As we know, during the defrost cycle, the refrigerator temperature usually increases because the cooling system shuts off and the heater turns on to melt the ice in the refrigerator. This process can cause the temperature inside the refrigerator to rise, but it typically returns to the normal cooling temperature range within a few hours. However, if the temperature of the refrigerator rises outside of this range, which often goes unnoticed, food stored in the refrigerator can be exposed to high temperatures and become spoiled.

MOCREO’s sensors can help you solve this problem. Just like one of our customers, by using our product to set the temperature alert limit above the temperature when not in the defrost cycle, they can receive the notification in time when there is abnormal temperature fluctuation. Just he said “ I loved this system. My devices are on the first floor. Just remember to set your alarm limits above the temperature that your freezer achieves in defrost cycle.” In addition, our customers also use our sensor to check if the refrigerator’s compressor is running properly. They check the compressor’s operating frequency, the defrost cycle’s duration, and the amount of time it takes to melt the refrigerator’s ice.

Also, we have another customer who shared with us that they were able to get a new refrigerator by using our product. “I bought the MOCREO temp kit and used it to watch the freezer temperature swings. When I went to the appliance store, I was able to show them on my phone that twice a day the freezer was doing a 40 degree defrost cycle. The freezer fans should turn off during defrost and not blow hot air into the compartment. The store delivered a new freezer on the very next Monday. The MOCREO saved me from having to deal with lost food and possibly months/years of warranty troubleshooting.”
