Most buyers, trying to be in step with the times, trying to get rid of old appliances and buy new. This trend has touched and refrigerators.

Sometimes the old Soviet refrigerators junkman buy or guest workers at the lowest possible price. Who is wise? Not only the owner of the new equipment, which will certainly break down due to voltage drop in the coming years. But what's the best the old Soviet refrigerators?

The first thing to touch the "heart" - a compressor piston type, which has been generally designed to operate 127. If the figures on the part of the mains voltage will be low, ie they will fall to 140, the Soviet compressor would still operate properly.

Yes, this will be felt vibration and shaking, because they are produced with the outer damper springs, but coupled with the increased noise pressure, the consumer receives an extraordinary reliability - the majority of this technique, released over 50 years ago, operates and in our days.

It is worth noting an unusually strong body of old refrigerators.

It is heavy, it is extremely difficult to bring to the floor of the house, but he is not afraid of strong physical impact. And nail polish refrigerator is also not afraid of scratches, while the varnish and steel blade in modern refrigerators is thin and it becomes necessary to keep the packaging if the family often moved from place to place.

Door handles in old refrigerators are of extraordinary strength. You can hang it on the whole body and it will not break, while the plastic handles of modern refrigerators break after 1-2 years of operation.

And so it is recommended to take only those versions that are recessed rather than protruding handles. The same can be said about the plastic part - the modern version of it breaks down very quickly. And so the manufacturers do not provide a guarantee on it. A warranty is given exclusively to the compressor. Often - no more than three years. And at one condition - on a factory defect, and if there was no voltage jumps.

It is worth noting, and relays. In modern refrigerators are mainly used PTK relay 2, which in fact considered disposable - they can not be repaired and adjusted. And after 8 years of operation, the plastic is painted banal Data relay.

Sometimes it is better to take an old refrigerator with a proven relay PTX-X, in which it is possible to clean contacts and start relay will again be operational. The main thing - to take the relay of Russian production, which is considered more reliable than the Chinese counterparts.
