ARS lists common problems with a refrigerator that require repair:

1. Improper supply of current

One of the main reasons for a fridge not working can be that there is no sufficient current or voltage supporting this unit. You can check this with a multi-meter and voltage tester device and get it fixed and help your fridge run perfectly fine.

2. Miniature circuit breaker (MCB)

In most of the cases, the MCB might not be working which results in fridge unable to function smoothly. Keep our contact handy and we shall set the MCB for you.

3. Motor issues

If there is a faulty or ineffective motor, in most cases the refrigerator will stop working immediately. A fridge repair professional can get the motor replaced.

4. Compressor issues

A compressor is a motor device which compresses the coolant and circulates the refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils. It is considered as the heart of a refrigerator. Make sure to keep the compressor clean and lubricated to avoid start-up issues.

5. Capacitor

Whenever the power of a fridge is switched on, the thermostat present sends signal to the capacitor to start the fridge. But if the capacitor has problems, it cannot trigger the refrigerator cycle and hence the fridge does not function.

6. Condenser coils

The condenser coils which are present at the back of the fridge converts high pressure temperature gas into high pressure liquid. In this process, if there is lot of dirt on the condenser coils, heat may not release properly and fridge may stop working at a certain point of time.

7. Control Board

The electronic control board of the fridge might be damaged due to irregular power supply or open circuits. In this case, the control board of the fridge has to be replaced. You can call any fridge repair technician nearby and they shall replace the board.

8. Thermostat

If there is a fault in the thermostat, then it cannot transmit start signal to the start capacitor as a result of which the refrigerator will also not turn on. A defective thermostat can result in a fridge not working and a professional will have to be called to get this fixed.
