If the Indesit refrigerator does not work, you can deal with the breakdown quickly, since finding parts for it will not be difficult: Indesit refrigerators are produced in the Russian city of Lipetsk. That is why the technique is so popular - value for money suits many users.
What malfunctions are most common
In two-chamber refrigerators, Indesit may fail to operate the upper refrigerating chamber - there are several reasons.
Start-up relay does not work
The relay is used to turn the compressor on and off in the refrigerator. As a result of long work, the part could stick, or its contacts burned out. Therefore, a thorough diagnosis and replacement of the relay.
Fan problems
Problems with the operation of the fan are indicated by several signs:
- The self-diagnosis system can display error code F04 on the display.
- You can also notice that the fan does not spin in the refrigerator with the Nou Frost system, the blades are covered with snow. Then the refrigerator is defrosted and restarted.
- If after defrosting the blades do not rotate, then the wiring of the fan motor is checked - the resistance is measured using a multimeter. If a malfunction is detected, the fan should be replaced.
Defrost heater broke
In this case, the code F07 may appear on the display, which will help you find out the cause of the breakdown. The problem can be noticed by external signs:
- snow and ice are growing on the walls of the branches;
- the fan does not rotate;
- temperature in chambers is lower than set.
In this case, the TEN wiring rings, the fuses are checked, perhaps some of them has blown. A new heater is being installed.
Motor Compressor Failure
If the motor starts to run noisily or does not turn on at all, you need to call the wizard to conduct diagnostics. The compressor could burn out due to voltage drops in the network, as well as during prolonged use, when all parts wear out. Wear can be determined by the following signs:
- the compressor starts for a few seconds and stalls;
- oily streaks are visible near the body;
- there is no cold in the cells.
In the event of a breakdown, a new compressor is installed. The main thing is to choose the right part in accordance with the model of your refrigerator.
There is no light in the compartment
Having problems with lighting? Check the light bulb, but first unplug the refrigerator. If the bulb is covered, unscrew the fasteners and remove it. Then unscrew the damaged one and install a new bulb.
Indesit refrigerator works, but does not freeze
What to do if the refrigerator is constantly working, but there is no cooling? Understand the causes of the problem. You should check:
- Is the chamber door closed normally? If you see a gap through which warm air passes, then the motor will work without stopping, compensating for the temperature. It is necessary to take measures, replace the seal, tighten the door fasteners.
- Is there enough ventilation in the refrigerator? When it’s hot in the room, the case stands close to the wall or the battery, the equipment starts to overheat, and the compressor works without interruption. Move the case away from the furniture so that there is a distance of 7-10 cm between them.
More serious malfunctions are possible:
- The temperature controller or temperature sensor has broken. Now the module can not receive messages about the temperature in the chamber, so the motor runs all the time.
- Faulty control board. In this case, the module does not process the data correctly, therefore, the refrigerator may not cool well, and the freezer may work. Flashing or replacing the board is required.
User comments
- Blockage of the evaporator tube. As a result of depressurization, a thrombus forms in the tube, therefore it is better to call a master who will eliminate the blockage.
- Leakage of refrigerant leads to a decrease in freon gas in the system, so you observe poor cooling in the chamber. It is necessary to detect the cause of the leak and refuel the system with freon.
- Motor wear - while it is noisy. Compressor parts wear out, it does not have enough power to create the necessary pressure to lower the temperature.
The freezer is not working
If there is a “thaw” in the freezer, first check the temperature regulator: are the correct values set there. Adjust the temperature.
To more easily determine the cause of the breakdown, pay attention to the operation of the Indesit refrigerator:
- The compressor runs for 10 minutes and turns off. This symptom appears in two-compressor technology and indicates a breakdown of one motor responsible for the freezer compartment.
- The engine starts as usual, but, turning off for rest, does not turn on again for a long time. The case is in the breakdown of the thermostat or air sensor. The board does not receive temperature data, so the motor does not turn on for a long time.
- As a result of the damage, the freon gas leaked. It is required to find the place of damage, eliminate the leak and charge the system with refrigerant.
To avoid such damage, defrost the Indesit refrigerator in time, wash the compartments and give them time to dry well. The correct installation of the case with a slight deviation back is important. Follow the rules of operation, then the equipment will serve you for many years.
