Helpful answers regarding doorstep checking, repairs, spare parts, and visiting charges in Salem.
Fridge cool aagala? Loss of cooling in IFB refrigerators is commonly caused by a burnt PTC compressor starter relay, a failed thermostat, or low refrigerant gas pressure. Our Salem technician checks the starter relay and sealed system pressure on-site.
Bottom-la cool aagala? In frost-free fridges, this is caused by a burnt defrost heater or faulty bimetal sensor, which allows ice to choke the air duct. Our technician clears the ice block and installs a fresh defrost sensor.
Indicative pricing for IFB: PTC start relay kit ₹500 – ₹1,050, mechanical thermostat ₹600 – ₹1,200, and sealed system gas recharging ₹1,500 – ₹2,550.
Clicking every two minutes indicates the compressor is tripping on thermal overload due to a burnt starter relay or low input voltage. We replace the start relay kit on-site.
Water leaks inside the cabinet when the defrost drain tube gets choked with food particles or ice. Our technician clears the drain channel so water drains to the rear pan.
