What to do if the fresh-keeping room freezes? Summary of solutions to popular problems in 10 days
Among the household appliance issues that have been hotly discussed on the Internet recently, "freezing in the fresh-keeping room" has become a high-frequency keyword. According to statistics from the big data analysis platform, the search volume of this topic has soared by 320% in the past 10 days. Related discussions mainly focus on three aspects: misunderstandings in the use of refrigerators, quick de-icing techniques and preventive measures. Here are popular solutions for structured organization:
| Question type | frequency of occurrence | Main platform |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing in the refrigerator affects ingredients | 38.7% | Xiaohongshu/Douyin |
| Clogged drainage holes causing water accumulation | 29.2% | Baidu knows/Zhihu |
| Door seal is aging and leaking air-conditioning | 17.5% | Home Appliances Forum |
| Improper thermostat setting | 14.6% | E-commerce customer service records |
1. Five steps for emergency de-icing (popular video content on Douyin)
1.Power outage handling: Cut off the power supply immediately to prevent the compressor from continuing to work.
2.melt naturally: Place a basin of warm water to accelerate melting (do not use sharp tools)
3.Water absorption treatment: Use a dry towel to repeatedly absorb water until there is no more water.
4.Check drain holes: Use thin wire to clear the drainage hole with a diameter of about 5mm.
5.Restart test: After powering on, adjust to gear 3 and run for 2 hours before observing.
| Tools | Key points for use | Safety tips |
|---|---|---|
| hair dryer | Keep a distance of more than 30cm | Need to disconnect the power supply |
| Silicone spatula | Pry slowly along the bottom of the ice | Metal tools prohibited |
| medical alcohol | 75% concentration accelerates melting | Keep away from open flames |
2. Three keys to preventing icing (highly praised answer on Zhihu)
1.temperature setting: It is recommended to adjust to level 4 in spring and autumn, and no more than level 6 in summer.
2.Seal detection: If A4 paper is clamped between the door and it is difficult to twitch, it is considered qualified.
3.Usage habits: Hot food needs to be cooled to room temperature before putting it in. Use a sealed box for food with high water content.
3. Analysis of common misunderstandings (high-frequency issues with Baidu Index)
•Myth 1: Freezing indicates that the cooling effect is good → actually it is a precursor to temperature sensor failure.
•Myth 2: Frequent door opening and closing has no effect → Actual measurement shows that door opening and closing more than 20 times in a single day will increase the probability of freezing by 47%
•Myth 3: Automatic de-icing requires no maintenance → Air-cooled refrigerators still need to clean the evaporator every year
| Refrigerator type | Main cause of icing | Maintenance cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Direct cooling | evaporator direct contact | De-icing every 3 months |
| Air-cooled | Defrost heating pipe failure | Replace seals every year |
| Frequency conversion type | Excessive temperature fluctuations | Calibrate sensors every six months |
4. Professional maintenance suggestions (latest data from the Home Appliances Association)
You should contact after-sales service when the following situations occur:
• Recurrence within 72 hours after continuous de-icing
• The compressor continues to operate without stopping
• There are no condensed water droplets on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment (normally there should be uniform water droplets)
According to big data from JD.com’s services, 68% of icing problems in the fresh-keeping room can be solved by self-handling, but 32% of cases involving refrigeration system failures still require professional maintenance. It is recommended that users keep their proof of purchase, and most brands provide free door-to-door service for the first failure.
