Refrigerator Not Cooling

Symptom: The refrigerator motor runs, but both the fresh food and freezer sections remain at room temperature.
Cause: Choked condenser coils, failed evaporator fan motor, low refrigerant gas from a pinhole leak, or locked compressor rotor.
Solution: Coil cleaning, fan motor replacement, nitrogen leak testing, vacuuming, and precision digital gas charging.

Frequently Asked Questions About Refrigerator Repair

Answers to common questions regarding refrigerator issues, gas refilling, and doorstep service in Kochi.

Common causes include frost-choked evaporator coils due to a defective defrost timer or bimetal thermostat, low R600a/R134a refrigerant charge from a pinhole leak, or a faulty inverter compressor relay.

Internal water pooling under the crisper drawer or leaking onto the floor occurs when the defrost drain weep hole is choked with food residue or ice. Our technicians clear the drain line with high-pressure flushing to eliminate leaks.

Clicking noises every few minutes are usually caused by an overload protector tripping on the compressor start relay. Buzzing or vibrating sounds often indicate a worn evaporator fan motor or loose compressor mounting pads.

We recommend professional maintenance once every 12 months. This includes vacuuming dust from the condenser coils, clearing the defrost drain weep tube, checking door seal airtightness, and inspecting refrigerant operating pressures.
