1. 6 common reasons why the refrigerator does not stop running

1.Thermostat failure: This is the most common reason, accounting for about 43% of failure cases. A malfunctioning thermostat can prevent your refrigerator from sensing the correct temperature.
2.Refrigerant leak: Insufficient system pressure will cause the compressor to continue to work. Such problems require professional repair.
3.Door seal aging: According to test data, poor sealing will cause the refrigerator to consume more than 30% more power.
4.Poor heat dissipation: Insufficient space for heat dissipation at the rear (it is recommended to maintain a distance of more than 10cm) will lead to a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency.
5.Putting too much food in at once: Storage exceeding 70% of the volume will significantly increase the compressor load.
6.Ambient temperature is too high: When the room temperature exceeds 32°C, some refrigerators will continue to operate.
| Fault type | probability of occurrence | maintenance cost | Urgency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thermostat failure | 43% | 150-300 yuan | ★★★ |
| Refrigerant issues | 27% | 300-600 yuan | ★★★★ |
| door seal problem | 18% | 80-150 yuan | ★★ |
2. Self-examination step guide
1.basic check: Confirm whether the refrigerator door is closed tightly and observe whether there are obvious gaps in the door seal.
2.Temperature test: Use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the refrigerator compartment. Normally it should be between 2-8℃.
3.listen to the sound: Record the start and stop cycles of the compressor. Under normal circumstances, the compressor should be stopped 2-3 times per hour.
4.Touch temperature: Check the temperature on both sides of the refrigerator. Overheating may indicate a cooling problem.
3. Professional maintenance suggestions
1.Within warranty period: Contact the official after-sales service directly to avoid dismantling the machine by yourself and voiding the warranty.
2.old refrigerator: It is recommended to evaluate the repair value of refrigerators that have been used for more than 8 years. The efficiency of new machines can be increased by more than 40%.
3.Emergency treatment: You can temporarily increase the temperature setting (but do not exceed 8℃) to reduce the number of door openings.
4. Preventive maintenance tips
• Clean condenser quarterly
• Check door seals for tightness annually
• Avoid placing hot food directly into the refrigerator
• Keep at least 10cm of ventilation space on your back
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the problem of the refrigerator not stopping may be a simple fault or may indicate a serious problem. Users are advised to take appropriate measures according to the specific situation and seek professional help when necessary.
