refrigerator leaks! Invest in thousands of dollars for 5$

refrigerator leaks


hello. Everyone!

This is Doitpapa, a self-repair blogger who makes money.

Following the first money-making honey tip, today is the second money-making honey tip,

“Invest in thousands of dollars for $5, refrigerator leaks.” A leak in a refrigerator is a troublesome and troublesome symptom that visits for a short time

without anyone noticing and causes enormous damage. Usually, only fragmentary parts are checked, and those who are more delicate,

such as wiping running water or supporting a towel or rag, Some people find ice and break it with a knife or other blunt object.

In the end, such parts are the same as ‘covering the sky with the palm of your hand’. Without solving the root cause,

only the floor will rot and the symptoms will only get worse. With today’s honey tip, I will reveal a new repair know-how

that you can’t see the leak until the refrigerator is completely broken.

second story

-A wealth of money that can earn millions of won with 5,000 won, a refrigerator leak- “Water is coming out of the refrigerator,

the bottom is rotten under the refrigerator, there is ice on the bottom of the refrigerator, the refrigerator drawer is not draining”

These are the various symptoms associated with a leak. The reason is that in order for the refrigerator to keep food cool,

cold air circulates in the cooler and melts the cooler when it reaches a certain temperature. Defrost heater works.

The defrost water melted by the defrost heater enters the drain hole (drain hole) in the drain plate (water tray) and It is supposed to go into

the evaporating dish under the condenser and evaporate. The condenser covered in the first story is dusty or inside the refrigerator.

If there is a lot of food or items, if the cooler detects the temperature faster than the actual temperature inside the refrigerator,

the heater frequently operates and the defrost water It freezes before evaporating. As the ice blocks the drain hole (drain hole) and gradually fills with ice,

the defrost water that comes out later As it flows forward, huge ice is created. Going into too much detail is complicated and gives you a headache, right?

However, if the root cause of the refrigerator leak is not addressed,

A new or old house or a house with laminated flooring creates a floor that shows strong self-esteem.

(Usually, when laminate flooring rots, it is reconstructed rather than partially repaired, which costs millions of won.)

Organize the refrigerator

Copper wire or banding or aluminum wire or banding (Material that does not rust in water)

1. Organize the refrigerator – refrigerator leaks

In order to use the refrigerator at its best efficiency, it is recommended to use it only when it is filled to 70%.

Give space so as not to block the passage of cold air inside the refrigerator, and throw away food that has been stored for a long time.

What if you block the passage through which cold air comes out? This will be discussed later, but it causes leakage and reduces efficiency.

In particular, the freezer may be different from our mother’s age or lifestyle, but most home freezers are overloaded.

Leftovers, leftovers, frozen ingredients, and many more take up space. Among them, if you do not consume leftover food and leftover ingredients

for more than a month or two, it is better to boldly organize them.

(Frozen food doesn’t last forever… it gets cold and goes bad. It’s not good for the body.)

There are usually a lot of leaks in the freezer. However, the solution to the leak in the refrigerator is the same.

-Eva Heater-Products before 2010, Sheath Heater-Products after 2009- It is usually divided into two heaters,

but many manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Carrier, and Winia use sheath heaters. Sheath heaters are the most common leak. I’ll

explain based on the freezer!

2. Melt the drain hole (drain hole) – refrigerator leaks

After removing the freezer drawer and shelf, open the cover by unscrewing the upper, middle,

and lower screws to detach and disassemble the connected cord. If you disassemble it, the drain plate will be full of ice.

First, boil hot water in an electric kettle and pour it gently. Since the drain hole is not drilled,

it may flow forward, so work by supporting a dry towel or rag under the refrigerator. (If you are an expert,

you can use a steamer to remove ice quickly, but I will only tell you about things you have at home.)

It is a good phenomenon that the melting hot water flows to the front as it flows through the ice at the bottom of the freezer and melts slowly.

It is good to use a hair dryer while slowly adding hot water until the drain hole is opened.

If you have just discovered a leak, the icing will be removed in a matter of seconds. However, if the floor is full of ice, it may take a little longer.

3. Remove floor ice – refrigerator leaks

Freeze on the floor is a product of a leak in the refrigerator. In some thick places, there are places where more than one drawer at the bottom is frozen.

Usually, at home, the ice is broken with a knife or blunt tool, but there may be a risk of injury.

Most of them take a picture of the inner wall of the refrigerator to cause internal leakage or internal leakage,

so you should absolutely avoid it. When the hot water comes down and fills the floor,

at some point you can see chunks of ice sliding around. Hurry up and throw it in the sink!

4. Connect the drain hole hot wire – refrigerator leaks

This is the most important part. Twist an aluminum or copper band about 15 cm long and insert it into the drain.

약 15cm 길이의 알루미늄 또는 구리 밴드를 꼬아 배수구에 삽입하십시오.
(It works well if you bend it from right to left.) After inserting, wind it around the sheath heater to ensure

(오른쪽에서 왼쪽으로 구부리면 잘 됩니다.)

삽입 후 Sheath Heater에 감아 good heat transfer. If packing is difficult, you can use aluminum tape sold at Daiso for 1,000 won. If it fits

포장이 어려우시면 다이소에서 1,000원에 판매하는 알루미늄 테이프를 사용하시면 됩니다.

꼭 맞고 snugly and doesn’t warp, you won’t see leaks in the fridge in the future.
