Fridge does not stop

Hello community I repair. A few years ago I bought a refrigerator Fridge Gafa HGF367AF platinum in a well-known home appliance, 5-8 years. I left it running for 10 days, it worked correctly and I left it off waiting for the one I have in operation to have any breakdown or want to do maintenance type change weatherstrips. It's like new, like when it came from the factory. I recently put it into operation (without moving it from where it was) and it turned on perfectly for a few hours, but I didn't cool anything. Recently a technician came, put a valve and placed the corresponding gas, told me that he was not losing. The refrigerator had very little gas (when cutting the pipe to place the valve) and then it worked properly cooling Freezer and inside. The issue is that after a few hours, I noticed that it does not stop the engine. The technician came and told me that it could be the thermostat and placed it more glued to the interior wall and left. I placed a thermometer and it always marks me between 7-8 degrees (in the middle), even putting it to the maximum. In the other refrigerators, this thermometer gives between 3-4 degrees in the same area (even with merchandise), I have already separated it enough from the wall (the radiator) and it is possible to see the operation of the thermostat (I can verify it). My question is if there may have been a little more gas to claim, and those 2-3 degrees of difference do not give the signal to the thermostat so that it cuts to its programming temperature. I will appreciate your response. Greetings and congratulations. [B] = 24.0pt [/b]

Hello mugato, happy new year, it may be that your refrigerator has a lack of refrigerant, but it may also be past it, you should check the back of the equipment, if the thickest pipe that returns to the compressor from the evaporator, has some formation of ice or frost, in that case, it would be passed from refrigerant and therefore prevents the system from compensating its working pressures properly to lower more temperature, as it would like and to make it manage to stop through the thermostat itself. Luck. S @ lu2 friovega63.

Hi !! Thanks for answering and happy new year. Actually, the whole grill is rather hot, as is the return pipe. I am going to take out the thermostat and I will see how to immerse the end in ice water out of the freezer to test the continuity is cut, discarding that it is malfunctioning. Thanks and I comment.

This procedure of immersing in ice is not correct, to check a thermostat, it is enough that the equipment cools sufficiently or not, to know if it works well or not from its same position, as long as it has continuity of passage through its contacts the rest depends on the temperature that is able to achieve or not the device itself. In your case it does not lower the desired temperature and does not have frost on the return, it could either be because the system needs a little more refrigerant, or the compressor has already lost efficiency, but that data would be better for the technician who could offer it .

I thought that putting the thermostat bulb at a lower temperature (put the ice from the freezer of another refrigerator to come to -08 degrees and place it in a taper, it would cut the engine). I have an unused thermostat that I can adapt (I bought it by mistake) and I see what happens, it was not to disassemble the one in the refrigerator. I'm going to call the technician and I tell him (it's really a service exchange arrangement), then I'll tell you what happened. Thank you.

Hello friend to test if the thermostat works or not only just put it in the off position or zero position if turning it to that point and does not cut you must replace it .. luck

Yes, I put it in position 0 (with one click, cut permanently) or near 0, cut then turn on and do not turn off. The indoor temperature does not fall beyond 8 degrees measured with thermometer. I'm waiting for the technician. I tell you what he tells me. For me it is not a thermostat subject. Thank you

All right. I made a simple can by taking the bulb directly to the freezer, I stuck it with tape to the sheet, I put it almost at 0 in regulation, and the temperature reached -16 degrees, it did not cut. Rare, I will buy a thermostat: KDF 26.1. If I succeed, I will see that of regulating an internal screw in a counterclockwise direction and see if it cuts at a lower temperature. Anyway, running continuously and weatherstrips in perfect condition, it did not go below 7 degrees. Then I comment. Thank you.

Well, I solved the problem. I looked at another YoReparo publication "https://www.yoreparo.com/es/refrigeracion/refrigeradores/preguntas/1568950/termostato-kdf-26-1-no-corta" comment from Carlos 656 from the end, and I turned screw thermostat counterclockwise 6 turns until cut. Then, with a touch up, I see that the freezer's cutting temperature is -25, in cabinet + 4.5. For now I leave it that way. Thank you very much for everything and help in the solution.

In My case the publication of Carlos 656: "https://www.yoreparo.com/es/refrigeracion/refrigeradores/preguntas/1568950/termostato-kdf-26-1-no-corta"
