6. the compressor strike different locations on the side surface of its case using a rubber hammer or hand hammer with a wood block in between so as to determine whether the suspended springs are out of balance or being seized The contacts of thermal relay sometimes may be open due to the leakage of temperature sensing agent from the temperature sensor Remedy Remove the relay cover to check up its contacts if they are open this means that the original setting is not properly set or temperature sensing agent has leaked out of the temperature sensor Try to turn the adjusting stem of this value in the direction of the lower temperature graduation then check the contacts to see whether they are closed If they are still not closed dismantle the temperature sensing disc and then immerse it into warm water to see whether the contacts actuate if not it can be preliminarily determine that temperature sensing agent has leaked out and it must be replaced with a new thermostat 4 Motor troubles and other electric faults a Motor windings have been burned or short circuited between turns ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE When motor windings have been burned or short circuited between turns the fuse will be blown repeatedly and the blowout occurs particularly at the instant when you close the knife switch REMEDY Check the terminals and the outer casing to see whether they are short circuited and measure the resistance of each phase with an avometer If sho
7. the major parts in the refrigerating system has been performed improperly the effect of air purging for the whole system is not good or the water content in the refrigerant is out of standard all these will cause the expansion valve to be clogged with ice The symptom for this trouble are as follows the refrigerator sometimes can refrigerate and sometimes cannot the refrigerator compartment works normally at the beginning but after working for a certain period of time frosting begins at the clogged position evaporation temperature reaches below 0 C water will accumulate at the narrow part of the capillary and clog it gradually then frost begins to melt at the evaporator no gas flowing sound can be heard and the gas suction pressure assumes a state of vacuum Note that these phenomena will appear intermittently sometimes the refrigerator works well and sometimes not well In order to determine whether it is clogged with ice heat the suspicious points with hot water to make ice melt and after a while if a gas flowing sound resulting from an abrupt gush is heard and the gas suction pressure rises as well it can be confirmed that the trouble is caused by ice clogging REMEDY If there is too much moisture in the refrigerating system it is advisable to release the refrigerant purge the tubing with nitrogen and then charge the system with the filtered refrigerant However the commonly adopted method is to connect a filter with moisture ab
8. to the noises produced when the compressor is running Hums from a fully enclosed aggregate unit is the sound caused by overload indicating that the motor cannot be started normally meanwhile a clattering sound can be heard from inside the start relay which is produced because the start contacts cannot be released normally A whistling sound is caused by the high pressure gas flowing out of the crack of the pressure tube inside the compressor and clucks are the sound of striking after the suspended spring inside the compressor has broken During the normal operation of compressor a slight and uniform hum sound due to undulation of electric current can be heard generally this is a normal phenomenon However if it sounds like tong tong i e an impact sound inside the compressor this means that a large quantity of wet vapour of refrigerant or refrigerating oil has come into the compressor cylinder if it sounds like dang dang a striking sound of metal parts inside the compressor this means that some moving parts have loosened note to differentiate this sound from those formed during starting or stopping the compressor b Listen to the sound caused by the flowing of gas in the evaporator Open the refrigerator door while the compressor is in operation incline your ear and listen attentively the gas flow sound inside the evaporator If it sounds like gentle whistling accompanied by a sound similar to water flowing this is the so

10. EMEDY Check the heat insulation layer for its damaged parts repair it to improve its heat insulation property If the door has deformed or the door seal is not tightly sealed against the case body repair them respectively 5 Too much food is placed in the refrigerator or is placed too densely resulting in poor ventilation or poor conditions for temperature sensing and hence no stoppage of the compressor 6 Too high ambient temperature poorer ventilation and heat dissipation make the compressor running without stop F Electric leakage of refrigerator 1 Slight electric leakage Electric insulation has deteriorated due to being affected with damp thus resulting in slight electric leakage 2 Serious electric leakage Refrigerator case has become live due to faults occurred in some electric devices or the erroneous wiring in installing power cord plug or outlet by the user This is very dangerous 3 Electric leakage test a Slight electric leakage tingle sense will be experienced as soon as you touch the metal parts of the refrigerator with your hand When test them with a test pencil its neon lamp will come on In that case the first thing you need to do is to determine whether the grounding is perfect If the grounding is no problem turn off the refrigerator immediately then check the insulation of electric circuits with an avometer b Serious electric leakage Never touch the case body of the refrigerator its door
11. F TROUBLE Total clogging of a filter is rarely to occur This trouble is mostly caused by the paste like matter formed from the substances filled into the system or other dust after the refrigerator has been used for a longer time or by the dirt accumulated gradually inside the filter Sometimes tapping the filter nay cause a passage for flowing Touching it with your hand you will feel that it is cooler compared with its temperature in the normal state REMEDY The same as described in the capillary clogging with dirt 3 Troubles of Compressor a Breakage of gas suction and discharge valve blocks ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE The compressor works by means of the opening and closing of gas suction valve and discharge valve to suck and discharge the refrigerant If the valve block is broken the refrigerant can not be discharged and hence no refrigerating can be achieved METHOD FOR MAKING JUDGEMENT It is quite difficult to differentiate this trouble from others because they often have similar symptoms In repairing firstly hear attentively if there is some abnormal sound coming from the compressor sometimes the broken pieces of valve block may strike against the cylinder and feel the compressor casing with your hand to ascertain whether it is too hot this is also helpful to the troubleshooting secondly measure the pressures at the high and low pressure ports of the compressor with pressure gauges if the gas suction valve block is broken th
12. age due to electric troubles a Thermostat is out of control ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE In case the thermostat does not work in its good order or its temperature sensor has not been installed properly frequent stoppage is also likely to occur REMEDY Try to adjust the temperature sensor s position until the compressor can be started and stopped normally If this cannot be achieved and the stoppage still occurs repeatedly it is most likely that the mechanical parts or contacts are out of order disassemble the thermostat make a thorough checkup and repair it b Overload of electric motor ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE Probably too many things have been put into the refrigerator and hence the thermal load exceeds its refrigerating capacity or in case the power supply voltage drops considerably the current flowing through the motor will increase drastically making the thermal protector actuate and the fuse blown and hence the motor stops running If the motor is still running continuously in such a case its windings will be burned out REMEDY Reduce the thermal load pay attention to the variation in voltage of the power supply c Abnormal thermal protection ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE The compressor current is within its normal range but the thermal protector actuates repeatedly REMEDY Replace the thermal protector with a new one 3 Sudden stoppage due to other causes NORMAL STOPPAGE Start and stop of the compressor is generally controlled
13. ator purge it thoroughly and then dry it In case it is difficult to dismantle it charge refrigerant from the evaporator inlet to wash it several times then purge and dry it with nitrogen 7 Flowing obstructed in refrigerating system ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE Because the refrigerating system was originally not purged thoroughly some of the filter screen meshes have been clogged by dirt accumulated in the filter after using it for a certain time of period thus resulting in a decrease in flow rate and hence a poorer refrigerating effect The abnormal phenomena caused by this kind of slight clogging in the system are as follows the gas discharge pressure is lower the temperature of discharged gas drops down the position clogged has a temperature lower than that in normal conditions and for a severe clogging even dew condensation as frosting may appear REMEDY Purge the tubing and after replacing the dry filter with a new one or clearing it thoroughly recharge the system with refrigerant and seal the charging port B No Refrigerating The phenomenon that the compressor runs normally but no frost or only a little frost appears on the evaporator and the refrigerator temperature does not drop down is called no refrigerating There are many causes for this trouble and it is relatively complicated too In servicing special attention to finding direct causes for this phenomenon Three main potential causes for this trouble are anal
14. by a thermostat When the temperature in the refrigerator reaches its desired value the thermostat will shut down the compressor automatically Never take this normal operation as a trouble care should be taken to differentiate it from other real troubles in servicing D Compressor won t start In case the compressor cannot be started you must find out the origins of this trouble through checkup step by step because probably there are many causes including those electrical and mechanical 1 Inspect the power supply to see whether it is connected to the compressor circuit ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE In case the compressor cannot be started this will generally exhibit in the power supply circuit for instance power failure poor contact of switch and blown fuse Make a comprehensive analysis of these phenomena fine out its real cause and take correct measures to remove this trouble REMEDY a Check the input power circuit to see whether where is voltage of the power supply namely the circuit which is connected to the knife switch This can be determined with an avometer or a test pencil If a blown fuse is found ascertain and remove its cause then replace it with a new one of the same specifications b Check the compressor accessories including its thermal protector and relay In case the thermal protector is damaged the compressor cannot be powered on If the relay is out of order the motor will not run and hum sound can be heard from

17. condensation appears due to the fact that its temperature is obviously lower than the ambient temperature this means that most meshes of its screen has been clogged resulting in an obstructed flowing of refrigerant thus causing a drop in temperature due to throttling d Feel the temperature of exhaust gas from the refrigerating system the exhaust gas should be very hot and this is the normal working state For those refrigerator with enclosed type of compressor refrigerating system no frost or dew drop will from on the gas suction tube otherwise there is something wrong in the system Frosting and dew condensation may appear for a very short time period when just starting the machine this is a normal phenomenon Because a refrigerator is a combination of several components they are related and have influence on each other In case an abnormal phenomenon has been found through the above mentioned checkups you need not to make a hasty conclusion based on only one abnormal phenomenon It is advisable to find out two or more abnormal phenomenon or conduct troubleshooting comprehensively with the aid of instruments or other ways because several kinds of troubles may share a common abnormal phenomenon and two or more abnormal phenomena may occur simultaneously due to a certain trouble With this method you can reject some suspicious troubles and finally make a correct judgment 5 4 Compressor doesn t start Compressor doesn t start Y
18. e suction pressure gauge pointer will swing violently and the suction pressure is very high whereas when the gas discharge valve block is broken the discharge pressure gauge pointer will swing drastically and the discharge pressure is very high In the both cases stop the compressor at once and if technique is available open the cylinder cover and check up the valve block repair it or replace it with a new one C Sudden stop of Compressor during Its Running The cause of sudden stop of a compressor during its running is mostly that the gas suction pressure and or discharge pressure exceed their respective prescribed ranges thus making a pressure operated protective relay shut off the power to the compressor and stop it In the following we discuss mainly the reasons for causing excessively high gas discharge pressure and low suction pressure 1 Stoppage due to excessively high gas discharge pressure A Too much refrigerant charged into the system ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE The phenomenon such as loose frosting and poor refrigerating effect may occur if excessive refrigerant has been charged into the system Superfluous refrigerant will occupy a certain space of the evaporator thus reduce its heat dissipating area and the phenomenon of liquid striking may occur too Meanwhile dew or frost condensation may occur on the gas return tube and the gas discharge pressure will obviously rise when it reaches the threshold value the protective r
19. elay will actuate and shut off the power supply to the compressor REMEDY Open the tubing re evacuate and then charge the system with a proper quantity of refrigerant b Air left in the system ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE The residual air in the system will circulate together with the refrigerant in the system The major symptoms caused by this residual air is higher gas discharge pressure higher discharged gas temperature the gas discharge tubing is considerably hot when you feel it with your hand and poorer refrigerating effect Furthermore the gas discharge pressure will exceed its normal value when the compressor has run for a period not too long thus making the protective relay actuate and bring to a stoppage REMEDY Check up how the air has been left in the refrigerating system Generally there are two possibilities one is that the air has been sucked into the system when repairing due to carelessness or it has not been purged out totally when evacuating the system the other is that there are leak points at the low pressure end of the refrigerating system Leak points appear mostly in those low temperature parts or assemblies because the evaporation temperature is lower for such low temperature devices especially at the low pressure end it is easier for the air goes into the system Once it has been ascertained that air does exist in the system you have to open the tubing re evacuate it and then charge it with refrigerant 2 Stopp
20. h are not troubles In case any one of such phenomena occurs there is no need to worry about it and the user can use it at total ease 1 When the compressor of a refrigerator has just stopped running a rumbling sound can be heard from inside its evaporator This is a sound caused by the flowing of refrigerant in the evaporator tubing Because the pressure difference is still greater after the compressor has just stopped running the refrigerant will flow for a certain time therefore this sound is a normal phenomenon 2 A click sound can often be heard from the refrigerator This is a normal sound produced by the pull in or release of the armature of a current deadweight start relay when starting the compressor The compressor motor will produce a slight and uniform sound while it is running This sound is not easy to be heard in the daytime but of course it can be heard distinctly at night 3 The compressor consists of an electric motor and a compressing apparatus During its normal operation the motor s stator core and windings will rise to a temperature in the range of 100 C 110 and the temperature of the piston and cylinder of the compressing mechanism can also reach as above 100 C due to the heat produced when compressing refrigerant Most of the heat radiates to the air through the compressor casing therefore its casing is generally at a temperature between 85 C 90 C itis very hot particularly in summer when the ambient te

22. it after the compressor is turned on in that case shut it down immediately otherwise the motor windings will be burned out in case this condition lasts longer c Check the relay contacts and plugs to see if they are perfect and work reliably Poor contact may cause the motor not running or humming 2 Check the circuit voltage to see whether it is normal ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE If the circuit voltage is obviously lower than its rated value it will be difficult to start the motor and a hum sound can be heard from it REMEDY Measure the voltage with a voltmeter if it is really too low give directions to the user for buying a stabilizer so as to step up the voltage thus normal operation can be achieved 3 Check the thermal relay to see whether its contacts are closed ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE Three suspended spring inside the compressor case are out of balance and strike against the case moreover the wear of compressor parts may cause noise sometimes 3 Resonance of tubing and loosening of parts Improper and compact laying of tubes or the loosening of parts may cause vibration and noise 4 Inspection method To find the sources of noise press the vibration spot with your hand while the refrigerator is in operation and listen attentively whether the vibration becomes weaker or vanishes If the refrigerator has not been levelly placed put a level meter on its top table and adjust the leveling screws on its legs In case noise occurs from
23. izing shaft and piston After the refrigerator has been powered on the compressor will not start and run but a slight hum sound can be heard and several seconds later thermal protective relay will actuate and make the contacts open this process will occur repeatedly but the compressor cannot be started E Compressor won t stop Sometimes the compressor will run continuously for several hours or run without end If the food placed in the refrigerator is not too much there may be the following two situations i the refrigerator very low this means that the control system is probably out of order ii the control system works normally and there are troubles in the refrigerating system or other parts 1 Temperature is set improperly a The temperature control knob is set to the coldest position This position is to be used for fast freezing or continuous running its temperature for power off is too low therefore the compressor won t stop and the temperature in the refrigerator becomes lower and lower b Inspection method check the temperature control knob to see whether it is set in the position coldest 2 Thermostat is malfunctioning and makes the compressor running continuously ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE When the thermostat doesn t work normally it will make the compressor run continuously and hence very low temperature will be achieved in the refrigerator The fault is generally due to the fact that the contacts of the therm
24. mperature is higher All these are normal phenomena 4 For the direct cooling refrigerator a kind of irregular crack sound can be often heard when the compressor is running for a certain period of time or has just stopped its running This sound is caused by the stress relief due to expansion and contraction when temperature changes and will not affect the normal application of refrigerator 5 3 Common Troubles in Refrigerators and Their Remedies Causes for troubles occurring in refrigerators are closely related to the quality of components and workmanship in assembling by manufacturers as whether refrigerators are properly used and maintained The parameters generally used to express the working conditions of a refrigerator include the temperature inside the refrigerator operation rate electric power consumption noise level and other functional indexes If any one of these parameters is beyond its permissible range this indicates that there is a fault or trouble in the refrigerator During the whole service life of a refrigerator the probability of troubles occurring within a union time is called its failure rate Making a comparison between the control circuit system of a refrigerator and its refrigerating system we can find that the failure rate of the former is higher and that of the thermostat is the highest In troubleshooting the first thing you must do is to determine where the trouble comes from the control system or the refr

27. ostat cannot be released REMEDY Dismantle the thermostat and make a through checkup if it is totally out of functioning replace it with a new one 3 evaporation temperature is too high in refrigerating system resulting in lower refrigerating capacity and hence continuous running of compressor ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE Leakage of refrigerant and clogging in a refrigerating system will directly affect its refrigerating capacity Due to the reduction in its refrigerating capacity the refrigerator temperature cannot reach its rated value the thermostat won t work thus the compressor runs continuously When the evaporation temperature in the system is too high the temperature sensing agent in the temperature sensor is also hotter therefore the thermostat is unable to cut off the power supply to the compressor and stop it REMEDY If it has been found that the refrigerant in the system is insufficient in quantity recharge it with refrigerant In case clogging occurs disassemble the part where it is blocked If the evaporation temperature is too high settle this problem with an appropriate quantity of refrigerant 4 No stoppage of compressor due to damaged heat insulation layer inside case body and or door seal ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE When the heat insulation layer inside the case body deteriorates or the door seal is not closely touches the door frame the temperature in the refrigerator will rise and makes the compressor running continuously R
28. ower than the saturation pressure corresponding to the same ambient temperature REMEDY In case there is leakage of refrigerant from the system do not hurry to recharge it with refrigerant manage to find out leak points immediately and make a note of from where it leaks welding points and parts After having them repaired recharge refrigerant There are so many joints and sealed surfaces in a refrigerator accordingly quite a lot potential leak points do exist in the system In troubleshooting pay attention to those parts that are liable to leak check main connection points for oil seepage and tubing for cracks If there is no severer leak point charge the system with nitrogen and detect leak points with the commonly adopted method repair them evacuate charge the system with refrigerant and then turn on the refrigerator to make a test run 2 Too much refrigerant charged into the system ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE In case the amount of refrigerant charged into the system exceeds its nominal capacity the superfluous refrigerant will of course take some space of the evaporator thus reducing its heat dissipation area and hence the refrigerating efficiency of the system The abnormal phenomena caused by this reason are as follows the gas suction and exhaust pressures are generally higher than their respective normal values the temperature of its condenser is higher and the electric current of the compressor rises loose frost forms on the eva
29. porator the refrigerator temperature drops slowly and frost appears on the gas return tube b In case excessive refrigerant has been charged the liquid refrigerant that cannot evaporates in the evaporator will return to the compressor and thus a phenomenon of liquid striking will occur The liquid refrigerant evaporates and effervesces as soon as it flows into the refrigerating oil at the bottom of compressor If the condition is severe foams will fill all over inside the compressor housing and be sucked by the piston causing damage to the components of compressor REMEDY ccording to the operating procedures it is mandatory to turn the machine off and everal minutes later open the refrigerant charging tube and let the refrigerant escape om it replace the dry filter recharge refrigerant after evacuating and then seal the harging port 3 There is air left in the refrigerating system ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE residual air in the refrigerating system will reduce its refrigerating efficiency The rominent phenomena are the increase in its gas suction and exhaust pressures however the gas exhaust pressure will not exceed its rated value obvious increase in emperature in the segment from the compressor outlet to the condenser inlet Because here is air in the system both the gas exhaust pressure and temperature will rise and oreover the gas flowing sound is intermittent and obviously louder REMEDY After shut down for several minutes open

34. und produced by the normal circulation of refrigerant within the evaporator In case only the gas flowing sound can be heard and there is no water flowing sound this indicates that the refrigerant has already percolated If neither the flowing sound nor the gas sounds from the evaporator can be heard this means that the filter or capillary has been clogged 3 Touch and Feel a Feel the compressor when running its temperature should be generally less than 90 C in the normal state it may exceed 90 in case of running for a longer period of time b After the compressor has operated normally for 5 10 minutes ouch and feel the condenser the temperature of its upper part should be higher than that of its lower part or its right part is hotter than its left part depending on the type of condenser coil this indicates that the refrigerant is circulating If the condenser is not hot this means the leakage of refrigerant case the condenser radiates heat for only several minutes and then cools down this means that the filter and capillary have been clogged As for the forced air cooling condenser hot air will be blown out of it this means that the system is out of order Feel the filters temperature During the normal operation of refrigerating system temperature on the filter s surface should be a little higher than the ambient temperature if you touch it with your hand you will have a sense of slight heat case dew
35. yzed below 1 All refrigerant in the system has leaked out ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE Leak points in the refrigerating system have not been found and repaired timely thus resulting in the total escape of refrigerant There are two kinds of leakage 21 slow leakage for instance when we want to use a refrigerator that has been put out of quite a long time we find the leakage of refrigerant or in the course of its operation we have found that the refrigerator is gradually becoming not so cold and finally no refrigerating cab be achieved ii fast leakage in that case all the refrigerant will escape swiftly due to abrupt rupture of system tubing Symptoms of total leakage of refrigerant are mainly as follows the compressor can be started easily if there is no damage to the compressor parts and its operating current becomes low its gas suction pressure is high and discharge pressure is lower the gas discharge tube feels rather cold no sound of gas eruption from the liquid in the evaporator can be heard and no will gush out of the process tube if you cut it open after shutdown REMEDY Check the whole machine particularly those locations which are liable to leak After leak points have been found repair them or replace them with new parts according to specific circumstances then evacuate the system and finally charge refrigerant 2 Refrigerating system has been clogged a Clogged with Ice ANALYSIS OF TROUBLE The dryness treatment for
