Common Bottom Freezer Refrigerator Breakdowns:
Doesn't freeze
This problem can manifest itself in different ways: the refrigerator compartment does not cool food to the right temperature, the freezer has stopped freezing, or the temperature fluctuates in both compartments.
The causes may be different: thermostat malfunction, refrigerant leakage, capillary tube clogging, compressor failure, evaporator icing (if there is a No Frost system).
Professional diagnostics is required to determine the exact cause of the malfunction.
Leaks
If you notice puddles of water under or inside the refrigerator, it may indicate several problems.
First, there may be a clogged drainage hole.
Second, the problem could be in the defrosting system (for example, a faulty timer or heating element).
The leak could also be caused by a damaged door seal, which causes warm air to get in, causing condensation.
Noises
Extraneous noises, humming, clicking, vibration — all these are alarming signals. Most often the noise is caused by a faulty fan (in the refrigerator or freezer compartment), compressor or compressor start relay.
Sometimes the noise can be caused by improper installation of the refrigerator.
Compressor replacement
Compressor is one of the most important components of the refrigerator, responsible for refrigerant circulation. Its breakdown is a serious malfunction that requires replacing the compressor with a new one. This is a complicated procedure, which should be performed only by a qualified technician using special equipment.
Breakdown of the electronic control module
Modern models with a bottom freezer are equipped with electronic control modules, which are responsible for maintaining the set temperature, defrost control, indication and other functions.
Module malfunction can lead to various problems in operation, up to complete inoperability.
