One of the most vulnerable functions of a refrigerator is cold generation. The situation when the refrigerator suddenly stopped cooling the compartment or giving out too much cold, can arise for a number of different reasons. And it is not always possible to fix the breakdown on your own, you will most likely be able to find out the cause. Quite often, the refrigerator will not cool normally because of improper use or maintenance. Therefore, to avoid complicated and expensive repairs, remember a few useful rules. Connect the refrigerator to the electrical network through a surge protector, this will help you avoid sudden power surges that can harm the compressor, or even completely disable it. When defrosting, do not use strong acidic cleaners, they will damage the cooling system and the integrity of the rubber seal in the refrigerator. Do not place too hot food in the refrigerator, this will negatively affect the cooling system and shorten the life of the unit. The compressor is the pump that enables the flow of the refrigerant. The compressor works by increasing the pressure and temperature of the vaporized refrigerant. There are different types of compressors for refrigeration applications. Reciprocating, rotary, and centrifugal compressors are the most common among refrigeration units. There are several issues guilty of compressor malfunction. There’s a very low load on the evaporator of the fridge. This is caused by running the fridge while it stands empty for long periods, an accumulation of ice in the freezer chamber, or a failure of the control system as possible causes. This means that the incoming refrigerant in the compressor is in a vapor AND liquid form, the compressor is not designed to handle that mixture, so it fails. Your compressor is old and is experiencing normal wear and tear, which makes it stop working. You’re keeping the fridge itself in a hot place, which is causing the compressor to overheat – causing failure. No matter what spoils normal functioning of your Kenmore refrigerator. It is necessary to eliminate the issue ASAP. Give us a call for more information!
