Fridge not cooling
Common causes are a faulty thermostat or sensor, a failed relay or capacitor, a stopped fan, a defrost problem or a gas leak. We test them in that order.

Fridge stopped cooling? Paras Refrigeration repairs every type of refrigerator at your home in Bhubaneswar — single-door and double-door, direct-cool and frost-free, side-by-side and inverter fridges, as well as commercial fridges used by shops and offices. A fridge is heavy and awkward to move, so our technicians diagnose and fix it where it stands.
We find the actual fault before replacing anything. A fridge that has stopped cooling may need only a new relay or thermostat, not a compressor — so you get a clear explanation and quote first, and the repair begins only after you approve it.
Common causes are a faulty thermostat or sensor, a failed relay or capacitor, a stopped fan, a defrost problem or a gas leak. We test them in that order.
Typical of frost-free fridges with a defrost fault or a blocked air channel between the freezer and the fridge compartment.
Points to a failed defrost heater, timer or sensor, or a worn door gasket letting humid air in.
Usually a blocked defrost drain or a displaced drain tray. Cleaning the drain often solves it.
Often the starting relay or overload protector rather than the compressor itself. We check these before recommending compressor work.
We trace and repair the leak, then charge the correct refrigerant. Recharging without fixing the leak does not last.
Move perishable food to a cool box or a neighbour's fridge, leave the fridge plugged in unless it smells of burning, and note the model number from the label inside the door. If the fridge shows an error code or makes a clicking sound every few minutes, mention it when booking — it helps the technician bring the right parts.

Bhubaneswar's hot summers make fridge compressors work harder, and frequent voltage fluctuations can damage relays, PCBs and compressors. If your area sees regular power cuts or low voltage, a stabilizer suited to your fridge is worth considering. Keep a gap of a few inches behind the fridge so the condenser can release heat.
