[Refrigerator defrosting tips] How to quickly defrost the refrigerator, what to do if the refrigerator does not cool after defrosting
Refrigerator defrosting tips
1. Find some cloth heads (or newspapers) and spread them under the refrigerator door. When the frost melts, there will be ice water flowing out, so as to absorb the melted ice water.
2. Turn off the freezer function of the refrigerator (set the cooling switch to 0), and unplug the refrigerator.
3. Place the freezer box of frozen food in a cool place, and place some newspapers under the freezer box.
4. Use a lunch box or a small basin to hold some hot water and place it in the freezer to speed up the falling off of the ice cubes. In the middle, check whether any ice cubes fall into the lunch box. If it is found that it has changed, it should be replaced. Cool hot water, or use something to stand on top of the lunch box to prevent ice cubes from falling in.
5. The most effective defrosting tip for each use: turn on the electric fan, adjust to the highest wind speed, and blow straight at the ice layer in the freezer, and soon you will see the ice cubes fall off .
6. Clean up the ice cubes that fall off in time, clean up the freezer, and break off the ice cubes with appropriate force at some corners. The water must be wiped clean, otherwise frost will form immediately after cooling.
How to quickly de-icing a refrigerator
Now most of the refrigerators in users’ homes are direct-cooling refrigerators, and the unavoidable problem of refrigeration refrigerators is the Frost, the freezer compartment of many users who do not take long to clean the refrigerator is terrible, and there will be a thick layer of frost on the evaporator. The frost in the refrigerator not only wastes the interior space of the refrigerator, but also hinders the heat exchange on the surface of the evaporator, which has a negative impact on the cooling effect. The thicker the frost layer, the worse the cooling effect. So when there is a lot of frost in the refrigerator, defrosting is very necessary.
Because the evaporator of the refrigerator is relatively fragile, and the frost in the refrigerator is still very strong when it is just shut down. At this time, we must not use a lot of strength to harden it. Leave it for a period of time, wait for the frost layer to soften, and then gently shovel it off with the included defrosting shovel.
Of course, it is time-consuming to wait for the refrigerator to defrost. Therefore, the author also uses the method that many friends often use, that is, using hot water steam to speed up the defrosting speed. The effect is still very good. I have seen some friends use hair dryers before, but I still do not recommend this, because it will damage the plastic accessories in the freezer to some extent.
Using hot water steam can speed up the defrosting speed, and the thicker frost layer can be easily removed with a defrosting shovel after softening. When defrosting with steam, if the frost layer is too thick, you can choose to use several pots of hot water together, because the temperature inside the refrigerator itself is very low, and the temperature of the hot water will drop quickly. A basin of hot water, I believe that the speed of defrosting will be faster. The author only used one basin when defrosting, which took a lot of time. In addition, if you use a metal water basin, remember to put a cloth on the bottom to prevent the refrigerator from being damaged by the high temperature.
There will be water stains in the refrigerator after defrosting, be sure to wipe it dry
After defrosting and cleaning the surface of the refrigerator, use a rag to dry the inside of the refrigerator, and then Leave it for about 20 minutes before plugging in and running, which can avoid electric shock due to water inside the refrigerator coming into contact with the circuit board, and at the same time, it can also prevent the water inside from freezing again after power-on, which is not worth the loss.
Does the refrigerator need to be disabled for winter?
Because of the low temperature in winter, some users will choose to disable the refrigerator in winter. In fact, it is not necessary. If the refrigerator does not operate for a long time, some internal parts will be aged. It is faster, and the outside temperature is not as stable as a refrigerator or freezer after all, which is not good for food preservation. Second, due to the low temperature in winter, the refrigerators are generally operated in lower gears, and the power consumption can be reduced by about half compared with summer, and users do not have to worry about additional electricity bills. Therefore, it is not recommended to disable the refrigerator in winter.
How to “big clean” the refrigerator?
In winter, because the temperature is low, food can be kept fresh for a while without spoiling, so it is very suitable to choose a thorough cleaning of the refrigerator in winter. Many users are used to cleaning the refrigerator only once a year. It is recommended to clean it at least once every 3 months. At the end of the year, you can choose to clean it once. Usually, it is mainly simple scrubbing and defrosting. It is not good for the preservation of food and the use of refrigerators.
First of all, before cleaning, we must cut off the power of the refrigerator and take out the food inside. We can put some frozen food together, which is conducive to keeping warm in a short time. If the surface is not cleaned for a long time, there will be obvious stains
There are also sundries in the gap of the door handle of the refrigerator. Wipe with a rag dipped in warm water. If you encounter some oily stains that are difficult to wipe, you can choose a little detergent. When scrubbing, be careful not to put the glass tray just taken out of the freezer directly into the water, so as not to cause uneven heat and cold. Broken glass.
It should also be noted that do not use detergent to scrub the door seal, but must use clean water, because chemical detergent will be somewhat corrosive.
The surface of the box can be wiped with a rag dipped in warm water. Some sundries and stains in the fine seams can be cleaned with cotton swabs. For oily stains that are difficult to clean, a small amount of detergent can be used.
It should also be noted that do not directly rinse the refrigerator with water. After all, the refrigerator is an electrical appliance, so it is easy to damage the insulation performance of the electrical appliance. After cleaning, be sure to dry the water with a rag, and then check. Check whether the power cord and plug are wet to prevent electric shock when reused.
What should I do if the refrigerator does not cool after de-icing
1. When the refrigerator does not cool, we should first check whether the power connection is normal , check whether the light in the refrigerator is normal, you can also test with an electric pen.
2. If the power connection is normal, you can monitor whether the compressor is working normally. The compressor will emit a small motor vibration sound when it is working normally. When the high-pressure output buffer pipe in the compressor is broken, or the screw fixing the pipe is loose, the high-pressure pipe does not exhaust, and the low-pressure pipe does not inhale, so although the compressor is running, it does not cool.
Solution: Open the case and replace the buffer tube with a new one, or tighten the screws.
3. If the compressor can run normally, then you can check whether the refrigerant in the refrigeration system is used up. Listen for the sound of water flowing. If there is no sound. It means that the refrigerant in the refrigeration system has been used up or leaked. It could also be that the compressor is incapacitated.
Solution: If there is a system leak, find the leaking part of the system, after welding repair, pressure test, and evacuation are qualified, add refrigerant to a certain amount, usually according to the evaporator full of frost or the refrigerator. up to the rated temperature.
4. Blockage of the capillary tube of the refrigerator will also cause the refrigerator not to cool. When the capillary tube in the refrigerator is blocked, the refrigerant cannot enter the evaporator to absorb heat, and the temperature of the refrigerator remains high. Different types of refrigerators have different cooling conditions. If the refrigerator is of the intermediate cooling type and there is no ice making failure, you can check whether the fan of the refrigerator is working normally: open the refrigerator door, and press the button on the edge of the box with your hand (this button controls the indoor lighting and stops the fan when the door is opened). work), check whether the fan is working, the fan does not work will also cause the refrigerator not to cool.
Solution: The capillary or dryer is blocked, and the outlet is hot. For this reason, it must be removed and removed! In addition, household refrigerators generally have two types: direct cooling and indirect cooling. Direct cooling refers to The purpose of cooling is achieved by direct heat exchange between the evaporator (cooling pipe) and the freezing and refrigerating chambers; the inter-cooling type means that the evaporator (cooling pipe) is separated from the freezing and refrigerating chambers, and a fan blows cold air into the freezing and refrigerating chambers. Refrigerator for cooling purposes.
