Hello! My name is Shamil Gennady Anatolyevich, I am a refrigerator repair master. Today I will tell you what you need to know about repairing and operating refrigerators in order to extend their service life. I will also give a couple of recommendations on choosing equipment.
Main refrigerator breakdowns
Breakdowns can be different and depend on the brand and defrosting system. For example, in conventional drip refrigerators, the thermostat most often fails. Its service life is about 8-10 years, but it can break down earlier.
In refrigerators with a No Frost system, fans, timers and temperature sensors break down more often. Sometimes problems arise due to clogging of the drainage system. These malfunctions can be eliminated if you call a master in time.
Modern refrigerators: maintainability vs. service life
Old refrigerator models were more reliable, because manufacturers laid a large margin of safety in them. Modern devices, unfortunately, often serve only the stated term. For example:
Shivaki refrigerators — service life of about 5 years.
LG and Samsung — refrigerant leaks are possible after 7 years.
The No Frost system is more repairable, but requires careful maintenance. Move the refrigerator periodically and clean the condenser grille to avoid compressor overheating.
Common problems and their solutions
If your refrigerator has started to cool poorly or make noise:
Check the ventilation holes and drainage system. You can remove blockages yourself using warm water and a syringe.
Make sure that the refrigerator is installed level — distortions can prevent the door from closing tightly.
If the compressor runs non-stop, a refrigerant leak is likely. You cannot do without a specialist here.
