Maintenance Checklist — Fridge Repair
- ✓ Clean condenser coils (back panel or bottom grille) twice a year with a vacuum or soft brush
- ✓ Check door seal by placing a piece of paper in the closed door — if it slides out easily, seal needs replacement
- ✓ Set fridge temperature to 3–5°C and freezer to -18°C for safe food storage and optimal efficiency
- ✓ Keep at least 5 cm clearance behind the fridge for air circulation around the condenser
- ✓ Defrost manual-defrost freezers when ice thickness exceeds 6 mm — thicker ice reduces cooling

Why is my refrigerator not cooling in Delhi?
A fridge not cooling is caused by: dirty condenser coils (most common — clean them), low refrigerant gas (needs recharging), faulty thermostat (not signalling compressor to run), broken door seal (warm air entering), defrost system failure (ice blocking airflow), or a failed compressor. A technician can diagnose and fix most cooling issues in 1–3 hours.
Which fridge brands do technicians repair in Delhi?
Our technicians repair all brands: LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Godrej, Haier, Videocon, Panasonic, Bosch, Siemens, IFB, Electrolux, Kelvinator, Liebherr, and all other refrigerator brands — including single-door, double-door, side-by-side, and French door models.
Why is water pooling inside or below my fridge?
Water inside the fridge is usually caused by a blocked defrost drain — the drainage hole gets clogged with food debris. Water below the fridge typically means the drain pan is overflowing, or the door seal is leaking, allowing humid air in that then condenses. Both are inexpensive fixes that a technician can resolve in under an hour.
Why is my fridge making loud noise?
Loud fridge noises have different causes: buzzing usually means the compressor is straining (low gas or dirty coils), rattling means loose panels or the fridge is not level, clicking repeatedly means the compressor is trying to start but failing, and gurgling or bubbling sounds are normal refrigerant flow sounds. Only the first two need repair.
Is it worth repairing an old refrigerator in Delhi?
If your fridge is under 7 years old, repair is almost always worth it. For 7–12 year old fridges, repair is worth it if the cost is under ₹3,000. For a fridge over 12 years old where a compressor replacement is needed, buying a new energy-efficient fridge is usually better financially. A 5-star rated new fridge can save ₹2,000–₹4,000 per year on electricity.
Can a technician do fridge gas refilling at home in Delhi?
Yes. Gas refilling (refrigerant recharging) is done at home. The technician brings specialised equipment including a manifold gauge, vacuum pump, and refrigerant cylinder. The process takes 45–90 minutes. The type of refrigerant used depends on your model — R134a, R600a, R22, or R410a. The technician will identify the correct type.
Why is my freezer working but the fridge section not cooling?
If the freezer is cold but the refrigerator section is warm, the most common cause is a defrost problem — ice has built up and is blocking airflow from the freezer to the fridge section. This is called "frost-free failure." The defrost heater, thermostat, or timer needs replacement — a common and affordable repair.
