How long should you leave a new refrigerator before you plug it in?

Turn off by pulling the mains plug. Leave for 5 minutes and plug it back it. If it is a software based sounder, this might reset the mainboard.

Or, it may be a mechanical noise like a fan resonating.

Hi,its not like the sound when you leave the door open on the fridge door,if you are not shore try leaving the door open for a fuw momments to see if it sounds the same.
Just a thought,I hope you get it fixed it would iritate me as well.

I wouldn't think that it needs resetting?? Is the fridge not working at all now? Have a close look at the old board and the new one. Some manufacturers leave little "jumper" plugs off new boards and you have to take them off the old board and transfer them to the new one. Look very closely... They are hard to see sometimes.

Sounds like the thermistor is bad. Several ways to test.

1: Place the end of the thermistor that is located inside the refrigerator into a glass of slushy water and read the ohms resistance on the plug end which is located on the back of the refrigerator. Google the ohms resistance chart for Dometic thermistors and compare your readings to the chart. If they are not in range then the thermistor is bad and needs to be replaced.

2: Unplug the thermistor from the circuit board. It will be the harness that has only two wires going into a hard plastic plug. Leave it unplugged for 24 hours and check the temp inside the refrigerator. If the temp has dropped then the thermistor is bad and needs to be replaced.

To replace the thermistor remove the thermistor sensor end from the plastic clip. Remove the plastic grommet from the back wall of the refrigerator. Tape the new plug end to the sensor head of the old thermistor and gently guide it through the hole. Once the taped head/plug passes through the hole you may complete pulling the new thermistor through from the back side. Only pull enough to allow you to plug the new thermistor in. Un-tape the plug end from the head and plug the thermistor in to the circuit board. Reinstall the cover over the circuit board and reinstall the access pane. There will be some sealing putty on the old thermistor harness. Remove that and gently press it back into the hole around the new thermistor harness inside the refrigerator and reinstall the plastic grommet. Install the sensor end into the plastic clip and install the plastic clip between the first and second fins. The higher up on the fin the colder the temp will be inside the refrigerator.

Leave the capacitor on and don't worry about the cover. The capacitor really helps the compressor to not use as much electricity, thus saving energy.

It's certainly not recommended because you can fill and clog the refrigerant lines with oil from the compressor.

IF YOU MUST...your chances are better if you leave it upright for an hour or so before plugging it in. This allows the oil to drain back into the compressor. This period should be appreciable longer in cold weather as the oil is thicker.

Hello
Welcome

The fridge is not a computer and should not be plugged into a gif or surge breaker. Plug it into and outlet!
Can not do this.
Please remember to leave a solved rating before you leave our site.
Thank you

sounds like when you moved it you created an air lock, when moving fridges etc. should always leave for 24 hrs to settle before plugging in.... , no guarantee but try laying it down and leaving overnight then stand it up again and leave for at least 24 hrs for the refrigerant to try and sort itself out. UNPLUGGED from mains of course... good luck

if you will be affected by freezing weather, it is advisable to drain all water from your reservoir to prevent from freezing and can damage the plastic tank.

if not, then it is safe just to unplug it and leave it. clean.


tnx 4 using fixya,
