Refrigerator won't stop working. Reasons and how to avoid it?

Refrigerators don't all work the same way. Larger appliances require longer periods of operation. If you notice your appliance running more frequently than normal, you should have it checked. This article will help you identify the things you should check.

The refrigerator won't stop working.

There are several reasons why the refrigerator may not stop working, and in order to know the main reason, refrigerator operation You should always keep the following things in mind:

Check the ambient temperature

If the room temperature is higher than required, it may need to operate for longer periods than necessary. Make sure the refrigerator is not near a heat source. Please change the location of the refrigerator if this is the problem.

Opening the refrigerator door for a long time

To maintain a constant internal temperature, do not open the refrigerator door unnecessarily often or leave it open for long periods of time. Make sure the door is tightly closed and that there is no food or other objects preventing it from closing properly.

The device is newly installed or shipped with stock.

The device will take a long time to reach the required temperature, when charging with stock or installing it again, and this is normal, there is no need to worry

Avoid placing hot food inside the appliance.

The refrigerator takes a long time to reach the desired internal temperature. When placing a large amount of hot food in it, the food must be allowed to cool completely outside and then placed in the refrigerator.

Check the door seals for gaps, tears, or cracks.

The cold air inside the refrigerator must be properly insulated from the outside temperature. The door should be carefully inspected for leaks to ensure there are no tears between it and the cabinet. If any defects are found, the door seals should be adjusted by gently pulling them away from the door by hand.

If you notice that the refrigerator door is not closing properly, clean the door seal using a sponge or soft cloth and lukewarm water.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning products to protect the seals from damage.

If the seal is found to be cracked or loose, it must be repaired or replaced. If you know this is the problem, contact an authorized service agent.

Check the temperature setting.

The refrigerator temperature may be set lower than the desired temperature. The desired temperature is 4°C to 5°C, and about -18°C for the freezer.

If you notice any abnormality in the temperature setting, it should be adjusted.

Check for snow accumulation

Check your refrigerator's freezer and remove any ice buildup. Ice accumulated on the inside of the refrigerator can cause it to malfunction and take longer to reach the desired temperature. Therefore, you must remove the ice from the freezer manually.

Beko refrigerators feature the 3 Zone No Frost function and NeoFrost™ technology, the Twin Cooling settings are automatically adjusted to defrost.

It is important to note that setting the refrigerator to the automatic defrost setting may affect its performance and cause it to operate for longer periods than normal.

Make sure the quick freeze feature is working.

Many refrigerators feature a fast freeze function. When activated, the refrigerator operates longer. If not manually deactivated, the Fast Freeze function will automatically deactivate after 8 hours or when the freezer reaches the desired temperature.

Placing the refrigerator in the sun or in a poorly ventilated area

Often, users place the refrigerator opposite a window to ensure it is in a well-ventilated area. However, it may be exposed to sunlight, and the heat melts the refrigerant. This results in the compressor running continuously to compensate for the cooling loss caused by the increased temperature.

Therefore, we notice that the refrigerator motor continues to operate continuously for a period of up to 6 hours or more, depending on the surrounding environment.

The refrigerator motor normally shuts off at least once every 60 minutes.

The motor also takes a long time to operate in the summer, or if it is in a place with poor ventilation.

The black back grid in the refrigerator is called the condenser coil.

The condenser in the refrigerator works to reduce the temperature.

The refrigerant (Freon) receives the hot refrigerant coming from the compressor and expels the heat to the surrounding environment. If dust and dirt accumulate on the condenser coils, this will reduce operational efficiency.

In other words, it won't absorb heat from the refrigerant, so the refrigerator will have to work harder to get rid of the heat. If the coils are covered in dust or dirt, the compressor will work harder.

Always try to provide the necessary cooling to keep food in the refrigerator

Refrigerator door gasket damaged

The refrigerator door gasket, also known as the door gasket, is damaged, causing refrigerant to leak from the refrigerator. The air in the surrounding environment will enter the refrigerator, reducing the cooling inside the refrigerator. The thermostat will operate continuously, and the compressor will continue to operate to compensate for the loss of cooling.

Ignoring this problem can lead to many problems, including spoiled food, overheating of the refrigerator motor, and increased electricity bills.

 Interior lighting is constantly on.

One reason your deep freezer motor may be running for a long time is that the interior light doesn't turn off after the door is closed, which is a waste of cooling.

Turning on the lights generates heat, and the heat produced consumes the amount of refrigerant produced through the refrigeration circuit, forcing the compressor to work overtime to compensate for the loss of refrigerant.

To check if the light is working properly after closing the door, press the refrigerator door switch with your hand. If the light continues to work, replace the refrigerator door switch.

The refrigerator thermostat is damaged.

The function of the thermostat is to maintain a stable temperature inside the refrigerator at the desired operating temperature. This means regulating the compressor's on-off cycles, thus protecting the compressor from the dangers of continuous operation. Therefore, the thermostat is the main control unit, and its function is to protect the compressor.

So if there is a problem with the thermostat, you may not be able to turn off the power to the compressor, and the compressor will continue to run continuously. If the thermostat bulb is misplaced, or the thermostat is set to a temperature that is too cold, this will cause the compressor to run for a long time.

Evaporator fan motor failure

If the refrigerator is running continuously and does not turn off, the evaporator fan motor may be damaged. Every refrigerator has a number of coils called the evaporator, and in general, the evaporator.

The evaporator fan motor circulates cool air from the coils through the cabinet. If the fan is faulty and not working, the cool air will not reach the refrigerator cabinet, and thus the compressor will continue to run for long periods of time and the refrigerator will not shut down.

Electronic board problem

The reason the refrigerator won't turn off could be due to a problem with the electronic board. Its function is to determine the number of times the ice is defrosted. If there is a malfunction in the electronic board, the refrigerator will not defrost, and ice will accumulate on the evaporator coil.

Refrigerant deficiency

If the refrigerant charge is low, it results in less than desired cooling efficiency, causing the compressor to operate for long periods without shutting down to compensate for the lack of refrigerant.

At the end of the article, we talked about a refrigerator that doesn't stop working, and we mentioned the reasons that cause the refrigerator to run continuously without stopping.
