Haier HRF10 what would happen to the fridge without condenser

From your description, it sounds like your condensing coil is dirty and needs cleaning. You will probably find the coil and fan inside the back cardboard cover area. Once a condensing coil gets so dirty, the refrigerant condensed in the condenser is so hot that it does little cooling effect because of the internal heat consumes any refrigeration effect left in the refrigerant. This is vary common problem and especially for pet owner. The pet fur and hair get caught in condensing coil and block air flow.
Hope this helps

How long does it take for the condensation to build up and freeze the fan?

When was the last time you defrosted the fridge (unplug, open all doors for 12 + hours)?

If you have not defrosted the fridge recently, you may have blockage that is preventing a drain from allowing condensation to escape.

clear the air way for circulation

next time send the model number and brand name.usually when this happens is the condenser fan motor isn't working.pull the fridge out,remove the bottom back panel and check the fan to see if it's working,if it is check the condenser coil to see if it's filled with lint and dust,it could just need to be cleaned out but if it's that hot most likely the fan isn't running,if you get this tonight check it now,if the fan isn't running you could blow the compressor,the condenser fan blows and keeps the compressor cool enough so it doesn't overheat by moving the hot air and the heat also esscapes through the condenser coil so if that's clogged with dust the machine will run hotter than normal,if the fan isn't running you can stick any window fan back there and blow it onto the compressor to keep it cool until you fix the condenser fan motor,this way you won't loose any food and if the compressor goes it's new fridge time,to much to repair.hope this helps and good luck with your machine.one more thing,i've found the fans not running and by pushing the blade it runs again,if this happens the fan could run and never have a problem or it could stop an hour later but i would change it out no matter what.if it's a G.E. fridge and the motor isn't running,most likely it will be the computer board,i've found 10 machines doing this and the temp. settings turning on and off or the evap fan motor in the freezer runs slow and then fast and the condenser fan isn't running or running slowly,this is why you have to send the brand name and model number.

Hi,there

Most times this is a bad cold control, but there are other things to check for. Make sure the condenser fan is working and the coils are not covered with dust. A separated heat exchanger ( small capillary tubing soldered to the large suction line ) can separate from one another and make the fridge run too long. - tape tubing back together. A poor working evaporator fan motor could also make the fridge run too long and freeze - replace the fan motor. An inefficient compressor or refrigeration system could make the fridge run too long and freeze - have a service tech check this out. A misaligned control settings, make sure the air damper and cold control have not been bumped and are out of normal settings. Stuck open air diffusers or air dampers are becoming more and more common for allowing too much air to be blown into the fresh food section and freezing things. On all frost free fridge's the freezer temp air is blown into the fresh food section, if you have "easy" to freeze items ( eggs, veggies in water, etc ) in front of or under where the freezer temp air comes out, they could freeze - store them in a different spot. Doors not closing properly making the fridge run too long is something else to check for.

Hope this help out....

It is the fan, Its time for a new one or try to oil her.

Hello lmk400,
Welcome to fixya,


Haier HRF10 Top Freezer Refrigerator You siad, your freezer is cold cold....fridge is at approx 50 degrees What could it be ????????

1. The first thing it could be is that you have a freezer that is packet to the ceiling.
And so full that it's articles are covering the air vents found in the rear of the freezer.
They are need to be clear for the cold air to circulate form and to the fridge compartment.
Yes that is correct!
The freezer and the fridge both share the same air and to restrict the air causes the other
to get warm.
And will eventually burn out your fan motor or possibly your compressor!

OR

2. Your fan motor is already burned out.
Try checking this and clearing the vents.
It will take some hours to get cold and all night to reach peak temperature, if this is your reason!
If not you should then try turning off the fridge AND, then unplugging it for five minutes.
This should reset the system if there is an electronic glitch!

If all this fails you may be low on freon and need service to add some.

If the fridge was left open a crack all night or all day by accident it will cause this!
or if you go shopping and while unloading or loading the fridge with the door wide open running back and forth to the kitchen table for some extended time to!
Gather all the cold stuff near the fridge and put them in quickly!

I gave you a lot to work with and I hope the first two suggestions are the fix and solve your problem.
Let me know!!!!
Huuum
Please rememebr to leave me a rating at our fixya site!

hi. thanks for the question. leaving the door open ,would let a lot of moisture to enter the freezer, and cause it to frost up. to clear frost. cut power to fridge, open the doors .,let thaw over nite clean up the water mess. dry the inside of fridge & freezer turn power on good to go. to stop the door from being left open .lift the legs under the front so the fridge has more weight, and it will close by self . no more doors left open. thanks the appliance doc

Sounds like you have a defrost problem either the Timer /Heater or Bi-metal stat is bad. you can unthaw and the unit will work fine for about a week until it frosts up again Where was this screw they said was loose?? have them check the defrost system.

Remove coil on back of refrigerator very gently and support the coil against a kitchen chair or counter. On the back of the refrigerator there is an access panel. Remove 4 screws holding the cover. Remove the bottom of the freezer compartment by removing screws and pulling bottom straight out. Remove Styrofoam panel from freezer by cutting tape along side edge. Once the Styrofoam panel is removed you will see fan blades. O n the front of the fan blade there is a spring. Pull the spring off by pulling straight forward with pliers or fingers. Remove the 3 screws holding the fan motor to the refrigerator in the rear access panel. The Motor should now be free. Unplug the plug from the connector by lock latch and pulling straight up. Now you must free the fan blade from the fan motor. Grasp the fan motor and pull straight out. This fan blade is really hard to get off. Try separating the two halves of the blade, where you removed the spring, with a screw driver. The motor is available from Repairclinic.com. Good luck.
