The main types of problems that cause your freezer not to freeze

If your freezer compressor motor starts briefly and immediately shuts off, your freezer in your refrigerator is probably not working because one of the compressor motors has failed. Usually, the cause of the failure is the natural wear and tear of the node parts in the process of prolonged operation or constant excessive load. To resume the operation of the refrigerator, the compressor unit must be replaced. Call a technician Vista Freezer Repair. 

Sometimes in electronically controlled models, the freezer does not freeze due to an air sensor failure. In this case, the compressor starts very rarely, and the temperature in the chamber “does not reach” the value set on the control panel. 

In the refrigerators equipped with the self-diagnostic system, in this case the error with the code is displayed. If a no-frost freezer does not freeze for this reason, this sensor can be found behind the back wall of the freezer near the evaporator.

Similarly, there is a failure of the thermostat in refrigerators with electromechanical control. To make sure that the malfunction is in the thermostat it is enough to short-circuit the two wires that lead to the node. 

If the compressor starts immediately, it is necessary to replace the part. Freezer Repair in Vista, CA will perform the replacement part. At the same time, you should be especially careful, and when manipulating the wires, disconnect the refrigerator from the mains, because there is a dangerous voltage on the terminals.

If the freezer does not freeze after defrosting, most likely you have damaged one of the circuits through which the refrigerant circulates and there was a gas leak. To get your refrigerator working again, you need to find and seal the leak and then refill the system with freon. Vista Freezer Repairs will refill the system with freon.

Sometimes in models with the Free Frost auto-defrost system, the freezer freezes food very weakly. The cause of this situation is often a stuck solenoid valve for switching the cold supply. 

Sometimes the valve gets jammed in such a position that the refrigerator does not freeze, but the freezer works. After replacing the part by Freezer Repair in Vista, CA specialists, the operation of the freezer and the entire refrigerator is restored. This breakdown is also common in other models of refrigerators.

If you find rust near the freezer and at the same time the freezing efficiency of the chamber is much lower, most likely there is a leak of refrigerant through a corroded steel element of the circulation system. Predominantly such troubles occur in the models with bottom freezer. 

In this case, due to clogging of the drainage channel of the “crying” evaporator, the water gets on the metal elements of the freezer circuit, which becomes the cause of formation of holes due to corrosion. At first, the refrigerator works and the freezer doesn’t, but after all the gas escapes, the refrigerator turns into a metal cabinet with a light. Vista Freezer Repair will diagnose and fix the problem on the owner’s premises.

Another common reason for a freezer not freezing, and no other symptoms are present. In this case, the control board has probably failed. Similar symptoms can occur in all models of refrigerators with electronic controls. Freezer Repair in Vista, CA will perform the replacement control board.
