Is it ok if the compressor in the refrigerator is working continiously irrespective of thermostat setting?
Answer:
possibilities:
1. bad compressor/low freon
2. bad thermostat
3. lack of air over condenser coils
4. bad door seals
none of these are good.
cleaning the coils would help
NO, It will consume electricity continuously
It will also make you refrigerator colder than your setting
Most likely course is the thermostat is broken. If the item has been working fine and no damage has been done to it recently 95% chance its just the thermostat is the coarse
No. That sounds like a defective component, most likely the thermostat. You will start seeing items in the fridge freezing (like milk on the top shelf that is close to where the cold air enters the fresh food section.) Your next most likely cause is that the autodefrost is not working and the innards of the freezer section are covered with ice that is stopping the fan and insulating the interior walls.
The evaporator may be completely iced-up, insulating it and restricting air flow. The auto defrost may also be faulty. Moisture entering the interior is the cause. Make sure the door seal is good, and limit the time the door is kept open. Sounds to me like it is iced up. Thorough defrost is the first step.
