Electronic goods that have an essential function in the household are refrigerators, many benefits are obtained when using refrigerators such as helping to keep various foods and drinks more durable, preventing the growth of bacteria, homeowners can plan meals within the next few days, and owners can save time to buy groceries or shop every day and many other benefits. There are many models of refrigerators that vary from simple to modern ones that are equipped with sophisticated features and can be owned by homeowners so that this refrigerator can contribute to a more aesthetic, luxurious and modern appearance of the room.

Over time, the refrigerator often experiences problems, one of which is that the refrigerator is not cold and obstacles like this often occur at any time so that such conditions are not expected by the owner, but in general, the problem of causing the refrigerator not to cool both for modern and simple refrigerators is the same. When the refrigerator does not provide adequate ability to cool it will be quite a problem and frustrating because the quality and freshness of all food and beverages wilt, spoil and spoil easily.

Using a refrigerator with regular maintenance is very necessary with an understanding and knowledge that is in accordance with the characteristics of the refrigerator itself so that it can maintain the quality of the refrigerator more durable, the refrigerator can work more optimally and efficiently. Here are some factors that are common problems with refrigerators failing to cool down, including:

Freon Problems

Similar to the air conditioner in the refrigerator room, it also needs freon, this freon is a chemical compound that functions to cool the temperature of the refrigerator, so freon is an important element. Freon in the refrigerator is converted to cold temperatures with a compressor engine, but long-term freon levels can leak in the system or the back area of the refrigerator does not give a heat effect, it means that the freon has run out and the way to check it is just holding the back near the grill, of course, this is what causes the refrigerator not to feel cold, so it needs to be refilled so that the cold temperature produced is maximized, but the capacity of the refrigerator can affect the availability of freon because a refrigerator that has a large size requires a lot of freon.

Condenser Coil Looks Dirty

Dust and other dirt that sticks to the condenser triggers the refrigerator condition to not cool down because the accumulation of all this dirt causes the condenser to be closed so that it reduces the efficiency of releasing heat and air circulation does not run properly, if not addressed immediately it will cause an increase in energy consumption more and more and wear and tear because the condenser plays an important role in the refrigerator component, so that such problems do not occur, clean the condenser coil located on the back in the form of stripes using a brush or vacuum cleaner which is done carefully so that damage does not occur. A clean condenser can work more optimally in dissipating heat effectively.

Faulty Evaporator Fan

Experiencing damage to the evaporator automatically cannot circulate the airflow into the refrigerator and the cooling process fails because the air distribution is uneven or not present in the refrigerator which causes the temperature to become hot even though the lamp is still on. An evaporator fan that does not spin is likely to be caused by damage such as dead or broken, so carefully check whether the fan is spinning or not, if not it should be replaced with a new component.

Damaged Thermostat

Controlling the temperature that plays an important role in a refrigerator in the cooling process is the presence of a thermostat, temperature rules set by the user that are set correctly and appropriately will provide a good cooling temperature, then make sure the temperature is set in the on position again so that the thermostat functions correctly, then choosing a temperature setting that suits the needs will reach the desired cooling level to be maintained. On the other hand, a thermostat that is not set correctly even though the setting knob is set to the maximum position makes the temperature of the refrigerator cannot cool and has the potential to cause all the food in it to be stale and damaged, it is important to check with a continuity test on the condition of the thermostat.

The Compressor is Damaged

The heart of the refrigerator in the cooling system, the most important thing is the compressor, how not if the signs of the compressor have begun to be damaged or not functioning optimally, the refrigerator will automatically not cool down, and even the refrigerator can turn off. In general, the noise from the compressor that is heard continuously, sometimes, and suddenly a louder sound appears is a sign that there is a damage, for that immediately overcome and make repairs but it needs to be remembered that to replace the compressor requires a more professional technician because this component has a fairly complicated level and requires some special tools.

Refrigerator Door Not Closed Tightly

Sometimes someone opens the door and takes the desired needs in the refrigerator after finishing picking it up often finds that the refrigerator door is not closed tightly again, it sounds easy and trivial but such incidents often occur, then habits like this will give problems to the performance of the refrigerator so that it cannot lower the temperature and the air produced can come out which will occur the temperature in the refrigerator becomes unstable which causes it not to cool.

Storing Hot Food and Drinks

The hot temperature of food or drinks placed in the refrigerator must be avoided which makes the temperature in the refrigerator decrease in efficiency in the cooling process and potentially the temperature in the refrigerator will not be as usual, it would be good to wait for food and drinks to cool down first after that they can be put back into the refrigerator this aims to maintain the balance of cold temperatures in the refrigerator.

Overload

Putting too many food, vegetables, drinks, in the refrigerator results in overload so the refrigerator will have difficulty cooling optimally, the need to arrange or arrange all the ingredients in the refrigerator neatly so that cooling is maintained, too full of contents of the refrigerator plus messy of course affects temperature regulation which causes uneven circulation of cold air.

Unstable Electrical Problems

Voltage fluctuations in electrical problems can affect the refrigerator compressor which causes the state of the refrigerator with the performance of the cooling device not running consistently and optimally, conditions like this if left will be damaged so it is important to check and ensure to maintain the electrical voltage supply to be more stable and efficient.

Power Outlet

Using an outlet as an energy source is used for various needs including the use of the refrigerator, but the owner sometimes does not realize that the outlet he wants to use is still functioning or damaged so that this will affect the cause of the refrigerator not cooling even though it has been turned on, it could be that the refrigerator cable installation is not suitable or does not fit at the outlet which causes electricity to not flow.

Relay Capacitors Starting to Break Down

The problem of a damaged relay start certainly affects the compressor so that the performance of the compressor does not run, the step that must be taken is to test the relay when there is a problem with the test results, it can be said that it fails or does not work and the refrigerator does not cool down to overcome the need to replace a new one.

Conclusion

Conduct an inspection. Regular monitoring, and maintenance can help prevent more severe damage problems, extend the life of the refrigerator and be more durable for use so that the cooling performance process reaches the optimal temperature, but it needs to be noted that when repairing yourself it turns out that it is not sure or has not been successful, you should be able to consult a professional technician.
