There are six reasons why ice is freezing on the back wall of the refrigerator. It is possible to determine the cause even before calling a master – malfunctions manifest themselves in different ways:
- The back wall insulation is frozen.
The appliance works as usual: it pauses and starts when the temperature rises. The ice layer is formed unevenly, occupies part of the wall or protrudes in the corner.
- Lack of Freon.
Motor runs without pauses, but there is almost no effect (except an irregular layer of ice on the rear wall). Fridge often stops freezing after defrosting.
- thermostat malfunction.
The compressor does not stop, and the fridge does not defrost. A layer of ice evenly covers the back wall.
- Capillary tube is clogged.
- Solenoid valve is broken.
Too cold in the refrigerator compartment, too warm in the freezer compartment.
- Leak tightness is broken (rubber seal is worn out).
Removing ice from the rear wall of the refrigerator:
– Defrost the refrigerator. Maybe the problem will go away – electronics will restart, and the clogged capillary tube will come out.
– Replace the thermostat, solenoid valve, and door seal.
– Filling the system with freon and finding the place of the leak.
– Removal and replacement of part of the thermal insulation layer.
– Removal of partial clogging of the capillary tube.
The layer of ice on the back wall is a lot of trouble. If it’s a matter of the back wall freezing due to the insulation getting wet, the area grows over time until the ice completely covers the surface. If there is a lack of freon, broken gauges and clogs, the compressor is worn out and quickly fails. In all cases, the temperature regime is not respected – this affects the shelf life of products.
