Refrigerators, or coolers in general, are white goods that significantly facilitate our lives. The first electric refrigerator was built in 1876 by the German inventor Linde. It is also known that the American Jacob Perkins performed earlier studies that inspired this invention.

If we look at the working principle of refrigerators, it can be explained as follows: an ecovat (compressor) sucks in the refrigerant—which we commonly know as air conditioning or refrigerator gas—and rapidly expands its volume via a vacuum. This vacuum suction reduces the pressure, causing the refrigerant to transition from a liquid state to a gaseous state at low pressure. Through this circulation, it absorbs heat from the environment.

It is a known theorem that substances use the heat of the environment when transitioning between solid, liquid, and gas states by skipping one or two steps, and conversely, they release heat into the environment during the reverse process. A refrigerator essentially utilizes the part of this theorem where a substance transitions from liquid to gas.

Let’s look at the space refrigerators occupy in our lives, which is directly proportional to their dimensions: this presence has reached a form that makes some of us wonder what people used to do in the past. In fact, they were perhaps luckier because they had to consume everything at its freshest and most seasonal.

Now, let’s examine the inefficient states we call “problematic usage” or the inability to use this technological acceptance due to certain malfunctions. Let’s explore through a few questions what kind of malfunctions refrigerators and coolers—which operate 24/7—experience, what can be done to prevent them, and how they can be solved before calling technical service.

• Our first problem, as in every subject, is the most common one: the refrigerator or cooler is not working.

In this case, the first thing we should do is check the plug. Start by checking whether it is plugged in, then unplug it and use a voltage tester (test pen) to see if there is electricity in the socket. If there is energy in the socket but the refrigerator is not working, we may consider that the electronic board or the motor has failed, and we must call technical service for repair. If there is no energy in the socket, we can likely solve the problem by checking the second step: whether the main switch is on or if a fuse has tripped for some reason.

• The compressor does not kick in.

This situation can occur if the power is cut for some reason, such as a power flicker. Since the pressure of the refrigerant in the cooling system has not yet balanced, the protective thermal relay may trip. If it still does not work after a period of about 10 minutes, it is necessary to call technical service due to a potential malfunction.

• The refrigerator or cooler is making too much noise.

It is useful to check if the floor is level. After all, a motor is running, and if the floor is not even, noise is inevitable. Furthermore, this noise, combined with the resulting vibration, will shorten the lifespan of the device and lead to various malfunctions beyond mere annoyance.

• The inside of the refrigerator smells bad.

One of the worst situations to encounter is a foul odor inside the cabinet. The best thing to do is to gradually reduce the items inside and clean it thoroughly with vinegar or similar natural cleaners.

• The power went out while we were away for a long time, or the fuse tripped; when we got home, there was a smell like a decaying body coming from the fridge.

Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done once this has happened. It seems there is no other way than replacing your refrigerator with a new one, as that smell generally does not go away.

• Moisture is forming on the walls of the refrigerator or cooler.

You should make sure that the door of your refrigerator or cooler is completely closed. Also, if you constantly put in hot food, this can cause moisture because the system tries to cool down faster than normal.

Solutions to such problems can be handled quickly by you without the need for any service. However, to protect your refrigerator and all your electrical/electronic devices against power flickers, weather-related issues, or electrical fluctuations caused by any reason, we provide protection as Trimbox to prevent these types of problems with a single product.

Simple precautions sometimes save lives. The best investment we can make for our family, our business, and our environment is protective measures. With Trimbox and GNDSeries, you can be protected from electricity-related damages and electrical contact fires caused by them.
