The refrigerator's condenser runs hot and cold

The condenser of the refrigerator is used for heat dissipation, which releases the heat generated by the refrigerator during refrigeration into the surrounding environment. In the current design, there are two main design methods, one is to hang it in the back of the refrigerator, which is more common in the early period, and the other is to hide it in the two sides of the refrigerator, which is a relatively new way, its main purpose is to be beautiful and reduce the condensation of the side plate.

When the refrigerator is cooling at the same time, the condenser begins to heat, when the refrigerator is shut down, the refrigeration stops, the temperature of the condenser is also slowly reduced, and finally the temperature has been reduced to 2 to 3 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. In summer, you can feel heat on both sides, but there is always a higher temperature on one side, in other seasons, there may be a side that is not hot, this is because the heat load is small, the area of the condenser is relatively large, so the temperature on the other side has been comparable to the ambient temperature.

The fastest way to check whether the refrigerator is good or bad is to feel the heat of the condenser shortly after the boot, if not, the refrigerator may not cool. The maximum temperature of the refrigerator condenser is generally about 10 degrees higher than the ambient temperature. Since the condenser is glued to the side plate, there is a certain difference in temperature at different points of the side plate.
