Refrigerator "Indesit": faults. Repair of refrigerators "Indesit"

Modern refrigerators of the firm "Indesit", produced under the Italian brand in the Russian city of Lipetsk, have a good price-quality ratio for the average consumer. The large volume of sales of these household appliances throughout the country indicates that the percentage of premature breakdowns of this brand is low. Nevertheless, none of the equipment is insured, and the refrigerator "Indesit", whose malfunction is also possible, is no exception. This article will describe possible causes of non-availability and their solution.

Refrigerator "Indesit". Malfunctions that may occur during operation

The modern refrigerator (photo below), including this brand, is equipped with an electronic control system, which allows you not to constantly adjust the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer.

It is enough to choose the optimal mode and not to change it. Periodically, you can use additional functions, such as fast freezing, holiday mode. All this, of course, improves the usability of the device, but electronic systems are more sensitive to voltage fluctuations and power outages. Against the background of this, and not only, the refrigerator "Indesit" itself is subject to disruption of performance. Faults can occur for various reasons. Depending on the severity of the breakdown, repairs can be carried out both independently and with the help of a professional master.

Malfunction of the start-up relay

Failure of this element of the system can cause a rise in temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. The fact is that the starter relay is responsible for starting the compressor, which starts chasing the refrigerant. The cause of this malfunction can be "sticking" on the motor contacts. To detect it, you need to check the connectors for water, which can lead to a short circuit.

Also, if before that the owner of the device independently repaired the refrigerator "Indesit", whose malfunctions violated its efficiency, it is again worth checking the correct connection of the terminals on the compressor. Such an error can cause a short circuit which will result in the combustion of the start relay. Therefore, it is better to entrust repair of your equipment to a professional master, he will not only correctly pick up spare parts for the refrigerator "Indesit", but also correctly replace the failed system element.

Another cause of this malfunction is a malfunction of the temperature sensor, which does not transmit information to the relay protection relay, so the compressor is in the standby mode.

Malfunctions of the refrigerator "Indesit Know Frost"

Now such models are very popular. This system allows you not to worry about defrosting the refrigerator, ice umbrella simply does not form. Although it is worth noting that the ice can still appear, and this is the reason for the disruption of the work. The refrigerator "Indesit", the malfunction of which consists in the formation of a snow crust on the walls of the device, may need to replace the rubber gaskets located on the doors. The fact is that when warm air enters the chambers, it is converted to frost, which settles on the walls of the device.

Fan out of order

This error is indicated by an error in the display "F04". There are two options for solving the problem: check the integrity of the circuit between the fan and the board responsible for its operation. To do this, you need to measure the resistance or connect the device directly to the network.

If the first option disappears, then it will be necessary to order new spare parts for the refrigerator "Indesit" in a specialized service center.

The defrost heater does not work

This error is indicated by the error "F07" on the refrigerator display or simultaneously burning three LEDs.

It is worth noting that the appearing errors on the display of the device do not always indicate a true breakdown. The command device of the refrigeration system is a complex system, which is characterized by glitches. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that the signaling errors are only supposed malfunctions, which, before being repaired, must be checked.

In this case, as in the case of a failure in the operation of the fan, the first thing to check is the presence of resistance in the circuit at connector J6. If it is normal, then it is worth checking if the thermal fuses are open. If this also does not help, then, most likely, the heater defrost could burn, then it only remains to replace the failed part by ordering it in a specialized service center and inviting a qualified master to repair its refrigerator.

Malfunction of the compressor

This is the most important part of the refrigerator, and the functioning of the entire device depends on its functioning. The most common cause of compressor failure is the prolonged operation of the unit. Also, the "heart" of the device may be jammed due to fluctuations and voltage surges. As practice shows, modern compressors are practically not subject to repair, and therefore it will have to be completely replaced or think about buying a new refrigerator. In any case, if the device constantly chases the refrigerant, the temperature in the chambers is different from the norm or the compressor makes unnatural sounds, it is necessary to call a repairman of refrigerators, which will establish the exact cause of the malfunction.

Freon leak

Although the modern refrigerator (photo below) is stuffed with electronics and almost all the faults are signaled by the LEDs and the control display, some faults can be detected only after vigilant monitoring of the device operation or with a thorough examination of its internal mechanism.

A vivid example is the leakage of refrigerant. The signs of this malfunction, when the operation of the Indesit refrigerator is performed in the standard mode, are:

1. The appearance of a snow coat in the chambers of the device.
2. "Indesit" (refrigerator) does not freeze. Deviation from the norm in one or both in the temperature chambers.
3. Noticeable naked eye swelling of the back wall of the refrigerator.
4. Continuous operation of the compressor.

Most often, a leak of freon is found in refrigerators, the freezer compartment of which is located below. The two chambers are connected by a heat pipe, along which the coolant is chased. This arrangement is the most successful for preventing the formation of condensate on the walls, which is achieved by reducing the temperature difference. But even a small amount of water vapor can cause corrosion damage to the heat pipe, which can subsequently cause a malfunction in the operation of the refrigeration unit.

As an refrigerant in such devices use an inert gas - freon. It has neither taste nor smell, therefore it is impossible to detect its leakage without special equipment. Freon in large quantities can cause human poisoning, but the amount used in the refrigerator can not have negative consequences for the body.
