Why Chiller Fridge Shut Down Shortly After Starting?
Due to market demand, various industries rely on commercial refrigerators. Regardless of the sector, users may encounter some minor issues while operating these units. This article specifically addresses the common problem of a commercial refrigerator shutting down shortly after starting. Please read the following details carefully.
Normal Scenario: When a commercial refrigerator shuts down shortly after starting, it may be a normal occurrence. This typically happens when the temperature setting is relatively high (resulting in lower cooling). Once the internal temperature of the refrigerator reaches the set level, the compressor automatically stops running. This is a standard operation where the compressor halts once the desired temperature is achieved and restarts when the temperature inside the unit rises again.
Abnormal Scenario: If the refrigerator stops running just a few minutes after starting, waits a few minutes, and then restarts only to stop again after a few seconds, it indicates an issue. This repetitive start-stop behavior suggests that there might be a fault in the compressor’s starter or the thermal overload protector may be damaged. In such cases, it is advisable to contact a technician for proper diagnosis and repair.
Additional Information: Reasons for Immediate Shutdown and No Cooling
Reason 1: Power Supply Issues
If the refrigerator shuts down immediately and doesn’t cool, the first thing to check is the power connection. A loose plug or a faulty socket can cause the compressor to stop functioning, potentially leading to compressor burnout. Ensure the plug is securely connected or replace the socket if needed.
Reason 2: Voltage Fluctuations
If the voltage is below the refrigerator’s rated requirement, the unit may not start properly and may emit a buzzing sound. To resolve this, use a voltage stabilizer to ensure the refrigerator receives a consistent power supply.
Reason 3: Faulty Thermostat
A malfunctioning thermostat can cause the refrigerator to shut down prematurely. To test this, unplug the refrigerator, set the thermostat to the maximum setting, and then plug it back in. If the compressor starts running normally, the thermostat is likely faulty and should be replaced.
