Afridge or freezer works in the way that it pumps gas refrigerant at high pressure levels through componets and reach the end point when its cold to absorb the warm air and maintains temperatures and this is achieved through its componets assembled together.
The relay is connected to the nuetral point and its the one responsble for keeping the compressor motor running once the compressor its start on the running winding it then switches of the start winding within a second and powers only the running winding and this cycle is repeated whenever the compressors comes to rest and back on after defrost or when temperature is achieved.
The over load protect is used to protect the compressor from over current and this is connected the common terminal of the compressor, when the there is over current it opens the circuit as its normally closed switch.
A thermal start is the controller of temperatures with in the fridge/freezer compartment and this is connected in series with the compressor so as to limit excess pumping of the compressor when temperatures are achieved and as well too maintain the appliance efficiency in power consumption. its usually located on the fridge compartment as it only monitors the temperatures in the fridge and switching of the compressor on and off. it can either be digital or analogue
The defrost timer helps to maiantain the ice build up in the freezer compartment, its connected in series with a thermal start to monitor temperatures and once set temperatures are exceeded it sets off the compressor and turns on the evaporator heaters to do a defrost for the set period of time and after the thermal start in the fridge will set back on the compressor and the cycle continues and this happens repeatedly in the operating life cycle of the fridge/freezer
these are temperature monitors used to monitor fridge freezer temperatures and work in series with the thermostats, they can be used as temperature controllers.
FRIDGE RUNNNING BUT NOT COOLING? what happens when compressor is fault? When a compressor is fault there will be no refrigerant/gas pumped through out the system and hence the fridge will not work hence this can be checked by qualified technician, this can be due to faulty compressor motor, or electrical internal issues and sometimes the compressor can start vibrating or making noise.
What happens when the thermal start is fault? When the thermostart is fault the fridge/freezer will not be able to control the temperatures in the fridge/freezer compartments and this can either cause ICE to build up in compartments or fail to start the compressor and can make the fridge/freezer to fail. its can be checked by qualified technician/Faultfree Engineers.
FRIDGE/FREEZER NOT TURNING ON? When start relay fails the compressor will not start instead it will stay humming and the compressor will get hot.
FREEZER COLD BUT FRIDGE IS WARM? When fans fail the fridge compartment will not be able to achieve temperatures and instead the fridge compartment will be warm and freezer cold due to lack of air circulation with in the appliance. The fan will not run at all or it will run making noise.or if its a compressor fan it will cause the compressor to over heat and cuts of the cycle.
lights are controlled by the door switch and they are supposed to come on when the door is open off when door is closed, A faulty door swict can cause the bulbs to fail or the faulty bulbs.
The reed switches are connected in series with the compressor and when the reed switch fail can cause the fridge not to turn on, the lights and display board will be working but compressor will not run. these are common controls in wine coolers and chillers
Fridge/freezer is running but not cooling? This can be caused by leakage somewhere in the system and this can cause the gas to escape, a thorough check needs to be done to asses this using visual inspection method or leakage detector. This happens sometimes at the joints in the system capillary to evaporator, Filter drier to capillary name it.
Fridge/freezer is running but not cooling? The appliance will run for a short cycle and stop, this can be due to blockage in the system caused by ware in the system or fallen object sucked into the system from leaking points, this can cause blockage especially in the capillary tube or can cause compressor oil to go off due to contamination and the compressor will seize.
Repairing is cheaper than buying new as new ones also fails sometime, you have been used to your fridge freezer its served you well and it can serve save you and serve you more, why not repair it with us.
