Fridge Not Cooling? Common Refrigerator Problems and Repair Costs in India

Your refrigerator works 24 hours a day. When it stops cooling, your food spoils within hours. Understanding the exact problem helps you avoid overpaying for unnecessary repairs. We fix all major brands across India, including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and Godrej.

Why is your fridge not cooling? A lack of cooling usually points to a refrigerant gas leak or a failed compressor. If you hear a clicking sound every few minutes, your compressor is trying to start and failing. If the compressor runs constantly but the inside remains warm, you likely have a gas leak.

How much does refrigerator repair cost? Standard visiting fees for appliance technicians in major Indian cities range from ₹300 to ₹600. In tier-2 cities, expect to pay ₹200 to ₹400 for the initial diagnosis.

• Gas Refilling: Recharging the refrigerant costs between ₹1,200 and ₹2,500. Single-door fridges under 200 litres sit at the lower end of this price range. Double-door and side-by-side models require more gas and cost more.
• Compressor Replacement: This is the most expensive repair. A new compressor costs between ₹4,000 and ₹12,000. Premium inverter compressors often reach ₹15,000.
• Thermostat and PCB: Replacing a faulty thermostat costs ₹800 to ₹1,500. Electronic control board (PCB) repairs range from ₹2,500 to ₹6,000.

When to call a professional Do not attempt to refill refrigerant gas yourself. Refrigerator systems operate under high pressure. Contact our technicians for a same-day diagnosis and repair. We carry manufacturer-approved spare parts for all major brands to get your appliance running immediately.

Kitchen Chimney Repair

Indian cooking relies heavily on deep-frying and oil-based tadka. This cooking style generates thick, sticky grease. If your kitchen chimney fails to pull smoke out of the room, you end up breathing in that vapor. We service Elica, Faber, Hindware, and all other chimney brands.

The main causes of poor suction Clogged baffle filters block airflow directly. Test your suction by holding a piece of newspaper against the filter while the chimney runs. If the paper falls, your suction is too weak. You must clean baffle filters in hot water and detergent every two weeks. If you own a ductless chimney, you must replace the carbon filters every three to six months. You cannot wash carbon filters.

What causes loud chimney noise? A rattling sound usually means loose mounting brackets or screws. A grinding or heavy humming noise points to worn motor bearings. Debris and hardened grease inside the blower assembly will also unbalance the fan blades, causing the whole unit to vibrate violently.

Typical chimney repair costs Basic chimney servicing and deep cleaning start around ₹450 to ₹650. If your motor fails entirely, a replacement motor costs between ₹3,000 and ₹6,000 depending on your exact model and suction capacity.

Book your chimney service Ignoring a clogged chimney creates a severe fire hazard. Thick grease inside the ductwork ignites easily. Book a professional deep clean or repair service today to restore your chimney’s original suction power and keep your kitchen safe.

Gas Hob and Oven Repair

A broken cooking appliance stops your daily routine. Gas hobs often suffer from blocked burners, while microwave ovens face electrical component failures. Our repair teams handle Bosch, Glen, IFB, and all premium cooking appliances.

Why your gas hob burner fails to light Spilled milk, water, or cooking oil frequently clogs the brass burner ports or covers the spark electrode. If you hear the clicking sound of the ignition but see no flame, clean the burner head with a stiff wire brush. Ensure the electrode is completely dry before trying again.

Warning signs of dangerous gas hob issues A healthy gas flame burns bright blue. If your hob produces a yellow or orange flame, the burner is not getting enough oxygen. This incomplete combustion releases carbon monoxide and blackens your cookware. You need a technician to adjust the air shutter or clean the internal gas jets immediately.

Common oven and microwave failures When an oven turns on but fails to produce heat, the heating element or the magnetron is broken.

• Microwaves: A failed magnetron completely stops the heating process. Replacing a magnetron requires opening the high-voltage cabinet.
• Convection Ovens: If your baked goods cook unevenly, the convection fan motor or the thermostat has failed. A broken thermostat fails to read the internal temperature, causing the oven to either undercook food or burn it entirely.

Schedule your repair Gas and high-voltage electrical appliances pose severe safety risks. Do not disassemble your oven or disconnect gas lines yourself. Call our verified technicians for secure, fast repairs right in your kitchen.
