Hello, thank you very much for your time and your explanatory response.
I had forgotten to clarify that the thermostat always has it at a minimum (printed as MIN). I did what he told me: I plugged the refrigerator and forced the stop by turning the knob counterclockwise (0) the compressor stopped. After that I return it to MIN. The compressor continues off, and a hum (very slight) is heard, the interior light loses intensity, then a click is heard and the hum stops, after 5 min of that another click is heard and the compressor is still off.
Continuous:...
Minutes later a third click is heard, and the compressor starts again. That would be a normal operation?
In case I had been surprised about the frost and that the thermostat did not cut, because as I do not know the subject, I saw ice and my reasoning was "I would have to cut".
Hi Pablo, the mistake was mine, as I did not clarify that this test you must do after the refrigerator works at least 6 or 12 hours in which it manages to accumulate a certain amount of frost on the evaporator plate, inside back. Nor did he know that he had the refrigerator disconnected from the power supply. Obviously, what happened was that when you were not cold and you forced the compressor to stop and then raise the thermostat to # 1, the latter not censoring still cold, he gave the compressor the order to start immediately
and obviously the internal refrigerant pressures did not allow the compressor to turn on again until that pressure was able to go down, the click I hear, was the thermal protection by opening the circuit to protect the compressor, from the overload produced, until it was ready to restart. At least it has been shown that the thermostat has been well connected, because it cuts when the stop is forced.
Hi, it was finally a matter of time. Currently the compressor already cuts and the frost has disappeared.
Thank you very much, regards!
Excellent news Pablo, I imagine you can sleep peacefully, the secret was not to despair, but my way, things are like that, when something goes wrong. Thank you for the communication. Luck. S @ lu2 friovega63.
