons for setting the frost level and the button for the open door (with the doors closed) beeps and blinks. What could be the reason?

The equipment signals that an alarm has occurred due to a malfunction of the temperature sensor or control board, or a problem with the defrost system.

Freezes ice in the drain hole where water flows down the back wall. What to do?

The ice can freeze due to the clogged drainage drain, it must be cleaned, a call from the foreman is required.

Whirlpool ARC 8120 model. Frost in the lower right corner. branches where the blinds are frozen. There were no signals of a malfunction. The back wall is decently heated. The unit has been in operation for 3.5 years. Previously, this problem did not arise.

The cause of ice freezing may be not tight adhesion of the sealing rubber of the freezer door to the cabinet, or the door is skewed.

An audible signal sounds after each engine operation.

The buzzer may be triggered by a malfunction in the electronic control module.

I bought a Whirpool ARC 5561 refrigerator and until recently it worked fine until after defrosting the red light on the top panel came on. The instructions say that this is due to the temperature rise in the freezer, then the unit began to shut down arbitrarily, the camera freezes badly, I don’t know what will happen next. Can you please tell me what could be the problem?

This malfunction is associated with a refrigerant leak or with a defrosting system.

The arc 7517 works without interruption, without stopping. The thermostat is on one. A fur coat grows on the back wall. Please tell me the possible cause of the malfunction.

The temperature control sensor could “freeze”. It is also possible a malfunction of the electronics, more precisely, the problem of the board.The signal goes to the board, but no shutdown occurs. You need to do diagnostics.

Malfunctions and breakdowns

Malfunctions in the work of this brand may be as follows: shutdown of the compressor in the freezer; failure of the electronic unit; loose door covering; violation of the temperature regime with the appearance of moisture or ice. Improper operation becomes the main cause of breakdown. You can eliminate this cause yourself by reading the attached instructions and following all the points indicated. There are many faults due to misuse, some of which may even require urgent repair.

The refrigerator does not turn on - This category includes malfunctions when the equipment does not turn on, but the light inside comes on; works for 10 minutes and turns off. Problems can manifest themselves as a result of a faulty heater, fuse, timer, or temperature sensors (including know frost). The unit may shutdown after 10 minutes of operation with the formation of oil drips as a result of problems in the compressor. With some electrical experience, the tester can ring an electronic circuit to identify the defective part. Such breakdowns often occur with equipment equipped with the Know Frost system. In the absence of this function, the cause of breakdowns may be freon leakage or clogging of the capillary tube.

Difficulty in the refrigerator compartment - As a result of a broken cold room. the chamber may show the following breakdowns: it does not work, and the freezer is functioning efficiently; swelling, fur coat is formed on the walls; Doesn't freeze a freezer that only chills. In the hall. the chamber is at the optimum cooling temperature. If h.c. does not work, then there may be many reasons for this. First of all, this concerns the breakdown of a fan or relay from the No Frost system, damage to the compressor, freon leaks, damage to the evaporator or clogging of the filter.

Leakage - Owners of electrically controlled devices often encounter breakdowns of the thermostat, clogging of the drain tube, which causes water to appear. Such disruptions in the operation of equipment may occur as a result of a sensor malfunction, which untimely notifies of an increase in temperature when the motor does not go into optimal operating mode. Major breakdowns appear without noticeable signs, which is why the user can visually identify the defect with a pipe, therefore, qualified assistance will be required.

There are also minor breakdowns when the unit beeps, the door does not close tightly, and the fittings are damaged. This happens as a result of mechanical damage. Strange sounds can be caused by loosening of fasteners in the assembly or foreign objects getting inside. The door may not close tightly due to deformation and sealing rubber. Some malfunctions are identified by error codes displayed on the display: A - incorrect temperature conditions; E1 - malfunction of the freezer sensor; E2 - breakdown of the evaporator sensor.

Whirlpool refrigerators have gained worldwide fame. They are beautiful, functional and reliable. But any technique can have a latent defect that manifests itself during operation. In quantitative terms, Whirlpool refrigerators do not come in for repairs more often than others. Typical malfunctions are associated with freon leakage, electronic control and clogging of the condensate drainage system.

The main purpose of refrigerators is to create the required temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. If the temperature in the plus cabinet is such that the food freezes or is higher than the set one, it is necessary to find the reason. For this, all nodes participating in the process are checked:

• operation of the control unit;
• serviceability of the thermal sensor and thermal relay;
• tightness of the cooling circuit;
• compressor state - duration of switching cycles, extraneous noise;
• the presence and amount of isobutane in the system is established:
• the correct operation of the condensate drainage circuits.

All of these factors can cause a disturbance in the cold chamber operation.

The electronic control unit is the most vulnerable part in case of unstable voltage in the network. It is possible to find a malfunction in advance, if there is no reaction to the commands, error codes appear chaotically, the panel does not respond to the shutdown button.

A faulty temperature sensor will not give a signal to start the compressor or stop it at a given temperature. The cabinet heats up to room temperature or freezes. It depends what position the compressor was in before the sensor failed.

The geared motor may not turn on if the starting relay is faulty or the motor is faulty. The unit may hum strongly when the compressor is jammed, but overheating, it will shut down.

Lack of freon will force the compressor to work non-stop, but there is not enough cold, the temperature rises. It also rises when the cold wall in the cabinet is covered with a snow coat - the condensate defrost system is faulty, the evaporator sensor or heater has failed. But the "fur coat", accompanied by the swelling of the cabinet walls, also indicates a refrigerant leak.

There are many reasons, even the incandescent bulb inside may not turn off, adding heat to the camera. By following the instructions, all user-dependent factors must be excluded. The diagnostics must be entrusted to a service center specialist.

The freezer is designed for long-term preservation of cold in autonomous mode. If it shows signs of defrosting, the circuit has been inactive for several hours. To find the cause, it is necessary to completely defrost the chamber and dry it. If after switching on the cold is not recruited, and the compressor is working, there is no freon in the system. A leak has occurred due to a leak in the circuit. Another reason for defrosting can be:

• failure of the electronic control module;
• sensor failure;
• compressor malfunction - insufficient gas compression.

If the cold builds up, the chamber freezes, you need to make sure that the condensate removal system is working correctly. There is no melting of frost, freezing of the evaporator begins, poor heat dissipation. A specialist will help you find the reason why the Whirlpool refrigerator does not produce enough cold for the freezer.

A typical malfunction of an overseas refrigerator is considered a failure of the defrosting system of a cold cabinet. At the same time, the No Frost system detects a malfunction with one of the following signs:

• the compressor works constantly, which means that there is no defrost interval, the walls of the chamber are frozen over;
• there is not enough cold in the plus section, drops of water flow down the back wall in the freezer;
• On the board there is an emergency signal and sound notification.

In the refrigerating chamber with a drip defrosting system, condensation does not come off, the hole is clogged. If the cause is not eliminated, ice will begin to freeze at the bottom of the chamber, the defrost system will become unusable. Sometimes the water does not come out because the drain tube is clogged or frozen over. The water will then flow downward, forming ice in the freezer.

A puddle that has formed under the refrigerator indicates a malfunction of the drainage system. The condensate is discharged through a rubber-sealed tube. It is directed to the chute mounted on the compressor. During operation, the power unit is hot, the liquid evaporates. But a crack in the tube may appear, the bowl may budge or bend over. All the water will be under the refrigerator.

You can correct the vessel yourself. It is necessary to correctly install the tubing using the cuff. In this case, you need to inspect the system for other damage. A wizard will be required if you were unable to eliminate the condensate leak.

Single compressor refrigerator with bottom freezer and electronic control. The temperature is maintained by a mechanical regulator. The green LED indicates that it is connected to the network. Red - temperature rise in the freezer. The orange LED is on when the freezer is set to hard freeze.Manual thermostats for cameras are located under the control panel cover.

Freon leakage is a typical malfunction of this model. The high pressure tubing is routed in the foam section between the chambers. When the drain from the refrigerator is clogged, water penetrates into the foam, the tube corrodes. As a result of the repair, the circuit is removed from the foamed part, the system is filled with isobutane (R600a).

Two-compartment refrigerator with one compressor and a 110 liter freezer. The body is made of stainless steel. The No Frost system is used in the freezer. Electromechanical control.

Typical malfunctions of the Whirlpool ARC 4190 ix refrigerator include:

• problems with the defrost and condensate removal system;
• failure of the evaporator heater or defrost timer;
• control board failure.

The refrigerator has one evaporator installed in the freezer. During defrosting, water flows into the drain located behind the decorative panel. If there is a problem with the removal of condensate, it is necessary to clean the hole and pipe.

There is snow in the freezer - you need to check if the heater is working when the compressor is resting. This cycle depends on the defrost sensor, which gives the command to turn on the heating element with a build-up on the evaporator tubes up to 0.5 cm thick. Sometimes defrosting and drying the refrigerator during the day will help eliminate leakage.

As a result of a power surge, moisture on the panel, the electronic control unit may fail. Therefore, you cannot put fresh flowers on the refrigerator - you can accidentally spill water.

Two-compartment refrigerator with a small freezer located on top. Refrigerant freon, electronic control. Both chambers use the No Frost defrost system.

Malfunctions that can occur during the operation of the refrigerator are reflected in the section of the instructions "Troubleshooting Guide". The developers advise first to independently check the reasons for the refusal using step-by-step instructions.

Electronic self-diagnosis of faults will help to draw attention to the problem. So, if the Whirlpool refrigerator beeps, this is a signal of a violation of the temperature regime inside the chamber, caused by a depressurization of the circuit. If the door is closed, the seal is not worn out, the abutment is good, the door opening sensor, condenser should be examined. They are located inside the control panel.

If the Whirlpool refrigerator does not work, malfunctions are possible in any node, but the most common cause is freon leakage, damage to the electronic unit and the failure of the Know Frost system.

Two-door two-compartment refrigerator with an overhead freezer and a Nou Frost defrost system. Electromechanical control system. Opening and incomplete closing of the door is accompanied by a sound signal.

The problem is if the regime is violated. This is due to various reasons. This model has a problem with starting the compressor. At the same time, attempts to turn on are accompanied by clicks of the relay. The cause may be a faulty starting relay or a burnt out motor winding. This is evidenced by the fact that at start-up, the compressor turns off without even having worked for 30 seconds.

Failure of the control module is a real reason for voltage drops in the network and work without a stabilizer. However, isobutane leaks or capillary tube clogging is possible.

All refrigerators with the Know Frost system have problems with defrosting and removing condensate. If there are remarks about the operation of the device, it is necessary to free the chambers from food, defrost, dry and try to start again. If the mode is not restored, contact the service center.

Single-compressor combined refrigerator, freezer below, installed No Frost system and electronic control with a display on the external panel. The model refers to those where self-diagnosis and maintenance of a constant mode "6th sense" is installed.The error codes are listed in the operating instructions, in the troubleshooting section of the Whirlpool ARC 8140 refrigerator. If you need to reset any of the errors, press the "OK" button and hold for at least 5 seconds.

Often the problems of this model are a malfunction of the control module, lack or lack of refrigerant. In the defrosting system, the heating element for defrosting the evaporator fails and the fan breaks down.

Having become acquainted with the listed models, the conclusion suggests itself - Whirlpool refrigerators have a prestigious appearance, good functionality, but the models are vulnerable when connected directly to the network. Their energy unit may break down, leaks in the refrigerant circuit may appear. With proper operation, Whirlpool household refrigerators serve for a long time. Troubleshooting is performed by the service center masters. Spare parts are expensive.

Useful, of course, at least in terms of awareness. Again, the site is in the photo.

According to the good old tradition of previous repair publications, I try to do with the least amount of tools, since a fierce set of craft gadgets is rarely found in an average Russian family.

In today's opus, we need surprisingly little - the most ordinary tester, a pair of Phillips screwdrivers and basic knowledge from the school physics course.

I hope every reader of this article has this modest baggage.

By the way, do not be embarrassed if your broken refrigerator is not like the author's. The principle of operation and design of the No Frost single compressor system is identical on all models.

Step # 1 - check the compressor

The most expensive and technologically complex unit of any refrigerator is the compressor. In the event of a breakdown, Whirlpool can be safely thrown into the trash due to the high cost and inappropriateness of subsequent repairs.

Fortunately, the most expensive part of a refrigerator is incredibly easy to test.

We free the refrigerator and roll it away from the wall.

To remove the protective cover of the compressor, you need to unscrew the four bolts.

Compressor contact group.

The yellow / green wires are ground. Brown and blue, extending from the white braid, are powered from the mains. The black and second brown, going to the compressor, supply power to the compressor. Blue and black are already closed.

You don't need to be seven inches in the forehead to understand - to start the compressor in manual mode, it is enough to disconnect the contact group,

and with a piece of wire,

close the contacts of the two brown wires.

Then feel free to plug the plug into the outlet. If the compressor is silent, it's time to run to the store for a new refrigerator.If it works, go to step # 2, remembering to connect the contact group back, put the back cover on and slide the refrigerator into place.

A refrigerator is a household appliance that has a rather complex structure. All functional units are combined into one system filled with a special gas. With the integrity of the system, the device performs all its functions and works without failures and breakdowns. But you can always encounter problems, therefore, possible malfunctions in Whirlpool refrigerators and options for solving them in some cases and on their own... After all, you don't want to take your favorite device to the workshop when you can fix some of the faults yourself.

It is worth noting that the Whirlpool trademark has been loved by the user for a long time, as their refrigerators are durable and easy to use. At the same time, they have established themselves as convenient and functional devices. And it is not surprising, because only the newest are used in the production of equipment. Energy Saving Technologieswhich allow Whirlpool refrigerators to work for a long time without breakdowns.

But even such reliable devices have failures and malfunctions. Experts identify the most common types of breakdowns of Whirlpool brand equipment.

• breakdown of the electronic unit, which is responsible for control;
• temperature failures, which can be represented by the formation of ice or moisture;
• freezer compressor failure;
• loose door closing.

Refrigerator malfunctions often occur due to improper operation. Such breakdowns can always be eliminated on your own - for this it is worth familiarizing yourself with the instructions attached to the technique and observing all the points that are indicated there during further use. This small list does not mean at all that such breakdowns will appear during the operation of the refrigerator, but different things can happen, so it is worth considering malfunctions of Whirlpool refrigerators in more detail.

Malfunctions in the refrigerator can be very diverse, but it is possible to draw up a specific list of problems that the user encounters most often.

The following problems can be grouped into this group:

• the device itself does not turn on, but the light comes on;
• the device does not turn on, even the light does not come on;
• it turns on, but after 5-10 minutes it turns off by itself.

The described problems are typical for heater breakdowns., temperature sensors, timer. If you have electrical engineering knowledge, then it is quite possible to ring the electronic circuit of the device and identify the faulty element. Very often, when you turn on the refrigerator and then turn it off, you can observe the appearance of characteristic oil stains on the floor, indicating a compressor malfunction.

Most often, such malfunctions of Whirlpool refrigerators can be found if the No Frost system is present. Such models are quite complex in their implementation and, as a rule, malfunctions occur precisely in them.

Refrigerator compressor repair

The second most common are breakdowns:

• the freezer does not freeze, but simply cools, while in the refrigerator compartment there is a normal cold temperature;
• the refrigerator compartment is not working, and the freezer is functioning perfectly;
• appears on the walls fur coat or bloat.

There are a lot of reasons that can lead to this state, for example:

• breakdown of the thermostat or fan of the No Frost system;
• freon leak;
• damage to the motor-compressor;
• evaporator problems;
• clogged filter.

To establish the exact cause, a professional diagnosis should be made.

Timer thermostat (right)

Owners of electronically controlled refrigerators often encounter such malfunctions as a breakdown of the thermostat or clogged drain tube, which lead to the formation of water.Malfunctions of this type can be caused by the fact that a faulty sensor does not give a timely signal about an increase in temperature, and the motor does not readjust to the desired operating mode.

Very often, many malfunctions occur without any special visible signs, so it is quite difficult to visually determine what is broken. Professional help is needed here.

Drain tube (drain tube) location options

Among such breakdowns, the following are most common:

• the refrigerator makes too loud a sound during operation;
• the door does not close tightly;
• damage to fittings.

Such malfunctions often arise due to trivial mechanical damage. Sometimes it is enough to carefully examine the unit to find the cause of the strange sound: perhaps the fasteners of some unit are loose or a foreign object has got into the device. Loose door closing may be due to deformations gum sealantthat could be caused by liquid spills.

Details about such problems are described in the recommendations for the operation of Whirlpool refrigerators.

It is always worth remembering that even the slightest malfunction of the refrigerator, which, in principle, does not disrupt the cooling and freezing processes of food, over time can cause great harm to the nodes that are not yet damaged. This happens as a result of the fact that "healthy" nodes receive increased load, which leads to their faster wear. If, during operation, the owner noticed that the refrigerator has changed its work, rattles, does not freeze enough or simply works outside the box, then you should definitely seek the help of specialists who are able to fix all failures in the shortest possible time.
