Refrigerator and climate-control equipment examinations

Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, climate-control devices, compressor and electronic faults.

When the service is needed

Transport, installation, ventilation, connection, repair traces, service documents and the nature of the defect are often important for these objects.

What the work includes

  • analysis of documents, receipts, warranty cards, records and correspondence;
  • formulating questions for examination;
  • inspection and recording signs of faults;
  • assessing possible manufacturing, use, repair or external causes;
  • preparing a specialist opinion or materials for court.

Documents to prepare where possible

Receipt, contract, warranty card, service report, work order, photos/videos of the fault, claim, seller's reply and documents about an accident or voltage surge.

For refrigeration and climate-control equipment, operating mode, ambient temperature, load, installation and observation time matter. One temperature reading does not describe the device's entire operation.

Subject of examination

  • Refrigerator, freezer or climate-control device
  • Temperature regime and installation conditions
  • Noise, icing, leaks and service history

Sample questions for the expert

  • What operating deviations are confirmed under the specified conditions?
  • How do installation, load and surroundings affect operation?
  • Are there signs of repair or external exposure?
  • Are the duration and conditions of the checks sufficient for a conclusion?

The final questions are formulated according to the objects and circumstances of the particular task.

What to prepare

  • Model, purchase documents and manual
  • Installation conditions and symptom description
  • Service reports and repair information
  • Photos, symptom recordings and available measurements

How the examination is conducted

Operating parameters are assessed together with conditions of use. Observation time and special measurement needs depend on the particular symptom.

Scope and limitations

Examining a household device does not automatically include the building's entire air-conditioning system. Opening the unit and special tests require separate agreement.

What the deliverable records

The result specifies the modes checked, symptoms found and reasoning for possible causes, including limitations.
