Question 7

What number or position should the thermostat of the HCA 401 Y be set to for the refrigerator and freezer?

Accepted Answer

According to the manual for the HOOVER HCA 401 Y, it is best to set the thermostat to the middle position.

How to adjust the thermostat

The knob has a numerical scale with the position 0 that completely stops the appliance
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the cooling intensity
Set to the middle position (neither too low nor too high)

Target temperatures

Refrigerator compartment: between +2°C and +8°C
Freezer compartment: -18°C or colder

Adjustments based on your situation

The manual does not provide the exact correspondence between each number and a specific temperature. Ambient conditions (kitchen temperature, frequency of door openings, amount of food) influence the result. If you find that the cooling is insufficient or too intense, adjust by one or two positions and wait 3 to 4 hours before checking again.

Question 8

How to check if the thermostat of the HCA 401 Y is working properly?

Accepted Answer

Testing the thermostat operation

The thermostat of the HCA 401 Y controls the cooling intensity based on its setting. Here’s how to check if it is working properly:

Practical tests

Compressor cycle: The compressor (motor visible at the back) should turn on and off regularly. If it runs continuously without interruption, the thermostat is likely not switching correctly.
Dial adjustment: Turn the thermostat knob clockwise - the cooling should gradually increase. At position 0, the appliance should stop completely. If this variation does not exist, the thermostat is faulty.
Temperature measurement: Place a thermometer in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. The temperature should be between +2°C and +8°C for the refrigerator compartment. If it does not vary or remains extremely high/low, check the following conditions before concluding a failure.

Conditions to check before diagnosis

Before concluding that the thermostat is defective, ensure that:

The thermostat is not set to 0 (off)
The refrigerator door has not been left open for a long time
You have not introduced large quantities of fresh food recently (slows down cooling)
Air circulation is not blocked by food (leave space for ventilation)
The condenser at the back of the appliance is not dirty or blocked against a wall
The frost accumulation does not exceed 4-5 mm

Warning signals

A red alert light turns on when the freezer temperature becomes incorrect. This can occur at first startup, if the door remains open, or after a large influx of fresh food. It turns off once the temperature returns to normal.

Question 9

Why does my HOOVER HCA 401 Y refrigerator freeze food even at a low thermostat setting?

Accepted Answer

If your HCA 401 Y is freezing food despite the thermostat being set to a low position, several factors may be at play.

1. Check the thermostat setting

According to the manual, you should turn the knob clockwise to increase cooling intensity. If it is set too high (close to maximum), the appliance cools too much. Try setting it to a mid position, which is recommended for optimal operation.

The 0 position completely stops the appliance. Gradually move the knob to the left (counterclockwise) to reduce the cold.

2. Food positioning

Do not place your food directly in front of the cold air vent of the refrigerator. The cold air comes out of this area and can freeze food placed too close. Keep the most sensitive foods (dairy products, fruits, vegetables) away from the shelves or air circulation openings.

3. Blocked air circulation

Check that nothing is blocking air circulation inside: arrange your food so that air can pass between the shelves. A total blockage creates extremely cold areas.

4. Frost accumulation

If frost accumulates to more than 4-5 mm thick, it restricts airflow and creates freezing zones. Regularly clean the refrigerated compartment to avoid this issue.

5. Check the compressor operation

Listen to see if the compressor (motor visible at the back) starts and stops regularly. A faulty thermostat can cause it to run continuously, leading to over-freezing.

If the problem persists even with the knob in a low position and the adjustments above, the thermostat may be defective and require technical intervention.
