A refrigerator is an important appliance in every home. Sometimes it happens that the equipment fails, which is why repairs are required. Malfunctions can also have a two-chamber refrigerator "Atlant". The refrigerator compartment does not work - this is a frequent occurrence. At the same time, the freezer functions as usual. The reasons for this may be different.
Features of the refrigerator and freezer
In order for everything to work without interruptions, you need to correctly configure the Atlant refrigerator, the instructions will help in this. The main part of the technique is the compressor, since it generates pressure, due to which the refrigerant moves towards the condenser. In the process, heat is generated, and you can verify this by touching the back of the device with your hand.
Then freon passes through the tubes and forms into gas. Power is needed to push the refrigerant. Then freon enters the evaporator and begins to boil. Formed vaporizer and is considered cold.
It is in the freezer that these tubes are located, and from here the cold enters the rest of the equipment. If there is no cold in the freezer, then it will not be in the rest of the equipment. Then the refrigerant enters the compressor, due to which the circulation is carried out. That is why the freezer in case of faults has a low temperature.
What should be checked?
It is necessary to properly configure the Atlant refrigerator. The manual includes important information on the operation of the equipment. To avoid damage to the device, you must pay attention to the following factors:
- the refrigerator doors should be tightly closed, therefore, everything that prevents it should be removed;
- if the room is hot, then in the freezer you need to set the indicator 2.5 (temperature about 16 degrees), and in the refrigerator - 2;
- when the “full noufrost” mode is set, the freezer fan may freeze, which is why the cold will not penetrate the refrigeration section.
First signs of trouble
If the “Atlant” two-compartment refrigerator has a malfunction (the refrigerator does not work), then this can happen for various reasons. Typically, the temperature in the freezer drops, and in the refrigerator compartment the atmosphere approaches +20 degrees. Another malfunction factor is the non-stop operation of the compressor. If it does not turn off periodically, it overheats.
If the Atlant refrigerator does not freeze , it is two-chamber, and the first signs of malfunctions also appear, then it must first be thawed. After a day, the device can be turned on again. In some cases, it functions normally, and then the help of a specialist is not required. Otherwise, you must call the master, who will identify the problem and repair the Atlant refrigerator. Two-chamber or single-chamber - it does not matter, any model can usually be repaired.
Capillary tube
This part is located in the evaporator circuit. If foreign substances get inside, the freezer will function, but the refrigerator compartment will not. Typically, chips or oil penetrate the tube. As a result, Freon cannot work, and therefore it does not reach the freezer. If the cause of the defect lies precisely in this, then you must urgently call the wizard to prevent breakage due to the load.
Some owners cope with the problem on their own by tapping the capillary tubes to knock out the trash. In some cases, it saves. But the master cleans the capillary system, changes the filter, carries out the evacuation of the evaporation systems and refills the refrigerator with freon.
temperature sensor
The Atlant dual-compartment refrigerator may have a lot of problems. Does the refrigerator not work? This is often associated with water and food entering the enclosure. Often, a temperature defect is associated with factory defects. Moreover, it does not appear immediately, but after a while.
If the cause of the equipment failure is a sensor malfunction, then a new device must be installed. Repair should be done as quickly as possible, since the operation period of the device is reduced due to the intensity of the compressor. The procedure for replacing equipment does not take much time.
Evaporative system and compressor
Malfunctions can have different two-chamber refrigerator "Atlant". Does the refrigerator not work? This may occur due to leakage. This is usually observed when cracks appear in aluminum or copper pipes. Freon enters the tubes and exits through the holes. Because of this, no cold is formed. As a result, the pressure in the compressor has a negative effect on the operation of the device as a whole. This causes wear and tear or equipment damage. Cracks form in the old appliance.
Due to the failure of one of the compressors, all Atlant refrigerator models break down. Two-chamber devices have 2 compressors, and therefore one may fail. Defects lie in wear, marriage, installation of low-quality equipment.
It is advisable for a specialist to entrust repair of equipment, since he still has more knowledge and experience in restoring the operation of equipment. First, a diagnosis is performed that allows you to identify deficiencies, and then perform the elimination of defects. Many representatives of repair companies make diagnostics and repairs right at home, which is very convenient. Professional repairs guarantee long-term operation of the refrigerator, so do not neglect the services of qualified craftsmen.
