Refrigerator motor quickly disconnects | Here are the most famous reasons to know with many tips

There are many problems that any housewife may encounter in her home, especially with electrical appliances; Among the problems that you may encounter is that the refrigerator motor separates quickly and causes the corruption of many of the contents of the refrigerator such as vegetables, fruits, etc., and there are many reasons that lead to a failure in the refrigerator motor; Together, we will learn about the most famous of those reasons and how to preserve the refrigerator from these problems.

Refrigerator motor quickly disconnects

In the beginning, if a technical malfunction occurs in any of the home appliances, the first thing to do is to hire a technician to check the device and discover the reason that led to this malfunction to fix it correctly so that the situation does not escalate and get worse, and there are several other simple problems that can be fixed by yourself, One of the most common problems that you may face is that the refrigerator motor works for seconds and disconnects repeatedly throughout the day, and the refrigerator stops cooling because the refrigerator motor is a pump that distributes the refrigerant gas “Freon gas” inside all parts of the refrigerator to do its job.

There are many reasons that cause this, we will get to know them, and learn how to protect the refrigerator motor from common minor faults and what is the correct action to do if the refrigerator malfunction is not simple and cannot be fixed by yourself.

Reasons for disconnecting refrigerator motor

There are five main reasons why the refrigerator motor disconnects quickly, and they are as follows:

1. Malfunction of the thermostat "thermostat"

The most common reason for disconnecting the refrigerator motor is the thermostat or the thermostat. It is the part responsible for sending the signal to the refrigerator motor to start pumping Freon gas at a certain temperature. It is the degree to which the internal refrigerator temperature is higher than normal; If the refrigerator temperature is high or abnormal due to a thermostat malfunction, those signals that force the motor to pump gas will not be sent, and cause the refrigerator motor to disconnect quickly or the refrigerator motor to run for seconds and disconnect.

Try to adjust the temperature of the refrigerator from the thermostat and you will notice the difference, but if there is no change, there is a reason to change the thermostat, and a technician must be hired to discover and repair the thermostat malfunction.

2. Electricity connection

The second problem that may cause the refrigerator motor to disconnect quickly is electricity; It is possible that the power plug is damaged, or the refrigerator cable itself is damaged; To ensure that the electricity reaches the refrigerator correctly, a multimeter or a screwdriver can be used.

3. Dirty refrigerator coils

The third reason for disconnecting the refrigerator motor, which causes the refrigerator motor to run for seconds and disconnect, is the problem of the accumulation of dirt and dust over the days, months and years of the refrigerator’s work on the inner coils and behavior around the refrigerator motor; The motor is affected and this dirt almost paralyzes its movement completely, which increases the temperature of the motor and cannot do its job well, so the motor windings must be cleaned from time to time using a soft brush or a dry cloth.

4. Ice accumulation in the cold room

Ice may accumulate in the cooling compartment, thicken inside the freezer, or even accumulate on the inner windings of the motor, causing the motor to separate quickly; To solve this problem, you must first disconnect the electricity from the refrigerator and start removing all the accumulated ice in those places. To facilitate cleaning the ice from the different places in the refrigerator, you can use a hair dryer to help you in that process; Especially in removing the ice accumulated on the rolls because it is difficult to reach.

5. Electronic problems

Electronic problems usually occur when the electricity to the refrigerator is suddenly cut off at home; To solve this problem, a technician must be used to check the refrigerator and discover the damaged capacitors and relays to replace them. There may be an electronic problem with the motor itself. A technician or specialist must also be used to check the motor, discover the cause of the malfunction, and repair it.

Tips for maintaining refrigerator motor

To maintain the refrigerator motor for as long as possible, you should follow the following tips:

 Maintaining refrigerator temperature

Just like air conditioners, the temperature should be set to between 37-40 Fahrenheit, and the freezer to keep at 5 Fahrenheit to keep new refrigerator parts from being consumed quickly.

 Covering food properly

The refrigerator motor helps to expel moisture from inside the refrigerator, and when you cover food and place it inside closed dishes, you preserve the energy of the motor consumed in expelling moisture.

 Keep your fridge full of food

You might think that filling the fridge with food might cause the fridges motor to disconnect quickly or cause one of the common malfunctions, but on the contrary, the foods help each other to transfer the cold between them; But if there are empty spaces inside the refrigerator, the motor will work more efficiently to cover those empty spaces.

 Space for the refrigerator

You must allocate a space for the refrigerator to keep it away from other appliances that cause it to overheat and cause the motor to malfunction.

 Open the doors less

The refrigerator door should not be opened for long periods of time, because this allows warm air to enter the refrigerator, so the motor works for an additional time to compensate for the cold air that was lost, and this may be one of the reasons for disconnecting the refrigerator.
