INDESIT / BAAN 13 - The refrigerator is still working, it does not turn off.

Hello,
I have been looking for information on the continuous operation of the Indesit BAAN13 fridge. However, I think my problem is slightly different. My fridge does not switch off, the compressor runs continuously. The problem started occurring about a week ago, nothing bad has happened until now. The temperature in the fridge measured on the highest shelf, with an outside thermometer on the window is about 5 °C. The rear wall frosted evenly from about halfway (above the middle shelf to the very top). The freezer is working perfectly. The partition between the fridge and freezer is quite warm, but I think this is due to long operation.

I have looked through the gasket carefully and have not noticed any leaks. As for the compressor, I also did not find any strange noises or operation that might have caused me concern. The only option to turn the compressor off is to momentarily set the temperature knob to the position in the picture below. So far the fridge has worked when the knob was set vertically, and there have been no problems. When I set the temperature just vertically, the fridge switched on again when the thermometer readings showed 10 °C on the highest shelf. The situation repeats, i.e. it runs for several hours without switching off, and the only option for a break is to set the dial back to the state in the picture. I am very much asking for help as to what could be the problem and the ailment of this copy, it is known that buying a new one is quite a big expense ;]

The control or thermostat is always switched on. check it out.

Look, you mean to replace it for a new one?

The thermostat responds correctly. There is poor performance of the cooling system due to: leaks, obstruction or wear of the compressor.

Theoretically you're right, but I did a little test. I always used the fridge so that the temperature was in the middle of the dial scale, so it seems to me about 5 degrees. Now I set them in a position even lower than in the picture, so it seems to me about 10 degrees. So in my opinion the compressor should turn off sooner and not continue to pump up to infinity until frost appears on the back wall. I also analyzed the situation and I remembered that the situation began with the fact that several products in the fridge froze me. Tonight I set the temperature regulation in the 0 position, i.e. for 7 hours the compressor did not turn on even once, the thermometer indicated 10-11 degrees, so I think the tightness of the cooler is gone.

And it's not about it, it's about the tightness of the cooling system. Probably in a few days frost in the refrigerator will not be, the compressor will not continue to turn off and the temperature will rise.

Yes you are right I meant that I have read about seals gaps and the current behavior of the refrigerator precludes this option. I wonder, however, why the compressor does not turn off even when I set the temperature quite high, it only cools down when theoretically it should not be anymore because the thermostat should turn it off.

Update: the refrigerator today was probably working all day long because nobody was home. I read a thermometer on the top shelf -6 degrees, probably a lot of products will be thrown out because water will get out of it ... I'm always wondering why the compressor did not turn off. I bought a thermostat in the dark tomorrow I'm going to replace it. Does anyone know how to get to him in this model?

The thermostat mentioned, however, is not a problem. Theoretically, the failure may be unsealing. However, I do not have a problem with a temperature of 10 degrees. The temperature controller is currently set to the minimum cooling, but the temperature is still between 5-6 degrees on the top shelf. A long time ago, when I set the regulator, the refrigerator and the freezer similarly had a much higher temperature and then it worked without a problem. I have the impression that the fridge has been seeking a temperature value that nobody knows;]. If the regulator is set to the minimum cooling and does not turn the refrigerator off at 5 degrees, which is the optimal temperature, then it will never turn it off, because the refrigerator would have to reach a temperature of minus 20 degrees. In addition, I get the impression that the refrigerator turns on according to your own scheme, it works for a long time and once it is short and cools down according to some of your whims;]. If anyone has any ideas, it's bold because for me it's some kind of abstraction.

Hello.
I have the same problem as voodziak . Fridge indesit baan 12 10years used - The compressor works all the time.
I replaced the thermostat on the 216FR45 VC1 capillary 10 cm longer (I was chosen in the home appliance store) and now I have another problem.
After about 4 hours of continuous work from replacing the thermostat, the compressor turned off and after 5 minutes. she turned on and worked 1min. and again 5min break and 2min. work and so until the morning. After increasing the temperature on the thermostat, it works to reach the set point for a longer time and the cycle of short work repeats itself.
What do you think about it?

The compressor is over, as a result of the previous loss of refrigerant. The work was done by dry slaughtering her. I think the equipment for disposal.

Hello . The same damaged fridge has been working for three years, the problem is, but it is solved so that: every month, when the refrigerator freezes, I hit the dehumidifier 3 times, funny but true, and it works correctly.
Why is this happening? Does the dehumidifier have any ice plugs? Can it be repaired (without unsealing the cooling system)?

I have the same problem, hardly ever the compressor shuts down, cool the fridge runs great however all the time on the compressor, has anyone solved this problem ?
