How to set up an Atlant two-chamber refrigerator video


The simplest electronic control unit Atlant with two buttons

A simple control panel for a series of devices from XM-4619 to XM-4626, as well as X-1601 and X-1602 (without a freezer).

3-tap setup

To adjust, just select degrees - 2, 4, 6 or 8. Accordingly, with the choice, the temperature in the freezer increases or decreases. “SUPER” turns on the super freezing mode. The function is used when storing large batches of products; it turns off automatically after 48 hours (in all layout options).

The simplest circuit shows a malfunction in the only way: the “star” and the number 2 light up at the same time; it is not possible to change the position of the indicators. The signal indicates a breakdown - you need to call a refrigerator repairman.

Why is a “coat” of ice dangerous?

Snow accumulated in the freezer compartment does not have a negative impact on the refrigeration unit itself.
However, the snow layer does not conduct heat well, and as a result, the heat exchange between the products in the freezer and the evaporator is disrupted. This leads to a deterioration in the quality of freezing products. In addition, there is a risk of damage to freezer parts when trying to remove food frozen in the snow. And the process of defrosting an Atlant two-chamber refrigerator becomes significantly more complicated, because you will have to remove a large amount of water from the chamber.

Atlant electronic control unit: 4 buttons + full set of functions

The block is used in the design of the XM-5124-ХХХ-F models, as well as versions from XM-4421 to XM-4426 and from XM-4521 to XM-4524 without a display on the door (designation “N” in the marking).

Appearance of the electronic unit

Despite its simple appearance and only 4 buttons, the unit provides a wide range of functions. Take a closer look at the display - there is enough space for most settings.

Detailed display view

The display displays standard indicators and an informative digital display, on which additional symbols may appear:

  1. Warning: “H” - indicates the temperature in the chamber is exceeded. “L” - signals a value below the set value. “SC” and “SN” indicate the activation of the “super cooling” and “super freezing” functions.
  2. Fault signals: images “F1”-“F3”, “E1”, “E2” appear or signals “H”, “L” are on for more than 24 hours.

The left “F” button is responsible for turning on the freezer compartment and switching modes, and the right one is for the refrigerator compartment. The temperature selection button (with arrows) helps to change the parameter, “OK” confirms the choice. To configure, press “F” several times until the desired icon starts flashing, then select a parameter or change the value using the arrows. In this way, the temperature is set, the super-freezing, beverage cooling, and “vacation” modes are activated and deactivated.

Installation of a built-in refrigerator

The main rule when installing refrigeration equipment is to leave gaps for air circulation. This will help avoid overheating. If the unit is built into a cabinet, there should be gaps of at least a few centimeters on all sides. The cabinet where the built-in refrigerator is located should not be completely closed - take a cabinet with a missing back wall.

There is a shelf at the bottom of the furniture cabinet, with ventilation holes underneath it. A gap of up to 10 cm is left above the equipment.

All other installation rules (closer to outlets, further from heat and water, at a distance from furniture) also apply. Decide in advance how you will connect the cable - from above or below the device.

Instructions for installing the unit inside the cabinet:

  1. Check the dimensions of the device and the kitchen cabinet. Check if there are gaps on all sides.
  2. Place the device in the pencil case.
  3. Attach the front and doors.
  4. Install decorative and protective elements.
  5. Connect to the network.

External door

If you want to completely integrate the refrigerator into the cabinet of the kitchen unit, choose the method of fastening the door:

Possible options:

  • installation of runners on the cabinet door;
  • the door remains motionless relative to the cabinet door.

In the first case, when opening, the door smoothly slides along one or two guides (the exact number is determined by the height of the cabinet). There is no need to fix the door - it will move itself when opened. To do this, a metal corner connected to the guide is fixed on the door.

More details in the video from YouTube:

If you plan to build in the “refrigerator” incompletely, a door is not needed - the refrigeration unit will be located in an open cabinet without doors or separately from the unit.

To ensure that the installation does not stand out from the overall design of the room, we recommend:

  • paint to match the kitchen unit, kitchen walls, electric stove;
  • cover with polymer film;
  • cover the outer wall with a chalk board.


Sockets for electrical appliances and household appliances must be located in an open area.

Electrical connection

The main rule at this stage is to ensure free access to the outlet.

When connecting the refrigerator, remember:

  • you cannot close the socket, because of this you will not be able to pull out the plug in time in the event of a short circuit or breakdown, you will have to move the device away from the wall;
  • a limited amount of equipment is connected to the extension cord (no more than 2 units), since otherwise the load on the cable increases;
  • the socket should be located under the tabletop, above or on the side;
  • do not forget about working grounding.

Run the extension cord along the baseboard behind the kitchen unit - this will increase the safety of the electrical appliance and reduce the risk of injury if a person catches their foot on the cable.

The presence of a circuit breaker in the refrigerator connection circuit allows you to prevent equipment breakdowns during voltage surges, thunderstorms, flooding and other emergency situations.

Electronic control unit with clock function

The block was used in models МХМ-1841 - МХМ-1848 (the series was called “New Wave”). A similar element is installed on XM-6001 and XM-6002. The designs use 2 Atlant electronic control options:

First type control: temperature only

The developers combined the digital part with indicators for quick control. The solution helps you use the electronic panel without instructions - everything is clear without words:

  1. Indicators, buttons. The pictures around the edges show which buttons control the refrigerator/freezer compartment. “Snowflake” activates the freezing mode. “Signal off” removes the warning when the door is open for a long time.
  2. Digital block. Consists of windows for two-digit and single-digit numbers. The first shows the temperature in the freezer, information signs, fault codes. The second is the temperature in the refrigerator compartment. Standard information signs - “H”, “L”, “SC”, “SF”. The remaining signals begin with the letter “F” and indicate a breakdown.

Option with a clock

The second type of design offers advanced capabilities - setting the time, 3 options for displaying information, turning on the “super cooling” mode in the refrigerator compartment. The panel is divided into halves: on the left is the freezer control, on the right is the refrigerator compartment.

To select a display mode, press the dot button the required number of times. The display shows the mode number:

  1. Temperature. In this mode, you can set cooling parameters separately for each chamber - press the arrow button on the desired side.
  2. Time. To set the clock, press and hold the dot button (far right) until the numeric indicators flash. Use the arrows on the left to set the MO temperature, and the arrows on the right to set the XO temperature. To exit the clock setting, hold down the dot button again for 3 seconds.
  3. Mixed. The display alternately (30 seconds) displays degrees and time.

Alphanumeric designations of modes and faults are standard.

Operating the Freezer

Let's look at each stage separately in more detail.

Installation and connection

Install the freezer in a dry, well-ventilated room. Make sure that there are no heat sources near the device. But in what sense is “close”? Consider:

  • The distance between the chamber and the electric oven should be three centimeters.
  • Heating devices should be located at a distance of five centimeters.
  • Furniture should be located at a distance of two centimeters.

Now let's discuss the main rules:

  • Avoid direct sunlight on the freezer.
  • Ventilation openings must be accessible at all times.
  • The device cannot be used outdoors.
  • After you have completed the installation of the freezer, it should not be connected to electricity for 2-3 hours.
  • For electrical power, use an outlet that is grounded. Please check before connecting. The voltage in the network must match the voltage recommended by the manufacturer of this device.
  • Before connecting for the first time, the surface of the device should be wiped with warm water. In this case, warm water should be diluted with acetic acid. If moisture remains, it can be removed using an ordinary napkin.

Next, we will consider the rules for freezing and storing food.

Defrosting rules

Defrosting rules:

  • If defrosting is done manually, it should be done using a plastic scraper. The ice should not be more than three millimeters thick. A plastic scraper is included in the general kit of the device.
  • If the ice is six millimeters thick, then defrosting is performed.
  • To perform manual defrosting, please read the instructions carefully.
  • A freezer that has the above defrosting function only needs to be cleaned once a year.

A properly configured freezer is the key to its excellent functioning.

Temperature and mode regulation

The temperature in this equipment is set depending on the ambient temperature and the number of products stored inside it. The temperature also depends on the frequency of opening the device door.

To adjust the temperature, a regulator is used, which is located under the mask of the device. The roller must be installed at the required division. “Division 1” is the highest temperature, “division 7” is the lowest.

There is a “Storage” mode, which is intended for freezing and storing products whose weight does not exceed four kilograms. To achieve high-quality freezing of a much larger quantity of products, it is necessary to use another mode - “Freezing”. This mode must be turned on in advance one day before loading the products.

Rules for freezing and storing products

The following rules apply:

  • If you are storing fresh products, ensure that they do not come into contact with already frozen products.
  • Fresh products must have the daily requirement.
  • To ensure product safety, monitor loading levels. It should be three centimeters below the edges of the equipment.
  • You shouldn't open the freezer often.
  • Monitor the expiration dates of frozen products.

Taking Precautions

Precautionary measures:

  • Do not use extension cords for electrical power. Use a start-up relay.
  • Keep children away from the equipment.
  • If your hands are wet, do not touch the stamp socket under any circumstances.
  • Carbonated drinks or drinks in glass bottles cannot be frozen.

How to call a refrigerator repair technician

Call by phone

MTS

1. Tell us the brand and model of the refrigerator

2. Describe the problem

3. Indicate the address and agree on the time of the visit

The purpose of a refrigerator is to store food for a long period. Some models are equipped with a regulator, which you can set correctly yourself. Atlant brand models are widely used due to their availability. They meet modern requirements and are equipped with a regulator. In the Atlant refrigerator, the temperature can be adjusted using an electronic or mechanical unit.

Warranty

The warranty card included in the delivery set indicates the warranty period for the refrigeration appliance. This period is taken into account from the date of sale, and in the absence of a sale mark - from the date of manufacture, which is indicated in the serial number of the product.

During the warranty period, quality control of the refrigerator is carried out free of charge.

Today there is a huge variety of technologies that move progress forward, and this has not even spared refrigerators. But there is something that remains unchanged for a long time and does not lose popularity: the Atlant two-chamber refrigerator. Instructions for its use will be discussed below.

How many degrees should it be

The temperature in the refrigerator is maintained by a combination of various components, including the compressor. The frequency of its activation and the duration of operation determine the temperature inside the chamber. Different products must be kept under different conditions:

  • Meat, fish and eggs are stored at +1…+3°С.
  • Dairy products and soups do not spoil in an environment with temperatures ranging from +3...+5°C.
  • Culinary and sausage products are stored at +5...+8°C.

The more complex the technique, the wider the choice of settings. The Atlant brand produces a large number of refrigerators with main and freezer compartments, allowing you to store food in various conditions.

In the refrigerator compartment

The main refrigerator compartment is used to accommodate most products that do not need to be stored for an extended period.

The temperature in the refrigerator should be in the range of +3...+8°C.

It is difficult to set the exact temperature for stored products, since the recommended conditions may vary significantly. As the indicator decreases, the device begins to work more, so energy costs increase significantly.

In the freezer

The freezer is designed for deep freezing and long-term storage of contents. Therefore, the cold is maintained at -16...-24°C. When considering what temperature should be in the freezer, it is worth considering that everything depends on the task at hand. The features are as follows:

  • It is difficult to preserve vegetables and fruits at home. In this case, deep freezing is not required, since after defrosting the basic properties may change.
  • For fish and meat, the lowest value is selected. Such products tolerate deep freezing well and do not lose their properties after thawing.

The temperature in the freezer is maintained due to high-quality insulation and periodic activation of the compressor, which supplies cold. To reduce costs, it is recommended to open the door infrequently, as cold air will escape out.

How to defrost quickly

There are often situations when it is not possible to wait a couple of hours. There are several ways to expedite the process for these situations.

Boil water in a saucepan. Place it on a shelf or a specialized cork stand in the middle of the refrigeration equipment. Hot steam will help the snow cap melt quickly. Use a household hair dryer

Important! Follow safety rules; the hair dryer and its cord should not be exposed to water. The jet must be directed directly at the snow, avoiding the penetration of hot air onto the compactor. Pour hot water into a spray bottle and spray it onto the ice.

Soon it will begin to crack and melt faster. Wet a rag or sponge in hot water and wipe off the ice crust with it, this will significantly speed up the process.

Important! It is highly discouraged to chip away at the ice or scrape off the snow with anything. You may damage the housing or refrigerant pipes.

Trying to quickly defrost the refrigerator in this way, you expose yourself to the risk of being left without your own Atlas. Repairs will require a lot of money and time.

How to set the temperature in the Atlant refrigerator

For a long period, refrigerators were produced that supported only one temperature mode, and the presence of an adjustment function was not provided. The setting allows you to regulate energy consumption and the degree of freezing of the contents. All adjustment devices can be divided into two main categories:

  • Mechanical. In this case, the adjustment involves changing the position of the rotary disk, above which the scale is located. A similar mechanism is installed on many budget models, because it is easy to use and reliable.
  • Electronic. The device is represented by a digital panel; installation provides for indicating the mode or temperature. Electronic control units can be implemented in a variety of ways; the modern offer is represented by a large display.

The location of the adjustment device depends on the features of the model. The two-compressor refrigerator is equipped with two control units. Temperature adjustment in the Atlant refrigerator is carried out in the same way as in equipment from other manufacturers.

Before directly setting the temperature, you need to take into account several recommendations from the experts:

  • The ambient temperature largely determines how the refrigerator will operate. As the heat increases, it becomes more difficult for the device to function. Most Atlant models operate normally at +16…+32°С. In summer, it is not recommended to set the temperature too cold, as this puts a lot of stress on the compressor.
  • Over time, the basic performance characteristics of the refrigerator may change. At the same time, in the same mode there may be more or less cold, it all depends on several factors: workload, frequency of door opening, technical condition.
  • It is recommended to periodically check the indicator using a thermometer. This will allow you to find out the technical condition of the device, since a drop in the indicator indicates a malfunction and the need to replace freon.
  • If, when changing the thermostat, the temperature remains unchanged, then it is recommended to call and call a technician. This sign often indicates a malfunction of the main components of the structure.

The operating instructions, which are compiled by the manufacturer, contain all the recommendations regarding the installation and operation of the Atlant refrigerator.

Mechanical regulator

The thermostat is installed to maintain the required operating mode. The set temperature on No Frost is maintained throughout the entire operating time of the device, for which the motor is periodically turned on. Among the features of using a mechanical regulator, we note the following:

  • Changing the operating mode is carried out by rotating the regulator. The temperature set in the refrigerator compartment is maintained throughout the entire period of operation of the device.
  • When rotating clockwise, the coldness increases, counterclockwise, it decreases.
  • The numbers on the handle do not indicate the temperature. They are used to determine the position of the regulator. Therefore, the device should be configured taking into account the fact that as the number increases, the temperature in the refrigerator compartment decreases.
  • In most cases, the adjustment involves setting a value from 1 to 7.
  • It is recommended to select number 3, since this mode is suitable for storing a wide variety of products. The rate may be increased if it is hot outside.

The temperature in the freezer compartment of a household appliance remains within a wide range. You should not choose mode 6-7, since the cold is achieved through prolonged operation of the compressor. In some cases, the Atlant refrigerator may not turn off for several hours, which causes the compressor to burn out and a significant increase in energy consumption. Adjusting the indicator is easy, but it takes time to change the temperature.

Electronic regulator

Many refrigerators began to be equipped with electronic regulators, which are installed externally at the top of the device. You can regulate the temperature in the Atlant refrigerator using a similar device as follows:

  • The change is made using the key, which adds and decreases the main indicator.
  • In most cases, the adjustment range is from +2...+8°С.
  • One press of the key allows you to change the indicator by 1°C.
  • A small analog display is installed to display information.

Before you set the temperature, you should determine what you want to set. An indicator that is too low is chosen in rare cases.

The purpose of a refrigerator is to store food for a long period. Some models are equipped with a regulator, which you can set correctly yourself. Atlant brand models are widely used due to their availability. They meet modern requirements and are equipped with a regulator. In the Atlant refrigerator, the temperature can be adjusted using an electronic or mechanical unit.

Controls

The configuration is carried out by the user independently. For simple two-chamber models with 2 compressors, made in Minsk, above the refrigerating chamber are:

  • Three indicators: red, green and yellow.
  • The temperature control rollers are divided from 1 to 7. The higher the number, the stronger the freezing.
  • The "Freeze" mode switch is located between the rollers.

The indicators light up in divided colors when the freezer and refrigerator compartments are turned on. When the Freeze mode is on, the yellow light is on. When the temperature in the freezer compartment rises, the red indicator lights up.

Refrigerator two-chamber Atlant XM

This situation occurs after the chamber is loaded with fresh products, as well as due to a malfunction. If the red light does not go out for a long time, you should contact the repair service.

For reference! The designation of two-chamber appliances Atlant XM and MXM indicates the location of the freezer compartment. Atlant MXM has a freezer at the top and a refrigerator compartment at the bottom. For Atlant XM models it’s the other way around.

Defrosting the refrigerator in 8 steps

Step 1: Adjust the refrigerator temperature to 0 degrees, then unplug it and open the door wide open.

How to defrost a refrigerator with two compressors? The principle is still the same, the only difference is that its chambers can be defrosted one by one or at the same time.

Step 2: Remove all food from the chamber. It’s good if you planned the defrosting of the refrigerator in advance and were able to organize supplies so that there are no perishable or frozen foods left among them. And if not? The following tips will help you preserve food while defrosting the refrigerator:

  • Take the food out onto the balcony (in winter);
  • Place the food in a pan and place it in a bowl filled with cold water and ice;
  • Place the food in a thermal bag (insulated bag) along with bags filled with ice cubes and place it in a dark, cool place. Thermal pack can be purchased at a hardware store.
  • The thermal package can be replaced with foil polyethylene or any reflective insulating material that is sold in hardware stores. In this case, the products just need to be wrapped in the same way along with ice packs.
  • If your refrigerator is a two-compressor one, then you can first defrost the upper chamber and put all the food in the lower compartment, and then do the opposite.

Also remove all containers, shelves and bars from the cells. By the way, we advise you not to take food out of the refrigerator directly in containers, as the plastic may crack due to their weight.

Step 3. If your refrigerator does not have a container for collecting melt liquid, place towels or several layers of newspaper sheets under it, and a drip tray on the bottom shelf. Typically, this measure is required for older models of refrigerators; with modern equipment, the water is drained into a special sump (most often it is located at the back of the refrigerator).

Step 4. Now all you have to do is wait for the refrigerator to defrost. The natural process of melting the ice coat can take from 3 to 10 hours, depending on the thickness of the ice.

The best way to defrost your refrigerator is the traditional way - just leave it overnight.

But if you wish, you can speed up the process with simple steps. First, let the refrigerator just sit for half an hour, then choose one of the following methods for faster defrosting and start practicing.

Ways to quickly defrost a refrigerator

  • Method 1: Place a heating pad filled with hot water in the freezer.
  • Method 2. Place a board in the chamber and a pan of boiling water on it. Change the water as it cools. Do not place pots of boiling water without a plate to avoid damaging the plastic. After 30-60 minutes of this “bath”, the ice coat should begin to break off.

Method 3. Fill a spray bottle with hot water and start spraying the walls of the chamber with it. After 15 minutes or more, the ice will begin to break off.

  • Method 4. Place a heater opposite the refrigerator so that melt water cannot contact it and warm air is not directed directly at the rubber seal.
  • Method 5. Is it possible to defrost a refrigerator with a hairdryer? Yes, if you hold it at a distance of 20-30 cm from the walls of the chamber, distribute the hot air evenly and do not direct it directly at the rubber gasket. And of course, do not neglect to follow safety rules and completely eliminate contact of the hair dryer with water.
  • Method 6. Dampen a rag in hot water and wipe the ice with it. Repeat the procedure until the ice begins to break off.

Atlant refrigerator does not work

When the red light on the refrigerator panel is on, this is an alarming signal. The most harmless thing that can happen is that after loading the chamber with food, the system did not have time to cool everything to the set temperature. Therefore, the indicator may light up.

But if after a few hours the light does not go out, the reason may be a breakdown. First you need to check if the door of the device is broken:

  1. Look how tightly the door fits to the body. The hinges may have become misaligned or the seal may have worn out. When warm air enters the chamber, the refrigerator does not turn off and works without stopping. Because the system, compensating for the increase in temperature, produces cold.
  2. If the engine does not turn off to rest, the reason may be a breakdown of the thermostat or temperature sensor. As a result, the main module does not receive information about the temperature in the chamber, and therefore does not give a command to turn off the motor.
  3. Blockage of the evaporator capillary. You will need the help of a professional to clean it.
  4. Leakage of freon gas also leads to constant operation of equipment. It is necessary to find and eliminate the leak, and also fill the system with refrigerant.
  5. When the set temperature is not reached, you should pay attention to the operation of the motor. When the compressor wears out, it does not have enough power to create pressure in the tube. The temperature does not increase, the red indicator on the panel is on.

The display in the refrigerator does not work and the light in the compartment does not light up? The problem is in the control module. The electronic board needs to be diagnosed, flashed or replaced.

Of course, the reason for the lack of light could be a light bulb that burned out. You can replace it yourself. Don't forget to disconnect the XO from the network.

If you notice snow and ice on the walls of the Atlant refrigerator compartment, the reason may be a malfunction of the No Frost. What could have gone wrong:

  • Evaporator heater that turns on during defrost. Thus, the frost melts, droplets of moisture flow into the drainage hole and are removed from the system. If the heater is broken, defrosting does not occur, so you need to check and replace the faulty element.
  • Thermostat in mechanically controlled refrigerators. Maybe it's set to "Maximum" so it doesn't stop cooling.
  • The drainage system is clogged. Then drops of moisture have nowhere to drain during defrosting, so ice freezes on the walls. It is necessary to defrost and clean the hole.
  • A refrigerant leak is also accompanied by snow build-up on the evaporator or at the site of mechanical damage to the chamber.

Preparatory work. Main part of the installation

Before starting installation, you should always read the instructions from the manufacturer and find out about the installation requirements for it. Some models of modern production require special conditions and additional installation requirements. This category may include, for example, smart refrigerators. They require conditions that are not imposed on conventional units.

After delivery, the refrigerator should not be immediately released by the seller’s representatives, but should be unpacked and inspected for damage in their presence. Inspect the body of the refrigerator: it should not have dents or scratches. The power cord should be carefully examined for scratches, kinks or other defects from the factory. If there are problems, the refrigerator should be returned initially to avoid further power failures and breakdowns.

If there are no comments, you can proceed with installation. The refrigerator is leveled at the place where it was originally intended to be placed. The cable should be securely fastened to the back wall. You can only plug it in after 12 hours. The time depends on the method of transportation. If it was tilted, then this time increases to 24 hours. After the specified time has passed, all that remains is to plug it into the outlet. The outlet must be grounded.

How to level a refrigerator if the legs are only at the front

When a location has been chosen, the refrigerator is installed level. When removing the protective packaging from the equipment, make sure that it contains all the elements and components.

It is important that the refrigerator is level, which guarantees its full functionality. In addition, its door will close with a slight push of the hand. To increase the accuracy of the work, you can use a building level.

Let's look at the instructions:

  • We install the equipment in the right place;
  • see if the ventilation gap at the rear and adjacent walls has been taken into account;
  • We place the building level on the lid or in one of the compartments;
  • adjust the leg until the level is taken into account;
  • The front legs need to be slightly raised until the refrigerator tilts back by about 2 degrees. This slope will be sufficient for ordinary closing of the door.
  • check the level again.
