Placement and installation

The refrigerator operating manual recommends installing the equipment in a room with an area of at least 5 m². The room must be equipped with ventilation; it is not allowed to install refrigeration equipment in rooms with a temperature outside the range of 18-22°C. Do not expose the housing to direct sunlight, or place the refrigerator near central heating radiators. An air gap of at least 50 mm wide must be maintained between the housing and the walls.

After installing the equipment in the planned location, you need to remove the shipping film, and then wash the outer part of the case and camera with a soapy solution. If the kit includes parts for self-assembly, you should install the elements in accordance with the attached instructions for use. Then the user adjusts the screw front supports, achieving uniform installation of the product (at the building level). Incorrectly installed equipment produces extraneous noise during operation.

Features of digital displays in modern versions

The electronic control of the Atlant refrigerator is most often located at the top of the door, but there are also cases where it is located on the surface of the door (in newer versions). To select the temperature, either regular buttons or a touch system are provided.

The main rules in such systems:

to change the settings of the digital relay, press keys;
in cases of dual-chamber options, the displays are divided into two compartments, each of which shows data in separate compartments;
for freezing containers they provide a range from −18 to −24 degrees, and for refrigeration parts it is possible to choose from +1 to +8 degrees;
One press of the button allows you to change the temperature by 1 degree.

Refrigerators belonging to the so-called “New Wave” series have advanced displays equipped with electronic controls. The attached instructions describe in detail, step by step, the operation of installing and adjusting temperature indicators.

Electronic units are equipped with a special alarm that notifies you about a long (more than 1 minute) opening of the refrigerator door or about its incomplete closing. They also provide a system for shutting down the unit in cases of an increase above standard values or an abnormal voltage drop.

Preparing for work

Some refrigerators use glass shelves equipped with plastic transport elements. The shelves are distributed along guide grooves inside the refrigerator compartment. The operating instructions for the Atlant refrigerator do not recommend turning on the power for 30 minutes after transportation (due to the risk of oil getting into the capillary channels). If the equipment was delivered to the installation site in winter, then the product is kept at room temperature for 4 hours.

On the back wall of the equipment there are grooves for installing plastic stops that prevent the heat exchanger from coming into contact with the wall surface. Refrigeration units are labeled with the serial number, model and technical parameters. Removing this label is prohibited due to the risk of voiding warranty service. The front doors of the equipment are installed on right hinges; the design allows the doors to be hung on the left side of the housing.

General information

Temperature control devices are divided into two basic types:

Electronic. It is a digital panel; to adjust the temperature, you must either specify the required temperature or set the mode that suits you. This type of device is presented in various ways, often in the form of a large display.
Mechanical. This type is used in economy class refrigerators. It is very simple and reliable. It consists of regulating the temperature by adjusting the rotary dial on a scale.

On different models, the temperature control device is located differently. However, in Atlant brand refrigerators, the adjustment is no different from the adjustment in refrigerators of other brands.

First start

Before connecting the equipment to the electrical network, you should set the temperature parameters. The refrigerator is controlled by an electromechanical rotary regulator with a temperature scale. Models of the No Frost series use an electronic corrector with buttons and signal indicators; on some models there is a liquid crystal display that displays the temperature and displays error codes. Modifications with two compressors are equipped with separate temperature indications for the chambers.

By default, the temperature controls are set to the middle position; if the user does not intend to load the chamber with products, then the setting should not be changed. It takes up to 20-24 hours for the equipment to cool down to operating temperature upon first start-up. After connecting the refrigeration unit to the network, the compressor is activated, which begins to pump refrigerant through the refrigeration circuit. If the user disconnects the plug, reconnection to the electrical circuit is allowed after 5-7 minutes.

What if there are two compressors?

This engineering solution involves servicing the refrigeration section with one compressor and the freezer compartment with the other. This allows precise adjustments to be made to the motors individually, or even to disable one if necessary. How to regulate the temperature in the Atlant refrigerator in such cases?

How to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator

The temperature in the Atlant refrigerator is adjusted using a rotary regulator or buttons on the control panel. The set temperature depends on the degree of filling with food and on the model of the refrigerator. Refrigeration units manufactured by Atlant have a setting algorithm that depends on the number of chambers and working compressors. Some models use a button to turn on the accelerated freezing mode, which is turned off manually or by a signal from the control unit.

Single compressor models

A single-chamber small-sized refrigerator is equipped with one door, behind which there is a common chamber and a small freezer. To adjust the temperature, a round regulator is used, allowing you to select one of 7 cooling levels. For normal operating conditions, it is recommended to install the corrector in position 3 or 4. To quickly reduce the temperature in the refrigerator, the regulator is set to position 5 or 6. After freezing the food, it is necessary to return the regulator to position 3 or 4, which will reduce the load on the electric drive of the compressor.

The plant produces modifications with 1 compressor and 2 chambers with separate doors. The equipment is equipped with a regulator of a similar design, but when the regulator is set to position 3 or 4, different temperatures are maintained in the compartments. The freezer compartment is cooled to -18°C, while in the refrigerator compartment the air temperature is within 1-4°C.

Dual compressor models

To adjust the parameters in two-compressor models, separate regulators are used for the freezer and refrigerator compartment. Factory documentation recommends setting the temperature by turning the adjusters to position 3, 4 or 5. For accelerated cooling, it is possible to set the regulator to position 6 or 7.

On modernized models, an electronic push-button regulator with an indicator panel is used, which allows you to set the temperature in the Atlant refrigerator in steps of 1°C. The equipment is equipped with an alarm buzzer, which reduces the likelihood of leaving the cell door open. According to the factory instructions, the temperature in the freezer should be -18°C (set by buttons on the left side of the control unit). To adjust parameters in the upper chamber, use the keys on the right edge of the controller (recommended value 3-5°C).

Instructions for a two-chamber Atlant refrigerator with 2 compressors

Atlant is a well-known brand that has firmly taken its place in the Russian market. The Minsk manufacturer produces equipment with the ability to separately defrost the freezer and refrigerator compartments. With the purchase of such models, questions inevitably arise: how to set up a refrigerator, how to set the temperature in Atlanta with two compressors, and what can be found in the instructions for defrosting a two-chamber device. So, the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator with 2 compressors: instructions.

Refrigerator care

The instructions for the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator contain a number of care tips:

Condensation formed on the walls and shelves is removed with a dry towel or napkin.
To remove contaminants, use a soap or soda solution (1 tsp of substance per 1 liter of liquid). Remaining solution is removed with a dry cloth; equipment is cleaned only after turning off the power and removing products from the chambers.
To remove odors, it is recommended to wash the seals and the areas of the housing located under them.
Dust settled on the radiator grille is removed with a soft brush mounted on the vacuum cleaner hose. Operating a refrigerator with a dirty heat exchanger leads to decreased performance and increased energy consumption.
Equipment not equipped with a No Frost unit must be manually defrosted regularly. If a thick layer of ice and frost forms, the performance of the unit will deteriorate.

Atlant thermostat replacement

The presence of refrigeration units in every home is a vital necessity.
We purchase products, many of which are already frozen and require appropriate storage conditions. It often takes a couple of days to prepare the first and second courses; we also hide them in a cooling device. An unexpected breakdown requires a quick fix, as the whole family risks being left without food.

Many malfunctions require replacing the thermostat.

Temperature relay is an element responsible for the temperature value in the cooling device. It sends commands to the compressor when to turn on and when to rest, this depends on the amount of frost in the compartments. The device itself contains a sealed tube of absolute tightness, filled with refrigerant, and an electrical circuit connection leading to the engine.

Signs of such a need

The device works non-stop and does not go to rest
The temperature in the cooling compartment is very low
The refrigerator turns off on its own and does not respond to anything else

Empty the unit of all contents, turn off the power, defrost. Set the temperature control knob to the lowest possible setting. Place an outdoor thermometer on the middle shelf. Turn on the empty device. After 2-3 hours, take out the thermometer and see what it shows. Less than +5 degrees – the thermostat is faulty.

Further actions

We determine where the required part is located. In old Atlanta it is located inside the cooling chamber on the side. We open the cold compartment door and see a small plastic box on the wall. If there is a mechanical handle, the regulator is connected to it. Changing is very simple: remove the protective housing, remove the wiring, change the necessary link and return everything to its place.
The newer model will have to be disassembled a bit. In them, the necessary part is most often at the top above the door.
We open the door.
We release the cover from the fasteners, twist all the screws, slightly lift it and remove it.
We find the latch and loosen it by removing the screws on the sides of the panel.
We release the temperature regulator along with the wiring.
Disconnect the wires and detach the freon tube.
We check our link as follows: we connect all the necessary wires to each other, plug the device into a socket, and when the sound of a running engine appears, it becomes clear that we have made the correct diagnosis. The thermostat includes the following wiring:

1.Black, orange, red – connection to the motor

2.Brown – mains power

3.Yellow, green, white – power lamp

4.Striped bright - grounding

We install a new spare part and connect the wiring. Next, we collect all the components as they were.

This operation is accessible to almost any user, as it does not contain any complex actions and does not require the use of special tools.

Remember: any diagnostic and repair actions that involve disassembling the housing must be carried out after disconnecting the refrigerator from the mains voltage. This will protect you from possible electrical injuries and protect your health.

If the equipment has an unexpired warranty period, feel free to call the service center that services your brand. The master will arrive at a time convenient for you and will save you from hassle and stress.

Malfunctions and their elimination

Common problems when operating Atlant refrigerators:

When the equipment is connected to the network, the refrigeration chamber illumination unit does not work. A malfunction occurs when a lamp fails or when a door switch gets stuck (due to dirt getting on the surface).
Operating noise indicates that the equipment is installed at an angle. After adjusting the position, extraneous sounds disappear.
Formation of condensation in the chamber of refrigerators with a No Frost block. The defect appears when the water drain channels leading to the tray on the compressor cover are clogged. Metal wire is used for cleaning.
The compressor is constantly running, but the temperature in the chamber is higher than the set value. A malfunction occurs when operating conditions are violated or when the doors are not closed tightly.
The appearance of frost in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator with a No Frost unit indicates blockage of the air channels (on the back cover of the case) or frequent opening of the front door.

Some problems can be resolved by the user himself. If the defect recurs or DIY repairs do not lead to the disappearance of signs of failure, it is recommended to contact a service center.

What measures to take in case of problems

Troubleshooting yourself requires some experience and knowledge. Therefore, it is difficult to repair the unit with your own hands. It is possible to eliminate simple causes associated with improper operation and installation, with the door not tightly closed. The refrigerator is reconfigured, leveled, installed away from heating devices or moved to another room, objects that prevent the door from closing tightly are moved away. If the seal wears out, replace it yourself or contact a specialist. The main thing is to find the same rubber gasket and carefully stick it on.

More complex causes associated with technical faults require professional diagnosis and repair. The technician will find and eliminate freon leaks, blockages in the capillary system, and replace faulty parts (temperature sensor, compressor and start-up relay).

When problems occur with the control unit, sometimes rebooting the equipment helps. The device is disconnected from the electrical network and left for 15-20 minutes. Then they turn it on. If this does not help, contact a specialist. He will reprogram the unit or replace its individual components. It depends on the nature of the breakdown.

Advice. If the refrigerator's warranty service has not yet expired, you should immediately contact the service center specialists.
