Household refrigeration equipment uses microprocessor-based control units that detect component failures and inform the owner by displaying a digital or alphabetic message on the display. For example, the F5 error displayed on the display of the Atlant refrigerator indicates an unacceptably high voltage in the electrical network, which can cause irreversible damage.
Error codes
made sure that consumers could get an idea of what caused the incorrect operation of the equipment.
To do this, the instructions included information about what a particular error code means. The most common ones are:
- F1 indicates that the air sensor has failed. In some cases, a complete replacement of the element will be required. You need to check the wiring and how tightly the contacts are connected.
- Error F2 of the Atlant refrigerator indicates problems with the evaporator sensor. All parts are inspected, including the cable leading to the sensor. Faulty components are replaced with new ones.
- F3 means that the freezer sensor or some of its elements is broken.
- Error F4 appears when the mains voltage is below 170 V. The problem is solved when the desired value is restored.
- F5 means that due to external factors the voltage has risen above 260 V, and the system protects the equipment from overheating.
- F6 gives a signal that the problem is in the freezer motor. This may damage the entire refrigerator.
- F7 reports that the freezer compressor has burnt out.
- The L icon indicates that the chamber temperature has dropped and needs to be adjusted.
- Error H indicates that the temperature in the compartments is above the permissible standard. The cause may be loosely closed doors or incorrect position of the thermostat. In some cases, defrosting helps.
- Atlant refrigerator error codes that begin with the letter E indicate a failure in the evaporator:
- E1 means that the heater is faulty: it may become covered with ice, which will prevent the free rotation of the fan blades;
- if error E2 is displayed, this indicates damage to the defrost system, which is easier to repair.
Brand "Atlant": characteristics and reviews
Atlant refrigeration equipment is in great demand and is widely represented on the Russian market. Despite the fact that Atlant is a Belarusian brand, the build quality is in no way inferior to European equipment.
A wide range of models, constant improvement, high energy efficiency class, as well as the use of highly environmentally friendly materials - all these are the main advantages of Belarusian refrigerators. The filling of refrigerators is made of environmentally friendly plastic and impact-resistant glass, and the units are filled with safe R600a refrigerant.
Refrigerator Atlant
Also, the advantages of Belarusian refrigerators are their simple and clear design, the availability of a choice between single-chamber and double-chamber devices, and the ability to select a refrigerator according to individual parameters. In addition, the absence of newfangled touch screens and electronic controls, which most modern models are equipped with, allows you to avoid unnecessary breakdowns and reduce purchase costs.
By choosing the Antlant refrigerator, you can hope for long-term and convenient operation. It is important not to neglect the rules for using the equipment and in case of any malfunction, contact a specialized service center.
When everything is fine, although the H icon is on on the Atlant refrigerator
Error H on the display does not always indicate a breakdown. Often the reason is related to the normal operation of the refrigerator or the forgetfulness of the owners. Here are typical situations when everything is in order with the Atlant refrigerator.
- You just turned on the Atlant refrigerator: new or after defrosting. The temperature in the chambers drops to the set value gradually. Therefore, at first, a message about increased temperature appears on the display.
- You have put a lot of food in the freezer or refrigerator compartment. For this reason, the temperature in one of the chambers or both rose, and the temperature sensor responded to its increase. You can wait until the food cools gradually, or use special fast freezing and/or cooling modes.
- You put something hot in the refrigerator compartment. Error H can be caused by a situation where something hot is placed inside the Atlant refrigerator: a pot of soup, a frying pan or a plate of hot food. Wait until the temperature drops to the specified values, and the error will disappear on its own. From now on, do not put hot food in the refrigerator compartment, let it cool down.
- The freezer is overgrown with snow and ice. If the freezer is not equipped with the No Frost system, it must be defrosted manually in time. Otherwise, a thick coat of ice and snow acts as a thermal pad, and the temperature in the chamber rises. This is what the H indication on the freezer display indicates. To fix the error, you need to defrost the refrigerator.
- The compartment door is not closed. If the door of the refrigerator or freezer compartment is accidentally left open, after a while the refrigerator will signal an increased temperature with this error. Check how the products are stacked, they may get in the way. If everything is in order, it means the door was simply not pressed properly.
What to do when the code is on, although the refrigerator has not been defrosted, the door is normally closed, and the food has been put in for a long time? Call a technician because the Atlant refrigerator displays error H due to a breakdown.
Possible malfunctions with the letter H on the Atlanta display
Atlant refrigerators are very popular in Russia. Their breakdowns are often accompanied by error N. We have repaired thousands of such refrigerators. Here is a rating of breakdowns that had to be fixed when such an error occurred.
The compressor broke down - from RUB 1,900*
The motor-compressor may burn out, short out or seize. In the first case, the compressor will not start at all, in the second - it will turn on and then turn off, in the third - the motor will hum, but there will be no cold.
In single-compressor models, Atlant will warm up in both compartments, and an error will appear on both parts of the temperature display. On models with two motors, the H indication will flash on the part of the display whose motor-compressor has failed.
To fix the problem, you will have to replace the compressor.
The door seal has lost its shape - from RUB 1,200*
When the seal is damaged, dirty or worn, the door does not fit tightly. The compartment is constantly filled with warm air, and the temperature sensor transmits a signal to the control module that the refrigerator is warm. In this case, the motor-compressor works constantly and does not turn off.
More often, this breakdown occurs in the refrigerator compartment, because it is used more actively than the freezer, so its seal wears out faster.
The rubber seal needs to be replaced.
Refrigerator door hinges are deformed or damaged - from RUB 1,200*
The refrigerator door itself is quite heavy, and in addition it is loaded with food on the shelves. Therefore, the hinges become loose and/or deformed, the door warps, does not close well, and gaps appear through which warm air from the room penetrates into the refrigerator. The temperature in the chamber rises and the H code appears on the display. The compressor rarely turns off.
Broken hinges are more common on refrigerator doors because they are used more often. But the freezer compartment sometimes also suffers: small children love to ride on it.
To get rid of the error, you need to tighten the hinges or replace them.
Faulty temperature sensor - from 1400 rubles*
An overtemperature error appears if the temperature sensor that turns on the cooling has failed and the control module does not receive a signal from it. For this reason, the refrigerator does not turn on and it becomes warm inside.
Depending on which camera’s thermal sensor has failed, an error appears on that part of the display. If the temperature sensor that turns on the cooling is common to both chambers, then error H lights up on both parts of the display, and there is heat in both compartments.
To restore the operation of the refrigerator and clear the error message, the temperature sensor is replaced with a new one.
Freon leak - from 1800 RUR*
A refrigerant leak leads to an overload of the compressor, which does not shut down. But even constant operation of the motor cannot provide the required amount of cooling. The refrigerator loses freon, the temperature in one (if the refrigerator has two compressors) or in both chambers rises, and Atlant displays code H. Sometimes ice may build up in the compartments. After defrosting the refrigerator, it does not turn on at all.
The main places of leakage are: the heating circuit of the freezer perimeter, the “crying” evaporator, locking connections. The technician will determine the place where the freon is leaving and carry out the necessary repairs: cut the heating circuit, replace the “crying” evaporator (if it is in the foamed part, the technician will install a hinged one inside the refrigerator compartment) or make a new locking connection.
The capillary pipeline is clogged - from RUB 1,800*
Sometimes the Atlant refrigerator displays error H on the display due to a clogged capillary tube. The diameter of the capillary is minimal, and the lumen is easily clogged with paraffins. They are formed when freon comes into contact with contaminated compressor oil.
The refrigerant does not flow well through the clogged tube, and the compressor is forced to work almost continuously to cool the chambers. But even these efforts are not enough, and the temperature rises, and error H blinks on the display. In a single-compressor refrigerator, both chambers suffer, in a two-compressor refrigerator, only one.
Usually the technician changes the capillary tube. But in mild cases, when the blockage is partial, the technician pushes through the blockage with a special jack.
Defrost does not work (in Atlant Full No Frost models) - from 1400 rubles*
The system fails due to a blown fuse, a failed defroster sensor, a burnt-out heating element, or a faulty timer. It will be warm in the refrigerator compartment, but there will be ice in the freezer. A temporary solution is to defrost the refrigerator. Within one to two weeks, both cameras will work normally, and then the error will appear again.
It is necessary to replace the faulty part in the defrost system.
The fan is faulty (in Atlant Full No Frost models) - from 1800 rubles*
Usually the motor burns out or the blades break. The refrigerator compartment does not cool and the error H flashes on the display.
The fan needs to be replaced.
The damper does not work (in Atlant with No Frost in both chambers) - from 1600 rubles*
It is stuck in the “closed” position. Therefore, air from the freezer compartment evaporator does not enter the refrigerator compartment. The temperature in the chamber rises, and the sensor signals the control board about the increase in temperature and an error lights up.
The damper needs to be repaired or replaced.
Solenoid valve - from RUB 1,300*
Installed in Atlant models with one compressor, but separate temperature control in the compartments. Works in two modes:
If the valve is stuck in the “we only cool the freezer compartment” position, the refrigerator compartment will be warm. Therefore, the refrigerator will display error H on the part of the display responsible for the refrigerator compartment.
A new valve needs to be installed.
Reed switch door closing sensor - from 1400 RUR*
A faulty limit switch prevents the refrigerator compartment light from going out. Although its power is small, during prolonged operation it heats the air inside the refrigerator. As a result, an alarm is triggered and error H is displayed on the display of the refrigerator compartment.
The reed sensor needs to be replaced.

What to do if H is flashing on the Atlant refrigerator
The Atlant refrigerator served you faithfully for many years, and then one day it began to show H on the display. The letter N flashed:
- on the refrigerator compartment display;
- on the display of the freezer compartment (at the same time, an alarm went off: a red bell on the refrigerator body flashed or an exclamation mark on the screen, perhaps the refrigerator beeped);
- on the screen of both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
The refrigerator and/or freezer compartment may have become warm.
