1. Fixing Dual-Sided Refrigerator Overheating
Causes of Newly Heated Refrigerators on Both Sides
The condenser of the refrigerator is installed on both sides of the unit. When the refrigerator operates, the refrigerant flows through the pipes on both sides of the unit and dissipates heat outside, resulting in both sides of the unit getting warm. Therefore, with such a construction, it is normal for newly purchased or used refrigerators to experience overheating on both sides.
Refrigerator Structure
- When both sides of the refrigerator are cool, it indicates that the compressor is in idle mode and will heat up when the compressor of the refrigerator starts operating.
- Additionally, in the summer when the surrounding temperature rises, the compressor will run longer to cool and compensate for heat for the food, so both sides of the refrigerator will be warmer.
Some suggestions to address the issue of both sides of the refrigerator getting warm
- Place the refrigerator in a location away from direct sunlight.
- Do not place the refrigerator near the kitchen or other heat-emitting appliances.
- Both sides of the refrigerator as well as the back of the refrigerator must have space with surrounding objects, to allow sufficient airflow and heat dissipation. You should not place the refrigerator against the wall or place any objects close to both sides of the refrigerator.
- Do not let children touch the heated areas such as both sides of the refrigerator.
