Not every consumer knows that the repair of any home appliances, including the refrigerator, can be done independently without contacting a service center. Even a novice master can deal with simple breakdowns. Today we will try to figure out how to replace the refrigerator thermostat with our own hands. And also let's talk about what kind of device it is and what are its characteristics and purpose?
What is a thermostat and why is it needed
First, let's figure out what it actually is. A thermostat is a device that monitors the t˚C in your refrigerator and gives signals to the compressor, causing it to turn on and off depending on the degree of cooling in the compartment. It works very simply. The thermostat is a relay. On one side of it there is a special hermetically sealed tube filled with freon. On the other hand, the contacts of the electrical circuit, with their help, the compressor is controlled.

Principle of operation
Everything works very simply. The end of the capillary tube is attached to the evaporator. Since it is filled with a refrigerant, for example, freon, then with an increase in t˚C inside the refrigerating chamber, the pressure in it increases. This closes the corresponding relay contacts and turns on the compressor. After a while, t˚C in the refrigerator compartment decreases, the pressure in the bellows tube drops and the contacts open. The compressor turns off.
Another important component of the thermostat is the spring that compresses and expands its contacts. It depends on it how and when they will work. For example, in order to open the contacts at a low pressure in the system (low t˚C), less effort is needed, for a large one - more. The tension of the spring is adjusted using the thermostat switch knob. This is how the temperature regime changes in the Atlant refrigerator and other models with mechanical control.
Some models of refrigerators are equipped with an electronic thermostat. It consists of a temperature sensor and a control module. In modern models, several sensors can be installed for each cooling zone. If your refrigerator has an electronic temperature control mode, it may require specialized knowledge to repair it.

Where to find a refrigerator thermostat
Well, we have disassembled the device and characteristics of the device, we move on to the next question. To repair the thermostat with your own hands, you first need to find it.
This is not difficult to do. The thermostat is always associated with a knob or button for setting the temperature regime in the chamber.Depending on the refrigerator model, the thermostat can be installed:
- inside the refrigerating chamber;
- outside the refrigerator.
Inside
This arrangement is typical for earlier models of Atlant refrigerators and others. If you open the refrigerator, you can see a small plastic box placed on one of the panels. This is the thermostat. To get to it, you just need to remove the temperature switch knob and unscrew the protective case.
Outside
Modern refrigeration units are arranged a little differently. In them, the device we need is located outside the refrigerator chamber. It is usually located at the top of the refrigerator, above the door. But it may be in another place.
In any case, the principle is the same - the temperature controller is located in the same place as the switch knob. To get to it, you need to remove all protective parts.

Signs of a broken temperature relay
Do we really need a temperature controller? Maybe the cause of the breakdown is completely different? Most often, the signs of a breakdown of a thermal relay are obvious: (See also: Why does the refrigerator not freeze - what to do? )
- the refrigerator works without stopping and does not turn off on its own;
- the unit begins to freeze strongly in the refrigerator compartment, where, in normal mode, there should be a low, but still positive temperature;
- the refrigerator shuts down spontaneously and no longer makes any sounds.
Each of these faults can be caused by the temperature controller. In order not to spend money on calling a specialist, we will try to fix the breakdown with our own hands.
The refrigerator does not turn off by itself
To be sure that the temperature regulator is the cause of the malfunction of the Atlant refrigerator or any other, you need to do the following:
- disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply;
- remove all food from it and defrost it well;
- move the thermostat knob to the “Max” position or turn on the freeze, if any;
- place a thermometer on the middle shelf of the refrigerator compartment (not in the freezer), it is best if it also has a negative measurement scale;
- turn on the refrigeration unit (empty, no food);
- wait 2 hours, then quickly remove the thermometer and evaluate its reading.
On the "thermometer" you should see at least 6-7˚С. If not, repairs are imminent. And if the thermostat in your refrigerator is electronic, then it is unlikely that it will be possible to carry out repairs with your own hands.
Disconnected and silent
There may be only 3 reasons:
- broken thermostat;
- burned out motor start relay;
- the engine of the refrigeration unit burned out.
The last two reasons are, of course, very serious. But we are now interested in the first one. To make sure that you need to replace the thermal relay, you need to check it:
- disconnect the refrigerator from the network;
- find the location of the thermostat and remove the protective covers;
- inspect the device carefully.
Most often, the temperature controller has three to four colored wires. One of them is usually yellow with a longitudinal green stripe. This is grounding. We won't need it, so set it aside to avoid accidentally snagging it. All wires that fit the body of the thermal relay, short-circuit each other directly. If, after turning on the refrigerator, you hear a steady hum of the engine, it means that the temperature regulator is out of order and you will have to replace it with a new one.
By the way, the wires suitable for the thermostat have the following purpose:
- orange, red or black - connects the thermostat to the motor;
- brown - zero, the wire leading to the outlet;
- white, yellow or green - leads to a light indicating that the refrigerator is on;
- striped yellow-green - ground.
Snow coat in the refrigerator compartment
If you find such a nuisance, several factors may be the cause. So first you need to do all the steps described in the first paragraph. If the thermometer readings were + 6 ° C or less, quickly turn the thermostat adjustment knob until the refrigerator is turned off.
If the refrigerator turns off, everything is in order. No? It will be replaced. In the event that the refrigerator is turned off, we leave it to work without food for at least 5-6 hours. After that, we begin to detect the time intervals between turning on and off the compressor. For a properly operating refrigeration unit, this period should be approximately 40 minutes. If you get less, "add" a little cold, that is, turn the switch a little to the right, clockwise.
If everything went well, you can load products. No? The temperature controller will still have to be replaced.
How to replace the temperature relay
Do-it-yourself thermostat repair does not take much time. For example, let's take a refrigerator of the Atlant trademark:
- remove the cover of the upper hinge and unscrew the bolts under it;
- remove the refrigerator compartment door;
- further, remove the plug in the refrigerator roof and unscrew one screw (most often it has a built-in hexagon);
- we unscrew the screws holding the roof (located at the back) and remove it;
- remove the temperature control knob;
- take out the temperature regulator by unscrewing the 2 self-tapping screws that secure the bracket;
- we change the node to a new one and perform all actions in the reverse order.

In principle, wherever the thermostat is located, its repair will look about the same:
- get to the detail;
- disconnect the capillary tube from the evaporator body;
- carefully pull it out of the case;
- disconnect the relay itself;
- carefully insert the new bellows tube and secure it to the evaporator;
- connect all the necessary wires and attach the relay in place.
Advice:
If this is your first time doing this kind of work, take pictures of your every step with your phone or camera. The photos will help a lot when assembling, if you forget what and where was connected.

when the refrigerator is turned on, a strong click is heard why?
If, when you turn off or turn on the refrigerator, you hear clicks - most likely, this is the sound of the thermostat. Some models of temperature sensors are more sonorous and can be heard quite well. This is not considered a breakdown. But if this is exactly your case, the refrigerator should click in your home from the first minutes of work.
If clicks have not been observed before, or, in addition to strange sounds, you see other abnormalities in work - for example, the refrigerator clicks and does not freeze - then some kind of breakdown has occurred. For more information about possible malfunctions, read our article - The refrigerator clicks and pops when turned on and working
For about a week and a half, the refrigerator has been working completely silently for me. Previously, you could hear the motor periodically turn on and off, but now the motor does not make any noise at all. The refrigerator works but not very well. The existing ice does not melt in the freezer, but the food does not freeze. That is, the freezer works very little and its capacity is not enough to freeze food, and those that have already been frozen in a few days began to defrost a little. After the thermostat was turned, that is, at first it was turned off until it clicks, and then after a couple of hours it was turned on again, the refrigerator suddenly made a noise and again stopped showing signs of life. That is, it cools, but only a little, and the freezer is not able to freeze food. With what it can be connected? What kind of repair is needed here?
Hello! In your case, there may be a number of breakdowns. But most likely the following parts are faulty: 1. The thermostat (thermostat) of the freezer is out of order. A faulty thermostat does not inform the "brain" of the refrigerator that it is warm in the freezer. 2. Sometimes, in single-compressor refrigerators with the "noufrost" system and a crying evaporator, the switching valve fails. It “sticks” in the “cooling the fridge and freezer” position, resulting in insufficient capacity to cool the freezer compartment. 3. There was a leak of freon.
Hello! Such a problem, My refrigerator stopped turning on by itself, well, that is, when it freezes, it turns off normally, and then as the time comes to freeze it again, it turns on with a dull humming sound for 5-10 seconds and turns off, it cannot start completely by itself, only when you unplug the power cord from the outlet and wait about 5 minutes, you can still hear that there is some kind of click, then only after this click it can be turned on, and until the click occurs, when you turn it on, there is also a dull humming sound and dies down, not may turn on. That is, it must be turned on manually, only after a click, but in automatic mode it cannot turn on itself, what can this be junk? Tell me please.
Hello! Perhaps you have a broken thermostat (the sensor responsible for determining the temperature in the refrigerator) or a malfunction of the start-up relay.
Hello. After defrosting, only the freezer works for me. refrigerator does not work. what needs to be done?
Hello! In your case, there may be several reasons for the malfunction, for example: the capillary tube in the refrigerator is clogged, the temperature sensor or thermostat is broken. You can also read the article “The refrigerator has stopped freezing - what to do?“Perhaps in it you will find a way to solve the problem.
Hello! I have a Westfrost SW312m refrigerator?, Bought 9 years ago. In the refrigerator, as the master said, there was a freon leak, the evaporator was replaced. After that, the cycle of the refrigerator started working for 4 minutes, 12 was resting. And in the thermostat position 2 and 3 shows a temperature of +8. Is this normal? What's wrong?
Good day!
The problem is most likely with the compressor or temperature sensors. This operation of the refrigerator cannot be called “normal”. In any case, we advise you to contact the master. You cannot solve this problem with your own hands.
Hello! please tell me we have a display fridge and on the regulator where it shows the temperature a cross in the lower left corner lit up so that it could mean?
Hello! I have such a problem - the turquoise two-compartment refrigerator worked properly, then we did not use it for 4 months and it just stood there, then we decided to turn it on, before that I washed it inside it, after it dried, I plugged it in and it turned out that only the freezer was working, in the refrigerator itself heat.Tell me what can be broken and what is the reason ???
Hello! In your case, there may be one of several malfunctions - a broken thermostat or temperature sensor, a blockage in the cooling system or a refrigerant leak. You can read more about the reasons for the breakdown on our website - "The refrigerator works but does not freeze: what to do?"
Hello! Atlant, two compressors In the HC, a uniform snow coat and the compressor hums quietly (works) and does not turn off. When I turned off the MK compressor to listen to the XK compressor. He turned off the HC with a thermostat, turned it on after 15 minutes, the compressor turned on, without a click (like with another compressor) and the snow coat began to work slowly again. There is also no defrosting (as before). Such work (two months) became after the replacement of the compressor by the master (which burned out as he said). What could be the reason for such an operation of the HC and not turning off the compressor: a relay, a thermostat, or an internal leak?
Good afternoon. Only after a comprehensive diagnosis can the malfunction be determined.
Happiness to you! On the old Biryusa, after defrosting and subsequent switching on, the thermostat caught fire. An autopsy revealed a burnt and melted thermostat housing. When turned on, the refrigerator works without shutting down, constantly. Can I replace Buryus with new models? On the old one, there are only 2 conclusions.
Good afternoon. I changed the thermostat. But the compressor still runs constantly. Off if the compressor is forced off with the thermostat knob. What could be the reason?
Thanks.
Good afternoon! I have a problem, the Indesit refrigerator was working properly, we bought a new one, the old one stood on the balcony for 2 years, the other day they brought it home, washed it and turned it on. The compressor runs for an hour, but the pipes are cold. What could be the reason.
Hello! There may be a blockage in the cooling system or a refrigerant leak.
Good afternoon. Tell me, I have a two-compressor refrigerator, the compressor for the freezer is working fine, and the other does not turn on periodically, clicks occur, I have to turn it off through a relay or from the outlet for 10 minutes, sometimes it turns on after clicks, the intervals at which it turns on itself are different, depend from the time of day, and when it seems to have recovered, can the freezing time change?
Good afternoon! You need to replace or repair the compressor.
I have a wonderful refrigerator, the constant temperature in the refrigerator is +4 degrees, but I need it to be +8 (storage of medications - there is no money for a pharmaceutical refrigerator). How can you raise the temperature ?!
Use a thermostat in the refrigerator compartment.
Hello! The thermostat is set to the maximum temperature, if you turn it further, the refrigerator turns off
the refrigerator of the old model Smolensk-2, produced in 1980, worked perfectly at the dacha. It cooled and freezed very well for one unit. Now it has stopped turning on. On the recommendation, I put a thermometer in an empty refrigerator and turned on the refrigerator for 2 hours at max cooling (7), after which the thermometer was zero degrees, but the refrigerator itself did not turn off. Please tell me what is the reason.

Hello!
There can be many reasons, given the age of the refrigerator. But most likely the compressor began to work worse. Or a freon leak
Hello. Please tell me the freezer partially freezes (that is, at the beginning of the supply) and the compressor works constantly. What could be the problem?
Good afternoon. Freon leak or thermal relay is out of order. There may be other malfunctions, but these are the most common.
Hello, the Atlant refrigerator has stopped freezing. The engine is running, what could be the reason, the tubes are intact
Atlantes come with 1 compressor and two. One of the compressors often fails.
If the compressor is running, then most likely the problem is in the refrigerator thermostat. Check it out first

HELP WITH REMOTE ADVICE?
Good afternoon. They have already answered more than once, and the article is about this. Most often, if it is a single-compressor refrigerator, the thermostat fails. The refrigerator chamber simply does not turn on for you.
Hello BEKO refrigerator, two-compartment. DOES NOT turn off. It freezes noticeably in the upper wall of the refrigerating chamber. If you turn it off from the outlet and turn it on after a couple of seconds, then when it starts to work, you immediately hear a click and it turns off, but then after turning on it does not turn off again. It also happens if you turn the regulator inside the refrigerator to zero, and then set it back to 1 or 2, etc. Tell me, please, what can it be???
Check the thermostat. Moreover, if he does not react in any way to changes in provisions.
Hello! Desani's refrigerator does not work, the thermostat has changed, it still does not work, it started after replacing the phryne. at this time, the refrigerator works endlessly and when the thermostat is turned off manually, it also works, you turn off the thermostat, only the light turns on
Two options:
1. Or the thermostat is not installed correctly.
2. Or a new one was found defective.
Symptoms are similar to the breakdown of the tremoregulator.
Is there a difference in connecting the wires of the TAM-133 and K-59 H2800 thermostat. Refrigerator Atlant MXM-268. Previously stood there-133 the connection of the wires was: 6-black, 4-brown double, 3rd contact is empty.
Thank you, of course it's understandable, but what else I think if you turn off thermo.r. and put it in a container with ice and water, then it must open the contacts, or not correctly, this is according to the logic of its work. And I do not have a click that it has disconnected and is in the right extreme position. I don’t understand, so he barked.
Yes, you understand correctly. "So he barked"
Hello, Beko refrigerator, the compressor starts, it works for 10-15 seconds and turns off, after a while the process repeats. We measured the resistance on the windings - it turned out 19-22-41, what could be?
We would recommend taking the compressor for repair. We cannot give advice on this issue remotely.
Hello. After the repair, the Electrolux refrigerator began to work without shutting down. It freezes well. The rear grill gets very hot. A noise is heard, as it were, of a liquid rolling inside it. When the thermostat is switched to zero, the refrigerator turns off. There are no complaints about switching to other temperature modes either. The only question is what doesn't turn off automatically. At home, checking the thermostat shows that it is working. The side lever clicks. When removing the thermostat, I noticed that the dolfer tube is not fixed in any way and it comes out of the refrigerator easily. Does it have to be fixed? The thermostat has three adjusting screws. Could the problem be with the incorrect adjustment of the new thermostat? What else could it be?
Good afternoon! Can you please tell me what could have happened to the refrigerator? Atlant was turned off as unnecessary for a month and a half. Now, when you turn it on, the light comes on, you hear a click and very quickly click again. It turns out that it turns on and off immediately?
Hello! If you hear clicks when you turn on the refrigerator, and the motor does not turn on at all, the thermostat is most likely malfunctioning. Normally, this sensor transmits information about the temperature to the control module, which gives the motor a command to turn on or off. The thermostat always works with clicking sounds, but if the engine does not start and does not start making noise due to malfunctions, the clicks are especially audible. The thermostat needs to be replaced.
It may also be - Clicks are heard when the refrigerator is turned on, the engine tries to start, but stops immediately, the light in the refrigerator is on. Apparently, the motor-compressor is faulty. The broken motor starts to work, hums for a short time, and then overheats. As a result, the start-up relay is activated and with a characteristic click turns off the compressor. Replacement of the motor-compressor is required.
Good afternoon!
The Atlant KShD 256 refrigerator stopped turning off. The temperature switch was set to 5. The refrigerator was about 15 years old.
What could be the reason? If it is a relay, can you test it yourself?
Good afternoon. Refrigerator Ariston noufrost. After turning off and defrosting, I start the refrigerator, it works normally for half a day, the damper opens and cold air is supplied to the upper part of the refrigerator. The fan is running. Through the night, the freezer works normally, there is no ice. But there is no cold supply to the upper chamber. Disconnect for 5 minutes. And after the restart, everything is fine. The third time doesn't help. I defrost it and everything repeats. Thanks in advance!!!
Hello. Indesite with one compressor. The thermal relay was replaced (a fuse, which is responsible for turning on the heating element-defroster in the freezer). After that, in the freezer, the temperature rises cyclically to +25 and then drops to -10. What could be the reason? How to check each contact of the thermal relay (4 pins)?
I have a two-chamber Westfrost refrigerator. The refrigerating chamber began to freeze very much. I changed the compressor, it started to buzz, but it worked for a week, and then all the products froze. Tell me what to do.
Check if it responds to temperature changes on the regulator in the refrigerator. If not, then there is a problem with the thermal relay.
Hello. After defrosting the refrigerator (one Atlant compressor), a day passed, only then it began to collect frost (on top of the wall) and turn off as usual. The freezer immediately began to freeze. Then I noticed and measured that it was -30 in the freezer and in the cold. camera +9 (the wheel is at 3). Prior to all this, the refrigerator for a long time worked with sound exactly like the ticking of a clock. What happened to the refrigerator? : ((. Where can I read the answer?
Please contact the master. It is unlikely that you will be able to repair it yourself. The first thing to check is the adequacy of the thermostat, put it in position 1 and measure the temperature, how much it will change.
Good morning, we have an Atlant refrigerator, the refrigerator does not freeze, and the freezer works well. Thawed it, turned it on, after 4-5 hours the refrigerating chamber began to cool down, then after 2-3 days it stopped again.I switch again, after 4-5 hours it worked again and later again. What is it？ What is broken？
Atlanta is most often two-compressor. When the refrigerator compartment stops freezing, check if the compressor is running.
According to your symptoms, we recommend checking the thermostat and the starting relay of the compressor, which is responsible for the refrigerator compartment. Most likely, it starts up once when it is turned on, picks up temperature, turns off and does not start again.
Hello, indesit b18fnf has stopped turning off the compressor.
A faulty relay, or temperature sensor, is most often the same thing. A very common problem in the refrigerator
Hello, the refrigerator is indesit, when it was first turned on a month ago, the adjustment and activation knob worked, i.e. when the position was off, the light did not burn, from a week 1.5 ago they turned off the light at night, the problem: when the handle is turned off, the refrigerator does not turn off, I cannot adjust the temperature, but it freezes itself, turns it off (a click is heard), turns on to freeze it again, but it worries me this regulator with a spark, should it be repaired or can we do without it?
Good afternoon, it's up to you. You can use it like that. Change the temperature controller in the future.
The main thing is that the food in the refrigerating chamber does not freeze, it is not convenient.
Hello. Refrigerator nord 244-010, when he came home, he saw a swamp under the refrigerator, the light inside was on, the compressor did not emit signs of life. Regulator whatever one may say, nothing happens. And if you turn off the regulator until it clicks, the light naturally goes out, and then turn it off from the network for five minutes, turn it back on, then turn on the regulator, then the refrigerator will start working and start freezing, but after a while it will turn off again and will not turn on again, but if you set the regulator to the maximum, the refrigerator will work endlessly. Until I turn the regulator from position three to two, then a click will be heard and the refrigerator will turn off and will not turn on again, waited two hours, and did not wait for it to turn on.
Hello. Try replacing the thermostat, most likely a problem with it.
Refrigerator-freezer Beko A + CNMV5270KCOS. It is not clear where the thermostat of the freezer is located. According to the passport, the recommended t should be -16, but in fact: -22 and cannot be reduced, there is no regulator t. Help me please.
Look for the technical documentation for your model, only from the documentation or by parsing you can determine the location.
Hello, refrigerator Atlant. It turns off and does not start itself, it starts only with a blow (at the top right where the lights are on). Tell me, what could it be?
Thermal relay, in 90% of cases. You can replace it yourself, or contact a service, repairs will not be expensive.
Turquoise 22-1. Does not turn on. I closed the compressor directly - it is working. I tried 4 pieces of start-up relays, including a new one from the turquoise store, there is a suspicion that they sold it. How to check the starting protection relay p1 for operation outside the circuit and how to check the thermal relay? Thanks.
Cold Bosch kgv 33 × 95, it has been freezing for 2 weeks, and only turned off 2 times for half an hour, there is an electronic temperature controller, tell me what to do!
tell me please. I bought a new thermostat, but the refrigerator does not start, when the contacts are closed without it, the compressor starts and runs smoothly. There is a thermal relay and a starting relay on the compressor. Is there a reason for them? and how to find out which relay exactly failed. thank you! refrigerator yuryuzan 207 compressor vc52 ajg
Refrigerator ZANUSSI, with chamber 50l. Heat-loving, where it is - it's cool and it turns off. Doesn't want to turn on at + 15 *. Especially for him, she turned on the air conditioner, it works. When I turn off the air conditioner, the air temperature drops to + 15 * and it turns off. Previously, this was not, it worked at + 5 *. What happened? Can you somehow trick him so that he is not so sensitive?
Good afternoon Vestfrost NKF-330 refrigerator Two-chamber with 2 motors. The top and bottom do not work. The lights are on. What could be?
Good afternoon, if the old refrigerator freezes too much in the refrigerator compartment, is the thermostat broken? If you change it, will you not need to overfill the freon?
Thanks for the answer.
We changed the thermostat, the refrigerator works on for 2-3 minutes, off 4-5 minutes, there is work 3 minutes, rest 4-5. What is it
Hello. I have an old Samsung two-compartment refrigerator. Freezer on top. A month ago, I noticed that the freezer is freezing, but the refrigerator does not. I called the master. The refrigerator worked non-stop. It turned out that the freezer was clogged with ice. We thawed the ice and changed some part on the back of the refrigerator below. Rectangular detail. It took 2 weeks again the same thing. The freezer is packed with ice, so the cold does not go down into the refrigerator compartment. But the refrigerator turns off from time to time, unlike the first case. What could be. I can't get through to the master.
Good time! Refrigerator nord 2003, one compressor, the motor was silent, the refrigerator thawed out, the power light on the top cover does not light (bs 1m), I hooked the distributor at the compressor to the fire in the box, now it freezes at maximum speed, when I unplug it from the outlet, it turns off and then I turn it on, it starts after 15 minutes and again freezes as much as possible, I think that thermoregulation is covered
And it turns out I fed it directly without thermoregulation.
Hello. Refrigerator indesit. The problem is that it works off, but it turns on every other time. With a weak blow on the timer it turns on. Electronic timer
Good afternoon!
When transporting the refrigerator, they forgot to get the eggs, which safely broke and spread all over the refrigerator. Everything was washed, the grilles inside the refrigerator were removed and also washed from the adhering yolk.
After all this, food began to freeze on the bottom shelf. Water does not accumulate. The walls are not frozen. The relay is unscrewed to a minimum.
What could be?
Hello! In your case, there may be several reasons - a thermostat or thermostat is broken, a capillary tube is clogged, a freon leak.
The whirlpool 4046 wbc refrigerator has been working properly for over 5 years. At first, the AL2 error periodically appeared on the display. After a long shutdown, the check of the connectors was turned on - the compressor is working, in the freezer compartment -20 with the set -16, in the refrigeration compartment - 0 with the set 8. When measuring the resistance of the sensors on the connectors of the freezer control board - 28kOhm, refrigeration - 5.8kOhm. Teng heats up audibly, ice appears in the refrigerating chamber, the compressor does not turn off.
And another question - the relays on the board are all the same or there are some nuances. Yours faithfully
refrigerator mhm 16107-80 bought used, After 30 minutes of operation it turns off, after 20-25 minutes a click is heard and the “attention” light comes on, but nothing happens, it goes out after 3 minutes. after turning on the refrigerator after 30-35 minutes. That is, it works 30 minutes, rests 60 minutes with “attention” turned on. The freezer does not flow. What is the reason for this work?

Good morning, I have an Atlant refrigerator, two compressors. the refrigerating chamber freezes (there is frost on the back wall) and the compressor quietly hums (works) and does not turn off, the indicator constantly flashes “H”, after shutdown and defrosting, the compressor turned on again, without a click (like another compressor) and also began to work quietly and again the snow coat on the back wall flashes “H” on the display. There is also no defrosting (as before). and the freezer works well. What could be the reason for such an operation of the HC and not turning off the compressor?
hello, the problem is this: indesit refrigerator TA 18R. turns off, but does not turn on itself. I turn it on with the thermostat switch and not always the first time.
Good afternoon. Try replacing the relay, in 90% of cases it helps
Hello, the problem I have with the Orsk 220 refrigerator is as follows. I just stopped turning it on. I checked the compressor, it seems there is no short circuit. The relay starter also checked, but it does not turn on. Tell me what to do.
Check:
1. Compressor
2. Start relay
3. Thermostat
4. Supply voltage to the compressor and starting relay.
These are the main reasons the refrigerator will not start.
Good evening. Refrigerator Atlant single-compressor. The luggage room has stopped working, the freezer works the same way. Only the clock and the freezer temperature display remain on the display. The storage temperature display is not displayed. And also the light does not light, I twisted it like a worker, the antennae are all in place. What could be the reason? The compressor runs much quieter, turns off and on stably. Where is the thermostat located in it? Refrigerator Atlant XM-4425-089ND.
Hello! Good health to all. Can you tell me what's wrong with our Atlanta. At night he began to work very loudly. Disconnected, thawed, turned on after 10 hours, works quietly, freezes, but does not turn off. Freezes as before. The relay flew, probably or something else can? Thanks in advance.
Everything is correct. In 90% of cases, this is a relay problem.
Good afternoon! Tell me how to add a regular freezer (for example ATLANT M 7402-100) with a thermostat to be able to set the required temperature (the range of -4 -6 degrees is of interest)?
Hello. The Indesite know frost freezer does not respond to a temperature decrease with the regulator knob, does not turn off. Thanks.
Good afternoon. Replace the thermostat, most likely it is faulty.
Good afternoon. We bought a new refrigerator Indesit lTF120x. On the first day of work, I did not notice anything unusual. Works quietly. And the next day, clicks were heard the same as when starting the refrigerator. The refrigerator works for about an hour, then turns off (when you turn off the click, you can not hear it as when turned on). Then, every 8-10 minutes, clicks are heard as when turning on. And these clicks are heard at this interval for an hour while the refrigerator is resting. During the clicks, the light blinks slightly in the chandelier. The refrigerator was connected via a voltage relay. There are no complaints about the operation of the refrigerator, but these clicks are incomprehensible ... Is this a malfunction?
Hello. In the new refrigerator Indesit ltf 120 x, there are constantly unnecessary clicks, as when the compressor is turned on, with a frequency of 8-10 minutes. The father-in-law refrigerator worked for about an hour, after 10 minutes it clicked and so on for an hour until it turned on. Is this a malfunction?
Hello. Tell me Donbass-111. Two wires melted on the thermostat, what is the reason?
Refrigerator Atlant 1842-38, electronic, two-chamber, two-compressor. the refrigerator is working, the freezer does not freeze, although the compressor is working. The freezer condenser is not heating up. I assume a freon leak, or rather a blockage of the capillary system. But I would like to exclude the thermostat (it seems to be absent in this model), which means the temperature sensor. Can you check it somehow? can close directly, without it.Thanks
Good afternoon! Tell me please. There is a refrigerator with electronic temperature control. Divided into three sections: refrigerator, freshness area and freezer. There are three temperature sensors for each section.
So, in the freshness zone, it freezes food, but not always.
What do you think - it could be errors in the control unit? Or, most likely, the temperature sensor in the freshness zone is “buggy”. Thanks in advance for your reply!

Forgot to write a two-compressor refrigerator
Tell me, Stinol 242g, the light inside does not light up, we bought a new light bulb, it is serviceable, it does not burn. The hall-nick itself regularly freezes. Can I figure it out myself? We were tired of looking for products with a lantern.
Have you checked the door sensor? Most often it is mechanical, when the door is closed, the button is clamped - the light goes out. Check this moment.
Hello, the problem is this, well, more precisely, a feature of operation, the model of the refrigerator snaige rf310 1663a - it cools the refrigerator, freezer with a bang, but it is operated in an iron garage where in the summer the temperature inside the garage is above 40+ you yourself understand this is not normal and the cold threshing constantly threshing back the radiator is not sufficiently cooled passively, I additionally put a floor fan to blow through the back wall, at night everything is fine, it is at rest, but the compressor is hot during the day, the crux of the matter! what exactly from the back of the chill needs to be cooled so that it turns off, I repeat at night everything is fine and turn on and off, I understand that the problem is in the room where the chill is, what would you advise in my problem? Thank you in advance
Freezer Kandy. The knob of the thermostat does not rotate well and does not regulate the temperature - it is very cold in the chamber, but the compressor periodically turns off ... I am going to change the thermostat.Can any type of mechanical thermostat be installed, or only the same for this model?
Change the thermostat 100%. There is no difference if the characteristics match and it matches the contacts instead of yours. The ideal option is to buy the same, but not necessary.
Good afternoon! The refrigerator is turquoise, it does not turn off, the relay was replaced, there is no sense, it turns off if you just turn the thermostat, then it turns on itself and works without shutting down until you hit the sensor or turn it, what is the reason, the master called the fries, he needs to add, freezes well, everything in the upper chamber is covered with ice. Thanks in advance
It's strange. It is difficult to diagnose remotely, given that the wizard has already been with you and did not help. But the logic of the master is clear, if the temperature is not reached in the refrigerating chamber, the thermostat will not work. Conclusion - either a problem with one of the compressors (if there are 2) or not enough freon.
Hello!
Stinol-103L, two-chamber, two-processor.
When turned on:
Compressor 1 stays cold and Compressor 2 heats up.
The rear grill gets hot.
The freezer compartment cools the air while the refrigerator compartment remains warm.
When turned on, there are no clicks, only a buzz is heard, apparently the motor.
I would be grateful if you can give advice. Thanks in advance!
The conclusion is simple. You have a problem with this compressor. Check the fridge thermostat first. But I suspect that there may be a problem with the compressor. Because you have it hums and heats up, but does not give cold.
Good afternoon! We have a refrigerator Atlant mkhm-1717-01 KShD-350 \ 115, in the refrigerator there is a huge snow cap on the back wall, the regulator is 1! What could be the problem? If in a regulator, which regulator model is used in this model?
Good afternoon. Contact the SC or a spare parts store, you will be able to choose a compatible thermostat according to the model.
Hello! Refrigerator Pozis Mir two-chamber with one compressor. Works continuously without stopping, vegetables in the lower trays freeze. When the thermostat is rotated to the extreme positions, the refrigerator continues to work. If the refrigerator is disconnected from the outlet, then the compressor does not turn on, then a click is heard and continues to work without stopping. What could be the problem? If a thermostat, which one can be supplied besides the original?
Thanks in advance!
Good afternoon. Replace the thermostat, it will malfunction!
Hello!
Please tell me about the BEKO DSK25000 refrigerator. After moving to a new home, he worked for about a day, and stopped cooling both the freezer and the refrigerator. The light is on, but it does not hum and does not cool, there was no puddle. I took off the starting relay and saw darkened spots. Maybe because of him the problem? If so, the problem is that the same relay cannot be found. And the compressor company TEE R600 NTH90MT. Change the compressor completely?)
Contact any service center. It cannot be that there are no compatible relays to replace yours.
Good afternoon ! I have a Daewoo FR-270 refrigerator. After replacing the motor, it starts to make noise, turns on and off frequently, and the motor heats up. What is the reason ?
good afternoon
Have you often checked how the previous motor heated up? Most often, users do not check this before repair. It is likely that everything is fine. And the fact that it often turns on and off means that the motor began to work better and gain temperature faster.
The second option is that you have installed a poor quality compressor.
Hello. I have a two-chamber Nord. 93 years ago. A month ago they installed a new compressor along with a relay. Today the thermostat stopped turning on. Only forcibly, in the sense of translating it to zero and then turning it on. It works, after shutdown it does not turn on. What to do?
Hello! I didn’t close the refrigerator door, as it was discovered in the morning, and it also turned out that the refrigerator was not working. I ask for your advice.
