It often happens that the temperature in the refrigerator is set once, and then it is actively used throughout the entire period of operation. However, few people think about the fact that different food products may have different storage conditions. If your refrigerator does not maintain the correct temperature, contact a Bosh appliance repair in Edmonton.
And while you can adjust the voltage level inside the refrigerator, not all refrigerators can adjust the temperature level inside the chamber; then, you can adjust the temperature setting. This can be done with the help of a thermostat, which in different models of refrigerators is installed either inside the chamber or outside. In turn, the temperature sensor in the refrigerator maintains the set temperature.
Signs of a broken temperature relay
A breakdown of the thermostat, like any other, has its own signs and manifestations. An experienced specialist in Bosch refrigerator repair will definitely identify the breakdown, namely on the presented manifestations and signs, the properties of which relate to the operation of the refrigerator at the moment.
What happened to the thermostat:
- the temperature inside the chamber is set higher or lower on the control panel – if the temperature inside the refrigerator chamber is set to a temperature that does not match the user setting, this is one of the most obvious signs that the thermostat is malfunctioning;
- the compressor turns on randomly and also turns off unexpectedly – if you notice that the compressor turning on and appearing does not match the temperature inside the refrigerator chamber, this also indicates that the thermostat is not working, it must be replaced;
- the refrigerator does not work for cooling, except perhaps for one of its chambers – one chamber will only fail if there are multiple thermostats, e.g. for the freezer or for the refrigerator. If only one thermostat is controlled together, the refrigerator will not work for cooling.
Suppose you notice that one or more of these manifestations are spontaneous for your refrigerator. In that case, you should call a technician to fix the problem related to the functioning of your refrigerator. Above all, however, it may be to check the thermostat at home.
How to check the refrigerator thermostat yourself, step-by-step instructions:
- disconnect the refrigerator from the mains – this is necessary to drain the device completely;
- take out all the products – prepare the device for defrosting.
- defrost the refrigerator – chambers must completely thaw, and the compressor must cool;
- put the thermometer in the refrigerator or in the freezer (ideally two thermometers at the same time) – a temperature thermometer to accurately determine the temperature inside;
- the temperature controller is set to a value – turn the knob until you hear a click;
- plug in the refrigerator and start it up – the doors of all chambers should be tightly closed during two hours of refrigerator operation;
- check the temperature on thermometers – the temperature in the refrigerator should not exceed 7 ° C, and in the freezing environment should not be lower than -22 ° C.
Temperature switch replacement procedure
Replacing the thermostat can be a simple procedure, especially if we are dealing with mechanics, but if we are dealing with an electronic temperature sensor, it is better to entrust all work and maintenance of the refrigerator to an experienced appliance repair technician. When performing repair work, you will need not only knowledge and understanding of where the thermostat is located but also the principle of its accurate diagnosis and understanding of the structure of the refrigerator to disassemble its body partially.
