Easiest Way To Diagnose All Major Refrigerator Failures
Since there are many components in a refrigerator, it is not easy to locate the problem because any of the components could be at fault. This video demonstrates a quick and safe way to troubleshoot the majority of the most frequent problems.
Measuring resistance from the plug is quite safe and simple, but different refrigerator models may yield different results. As an example of measuring resistance from the plug, we provided data for 3 different refrigerators. If your refrigerator is different or does not show exactly the same values, you can still use our experiments as references.

You haven’t cleaned your refrigerator condenser coils? This video https://youtu.be/jMkkoXpHIPA , will make the task very easy for you, by showing you how to make easy cheap DIY tools, and how to use them, so that you can easily clean this part of your refrigerator every 6 months. Dirty condenser coils cause poor heat convection and conduction and make the refrigerator run more often and/or for more time, thus it will shorten the lifespan of the refrigerator.
When your fridge stops working, it is an emergency because you have a flood in the freezer, and you have spoiling food. But finding the problem and ordering a new part or a new refrigerator could take a few days or longer. This video https://youtu.be/HCyDxWifj-8 is going to show you how to diagnose and deal with this emergency situation with temporary fixes. Rather than declaring the refrigerator kaput and letting your food spoil, you may manually jumpstart and control your refrigerator, and bypass those faulty components. We will show you what you can do for the most common problems such as a bad condenser fan motor, a bad control board, a bad thermostat, a bad start relay, a bad overload, or a bad evaporator fan motor. https://twitter.com/RealGeniusAsian/status/1325913030190796801
