Why does the refrigerator Indesit, Atlant, Ariston, etc.

The refrigerator is not a silent appliance, therefore it makes sounds during operation. When you hear a quiet murmur of freon in the tubes or a rare “roar” of the compressor when turned on, this is not a breakdown, but the normal functioning of the systems. If the refrigerator cracks strongly, this is a sign of a problem, the elimination of which should not be put off indefinitely.

Important! Pay attention to when a crack appears – when you open or close the door, in order to accurately find the cause of the breakdown.

Consider the causes of cod in modern refrigerators and ways to eliminate this problem.

When cracking is not a problem

If the refrigerator is new, cracking is often not associated with technical problems. During operation, the system periodically heats up and cools down. The materials used by the manufacturer in the manufacture of appliances expand and contract when the temperature changes. This crackle disappears over time.

If several months have passed and the crackling has not stopped, it’s time to sound the alarm. It is especially worth reacting quickly when a previously quiet refrigerator began to abruptly make unusual sounds and crackles.

Just brought a refrigerator from the store, and it is cracking? Turn the back of the appliance towards you and remove the shipping bolts on the compressor – they create noise and can cause a serious malfunction. If the equipment is under warranty, the repair of the breakdown will be paid, because the case is not guaranteed and arises due to the negligence of the user. Instructions for dismantling the mount are indicated in the user manual.

Another non-critical case in which refrigeration equipment (CW) crackles during operation is an uneven floor in an apartment or incorrectly adjusted legs. Rearrange the equipment or twist the legs.

If all else fails, look for the cause of the failure in systems and nodes. Consider the possible causes of failure below.

The refrigerator is cracking: the main reasons

The following factors lead to cod:

1. Some fasteners are out of adjustment.
2. Have you been using HO for a long time? The compressor has broken down or lost its performance, which is why the noise started.
3. When switching temperature modes, plastic parts, as we said above, expand. Try to ensure a stable temperature regime in the chambers, do not open the door for a long time, do not put a lot of unrefrigerated products on the shelves.
4. The reason is the contact of parts with the motor tubes. The compressor may be touched by the rear grill and other components.
5. Deterioration of motor shock absorbers.
6. Poor capacitor mounting. The crack is accompanied by a noticeable vibration.

Electricity problems

Sometimes XO crackles and sparks at the same time. So, there are problems with the electrical component. What to look for first:

• outlet;
• power cord and plug;
• carry out wiring maintenance;
• control module – it may have burned out and makes a crackling sound (the refrigerator will stop working or the lights on the control panel will flash).

For models with No Frost

Models with No Frost are arranged a little differently than usual ones. Their design has a fan that circulates cooled air in the chambers. In the event of a mechanical or system failure, or if there is no annual defrost, ice may form on the blades of the cooler. Then there will be noise, and crackling, and rattle.

What to do? An urgent defrost is needed. No Frost models are defrosted for 24 hours. If, after turning on the network, the sound does not disappear, then there are other breakdowns in the system.

Replacing the plug

If you find that the cracking comes from the fork, it is worth replacing it with a new one. Do not attempt to repair this part by wrapping it with duct tape, or you will create a potential source of possible fire or electric shock in your home. In refrigerators of all brands – Indesit, Atlant, Ariston, Samsung and others – the plug is replaced depending on the type of plug:

• If the plug understands, then a broken or broken wire can be cut, stripped and installed inside the plug.

Important! The wire can only be mounted inside!

• RџSЂRё non-separable fork go for a new one. Do not attempt to cut the cord at the point of damage and twist it – for your safety, avoid such actions.

Choosing the Right Plug

Decide which plug you need – with or without grounding. The refrigerator requires plugs with a grounding contact. But, if you live in an older apartment building where the wiring doesn’t include a ground wire, don’t waste your money.

When choosing, pay attention to the electrical power – it should be higher than the power consumed by the refrigerator.

The replacement goes like this:

1. Strip the ends of the power cord from the side where the broken plug was screwed on.
2. Twist the cable tighter.
3. If technically possible, tin the ends with a soldering iron.
4. Disassemble the purchased fork. Near the hole where the cord passes, there is a clamp that secures the cable – then press the cord with it so as not to pull it out of the plug if you sharply pull the wire for an emergency shutdown of the equipment.
5. Screw the ends of the wire to the pins in the plug. You can insert the conductor into the hole and clamp it with a bolt, or twist it with a ring and clamp it with a seal under the washer. The choice of method depends on the design features of the plug.
6. Clamp the cable using the clamp provided.
7. Collect the fork.
8. Check the functionality of the device.

Important! If you are replacing a grounding plug, note or photograph the wires so you do not confuse the ground wire with others. As a rule, this is a yellow-green cable, but it is better to play it safe. Also note that the ground wire is always connected to the metal part of the refrigerator body.

If after replacing the fork the crackling stopped, you did everything right. And if all the reasons listed in the review are excluded and checked, and the sound does not disappear, contact the service center to find the true cause of the failure.
