The water in the refrigerator or under it - this is not always a cause for panic. Before you call the Wizard or do repairs yourself, should thoroughly investigate, what is the cause of failure. Quite possibly, that solved it will be easier and cheaper, than you think.
The water at the bottom of the refrigerator
If water collects at the bottom of the unit under boxes for fruits, it does not always speak of serious damage to the unit. Very often, the problem is quite possible to remove yourself.
To begin, find out, defrosting system which is installed in your refrigerator compartment. In modern units use a system of two types - drip and No Frost. In models with a dropping defrost evaporator system located behind the rear wall of the refrigerating compartment. During the cooling cycle the rear wall is covered with frost. When the desired temperature is reached, the compressor is switched off, frost begins to thaw, and moisture flows into the drain at the bottom, where the hose enters the container to evaporate.
model, equipped with a No Frost system, They do not need to defrost, they do not have the evaporator in the refrigeration chamber, and its cooling takes place due to the freezer evaporator. The fan blows air through the evaporator, where it is cooled, and then supplied to the products.
If the water has appeared at the bottom of the refrigerator with a drip system, the reason may be clogged drain, that outputs the meltwater. Clean it is possible by means of a cotton swab and syringe, and if it is clogged drain hose, can be gently used wire. Defrost the chiller is necessary in the case of, If the drain hose peremerz. If this did not happen, cleaning can be carried out without defrost.
The appearance of the water at the bottom of the refrigerator with a No Frost system usually indicates a fault in the module defrost. In this case, defrost the freezer evaporator does not occur, he frosting, its performance falls. To compensate for this, compressor starts to work harder, which may lead to its failure.
defrost module nodes can not be repaired and need replacement specialist.
Condensation on walls
The appearance of drops or traces of water on the walls of the refrigerator compartment with a dropping defrosting system - a normal physical process. Moisture condenses on the rear wall in communication with the, that she was the evaporator, cooling the refrigerating compartment.
If on the walls accumulate a lot of moisture and frost formed, it may already indicate a malfunction or improper operation of its.
A large amount of water on the walls and bottom of the refrigerator may be due to clogging of the drainage holes. His treatment usually eliminates the problem.
Cause excessive condensate accumulation may also be a violation of the rules stored product. It is impossible to put into a cooling chamber liquid products without cover - intense evaporation of the liquid leads to the formation of condensate and ice.
When setting for storage of hot or warm food in the temperature difference occurs, which also leads to a condensate separation.
The cause of the water and ice from the rear wall may be depressurized and the refrigerating compartment due to wear or damage to the rubber door seal. Warm air, entering the refrigerator, increases moisture condensation. The problem is solved by replacing gum.
The water near the refrigerator
If the reason is still in the refrigerator, first make, that it will not shut down and defrosted. If everything is in order, You can begin to determine the cause.
In models with dropping defrosting may extend drainage pipe drain, due to which the water, rather than fall into the special container, flowing on the floor. To solve the problem, it suffices to place the handset on.
If the tube is not moved, pay attention to the liquid reservoir. maybe, the cause of his injury, because of which water flows. In this case, the tank will have to change.
Water under the fridge No Frost system appears mainly due to the breakage of the evaporator heater. The only possibility to fix it - Replacement Heater. Conduct such repairs must be a qualified technician. Therefore, please contact service center, and a specialist to replace the faulty part in front of your home and provide a guarantee for the work performed.
Operation Tips
Do not install the refrigerator close to the wall, leave a gap 10-15 cm, so as not to interfere with the cooling of the condenser. It is not recommended to put the machine near heaters. Also, do not set a maximum value on the thermostat. Special effects you do not feel, and the compressor will operate with an increased load.
For models with dropping defrosting system, do not forget to periodically clean the condensate drain. When defrosting do not remove the ice with sharp objects - so you can easily pierce the tube evaporator.
