Instructions for setting the temperature in a two-chamber refrigerator Minsk-10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 18

The desired temperature in the refrigerator compartment and the low-temperature compartment is achieved by turning the thermostat knob to the appropriate position. The set temperature mode is maintained automatically.

The design of the pallet of refrigerators (except for the refrigerator "Minsk-13") allows you to additionally regulate the temperature in the refrigerator. To set a lower temperature in the refrigerating chamber, open the damper, to set a higher temperature, close it.

A similar role is played by damper 24 on the frame of the low-temperature compartment in the Minsk-12, Minsk-12E, and Minsk-18 refrigerators.

Fully open the control dampers before putting the refrigerators into operation.

Temperature control in a two-chamber refrigerator Minsk using a regulator

• Find a temperature controller. The regulator must be pre-set with the arrow pointing to the center. On the right you can see the word "warmer", while on the left you will see the word "colder".
• Look to the right and left of the regulator. Next to the words "colder" and "warmer" you will see a series of numbers.Setting the knob to 1 in the direction of cold will slightly lower the temperature in the refrigerator, while setting the knob to 1 in the direction of heat will slightly increase the temperature.
• According to the measured temperature in the refrigerator, move the knob by 1 towards “warmer” or “colder”. Check the temperature again after 5-8 hours to see if the adjustment has had an effect on the temperature change. If you don't notice enough change, turn the knob to the next number.
• Keep turning the knob and measuring the temperature until you get the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.
• Make a mark on the knob to indicate the ideal setting. If the control moves to the side, you will know how to return it to the desired value.

Instructions for setting the temperature in a two-chamber refrigerator Minsk-126

The desired temperature regime in the refrigerator is set by turning the thermostat knob I until the selected division coincides with the pointer. Division I corresponds to the highest temperature in the chambers, division 7 to the lowest temperature. This ensures smooth adjustment of the mode.

The temperature in the refrigerating chamber depends on the degree of loading of the refrigerator, the ambient temperature, the frequency of opening the doors and the temperature. counterclockwise - increase.

The optimum temperature for storing food in the refrigerator compartment is 4-5°C (average, see footnote in section 2).At this temperature, rational energy consumption and proper preservation of products are ensured. When setting a lower temperature freezing of products in the refrigerator compartment is possible; a rapid increase in snow cover; an increase in energy consumption.

The temperature in the freezer of the refrigerator is automatically set and constantly maintained at minus 18 ° C and below. At this temperature, you can store frozen products produced by the industry, as well as freeze fresh products intended for long-term storage.

What malfunctions occur during the operation of refrigerators?

Their list is rather small, since the products of the Atlant brand are famous for their reliability. However, it may break, and then our help will be needed.

Pay attention to the refrigeration unit if:

1. He began to freeze badly;
2. Began to leak;
3. Ice and a “snow coat” actively began to form on the back wall or evaporator;
4. The sound of the electric motor has changed (there is a strong noise, rattling or knocking);
5. The display does not work;
6. The red indicator light is on;
7. The door closes poorly due to a loose seal.

Causes of breakdowns and ways to eliminate them

Several factors usually lead to the deterioration of the device or its complete failure. First of all, we are talking about natural wear and tear. This is especially true for models whose “age” exceeds 10 years. Sometimes our craftsmen had to repair refrigeration units 20-30 years old! It should be understood that components have their own service life, after which they become unable to fully perform their task.

Play

Another significant factor is violation of operating conditions. It is not recommended to leave the refrigerator at extremely low temperatures in the room, place it near heating appliances or close to furniture / walls. Failure to comply with at least one recommendation may entail the need to repair the Minsk refrigerator.

1. Faulty start relay

You can suspect such a problem if there is no internal lighting and the compressor does not turn on. In some cases, attempts to start the motor may be observed, but immediately after turning off, a characteristic click will be heard. This triggered a relay, which, due to its incorrect operation, “detects” an emergency and forcibly turns off the electric motor.

You can fix the breakdown by installing a new start-up relay, which will cost from 1500 to 2500 rubles in our service center.

2. Blockage of the capillary system

In addition to the refrigerant, machine oil constantly circulates through the capillary pipeline. When it burns and begins to thicken, there is a settling of side components - paraffins. They significantly narrow the lumen in the capillary tubes, gradually completely blocking it.

The result is an overly active operation of the motor, which tries to create optimal pressure in the pipeline and reach the set temperature.

Repair activities are carried out by the masters of our service center using special equipment for cleaning the system. When the clearance in the tubes is restored, the specialists begin to fill the pipeline with freon and check (replace) the oil.The cost of the entire range of services when ordering from us varies between 2000-3000 rubles.

3. Electric motor does not work

Such a breakdown is characterized by the operability of the internal illumination. In some cases, an increased temperature inside the refrigerator can be recorded when the motor is not running at all.

If the compressor tries to turn on, but after a couple of seconds it stops functioning again and gets very hot, then this is a good reason to suspect a short circuit in its winding.

Too low temperatures inside the unit are due to the fact that the electric motor is running without interruption. He "sets" himself the task of creating sufficient pressure in the injection tube. This situation is typical for models with a long service life.

4. Breakdown of the thermostat

There are 3 types of malfunction of this module:

Infrequent activation of the compressor. A faulty sensor transmits information to it that the temperature in the compartments has reached the norm. Accordingly, there is no need to include it in the work. In fact, the temperature inside rises, gradually reaching room values;
Electric motor refuses to start

It does not matter what position the thermostat knob is in. The breakdown is caused by an open circuit, which sends signals from the thermostat to the compressor;
Motor running continuously

This situation not only significantly increases power consumption, but also wears out the unit prematurely. The thermostat data about the elevated temperature inside the chamber does not correspond to the real state of affairs, however, it is read by the electric motor as real.

Instructions for setting the temperature in a two-chamber refrigerator Minsk-12E / 12EM / 15M / 16 / 16C / 16AC / 16E / 16EC

The desired temperature in the refrigerating chamber is set by turning the thermostat knob 2 until the selected division is aligned with pointer 3. Division 1 corresponds to the highest temperature in the chamber, division 8 to the lowest temperature. This ensures smooth adjustment of the mode. The symbol marked on the thermostat knob indicates the smooth adjustment of the mode.

The optimal mode in the refrigerator chambers is set depending on the ambient temperature.

In the refrigerator compartment, none of the temperatures should be below 0 or above 10°C. — 2. The time for the refrigerator to enter the mode before the first stop of the compressor is no more than 24 hours (depending on the quantity and initial temperature of the products, as well as on the ambient temperature). — 3. The set temperature mode in the refrigerator is maintained automatically.

The temperature of minus 18°C ​​and below is automatically set and constantly maintained in the low-temperature chamber of the refrigerator. This temperature can be used to store frozen food produced by the industry, in addition, it can freeze fresh food products intended for storage. The daily rate of freezing is not more than 2.5 kg. Most often frozen meat products. To do this, fresh meat should be tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.

Place fresh products intended for storage at temperatures above 0°C in the refrigerator compartment 18 and on the door panel 16. Keep in mind that the temperature on the upper shelves of the refrigerator is always higher than on the lower ones.
