    The condenser coils are important for dissipating the heat.

    Correct. Freon is used as a coolant. There are different blends according to the application.

    Visiting family and their freezer isn't freezing. Check the condenser coils: they weren't as dirty as I expected. Cleaned the coils about 3 days ago, so I assume it's been enough time for the evaporator coils to frost over. Then checked the evaporator coils yesterday and only the bottom coil is frozen or covered in frost. Your video explained that if only part of the coils are frosted over, then the sealed system has developed a restriction or leak. This is what I believe the problem is, not only because of this video, but also due to a response I received from another youtuber. Would you concur?

    If the evaporator is froze up you may have a defrost problem, or if the shelves are the evaporator and are completely covered with frost they will not be as efficient and will need to be defrosted before the freezer will work properly. Another thing that will make the unit run a lot is if you have a Freon leak and only part of the evaporator coil is getting frost. If all of the components of the freezer are working you may have a Freon leak and the unit may not be worth repairing.

    The compressor should cycle off at some point. The normal recommended freezer temperature is around 0 degrees f. If the freezer is at or around 0 you can try and turn down the thermostat to see if it will shut off. The thermostat contacts may be stuck or it may just be out of calibration. It is possible to be cold enough to freeze the food but not cold enough to cycle off the thermostat.

  • @jaypriday2036

    My upright freezer's evaporator coils are not cooling/frosting. The copper tube that leads up to them, has frost on it. It's just not getting to the coils. The freezer had been unplugged for a year, but was working fine at the time. Just didn't need it. The compressor is working and the fan by the coils is working. The cold, just isn't making it to the coils. I'm wondering if it might be the thermistor, the temperature sensor or the control panel. I've been told each of the 3. Also, I've seen a video, where it's suggested that the system may have developed a leak. Any suggestions?

    Our freezer doesn't have a condenser. I removed the side cover and saw just a compressor and a fan. Nothing else. The fan and the compressor always start and stop simultaneously. Could the compressor work as a condenser too, or the condenser is located somewhere else? Nice and simple video...

    • @7rjdrummerman
      @7rjdrummerman 8 лет назад +1

      No, it either has a condenser coil above the compressor or some are built into the walls of the freezer but it has to have both a condensing coil and evap. coil.

    My 20 yr old Whirlpool upright freezer is working ok but, there is water frozen at bottom and the door no longer has that vacuum pressure when closing or opening. In fact, the door opens too easily. I noticed a gap at lower gasket. I cleaned the gasket but didn't help. What do u think could be wrong? Thanks for any help u can provide.

    • @repairclinic
      @repairclinic  9 лет назад

      771blahblah Your freezer's gasket may be worn out and may need to be replaced. There could be another issue causing the freezing water at the bottom of the unit.

  • @ashinraj7350
    @ashinraj7350 2 года назад +1

    1:11 it's wrongly explained. Compressor doesn't convert gas to liquid. It converts evaporated gas from evaporator to HIGH PRESSURE and HIGH TEMPERATURE GAS.
    After that compressed gas is converted to liquid in the condensor.

    • @repairclinic
      @repairclinic  10 лет назад

      This is most likely a problem with the defrost heater, defrost thermostat or defrost control. As stated in this video, the heater and thermostat can be tested for continuity. If both of them check out it is most likely a problem with the defrost control.

      @repairclinic  10 лет назад

      louis tournas There is always two coils in a refrigeration system. The condenser coil in a freezer is usually in the outer cabinet with the end connected to a capillary tube that goes to the evaporator coil that is located in the freezer. At 45 seconds into the video there are two coils the smaller coil is the evaporator witch is white and the larger one is the condenser that is a reddish color.
