Bompani r13

Bompani error code R13 indicates: Bompani Retrò 50s Style & Contemporary Total NoFrost Dual-Cooling Refrigerator: Operational diagnostic fault code r13 signaled by internal electronics. Freezer compartment high-temperature alarm condition (temperature > -9°C for over 3 hours).

The primary root cause for Bompani code R13 is: On Bompani kitchen suites engineered with Total NoFrost air tower, 240W defrost heating element (220-320 Ω), 72°C bimetal thermal fuse, 10 kΩ NTC evaporator thermistors, and motorized damper: Refrigerant charge loss from micro-leak, compressor valve plate leakage, or door left ajar Multimeter diagnostic parameter: freezer NTC resistance must fall below 45 kΩ during active freeze down; compressor operating current 0.4-0.9A..

To resolve error code R13: Safely de-energize the appliance at the electrical distribution board. Unplug wiring connector from the affected component and verify with a digital multimeter: measure compressor operating current with clamp meter and measure freezer evaporator temperature with thermocouple. Inspect spade lugs for signs of heat discoloration. Replace defective component, restore electrical supply, and perform system reset: Open refrigerator door. Press and hold Fast Cool and Temperature Set buttons together for 6 seconds until display chimes and shows '00', clearing logged faults.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Bompani code R13 persists, the physical component causing On Bompani kitchen suites engineered with Total NoFrost air tower, 240W defrost heating element (220-320 Ω), 72°C bimetal thermal fuse, 10 kΩ NTC evaporator thermistors, and motorized damper: Refrigerant charge loss from micro-leak, compressor valve plate leakage, or door left ajar Multimeter diagnostic parameter: freezer NTC resistance must fall below 45 kΩ during active freeze down; compressor operating current 0.4-0.9A. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Compressor Motor Windings (Run/Start) & Defrost Heater across Across 3 compressor pins (Common, Run, Start): R(C-S) + R(C-R) = R(S-R). Winding to earth: >20MΩ (OL).. Expected nominal reading is 15Ω–25Ω (Run C-R), 20Ω–35Ω (Start C-S), 200Ω–400Ω (Defrost Heater). PTC Relay: 10Ω–30Ω at 25°C.. Tolerance: ±10%. Any low insulation resistance to casing (<2MΩ) trips the breaker. Defrost bimetal reads <0.5Ω when sub-zero..

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
