• Broken ice maker? No water? Wont cool off? Here
  are the most common problems in fridges, what
  probably caused them and how to fix them.
• Imagine opening your fridge and having to toss
  everything into the trash. When your refrigerator
  isnt working properly for an extended time,
  thats exactly what youd have to do. The good
  thing is many of the most common problems are
  something you can troubleshoot and you can find
  Refrigerator Repair in Mumbai. Here are five
  common snafus, plus their likely causes and quick
  fixes.

Problem 1 My fridges temperature isnt cold
enough.

• Likely Culprit The defrost thermostat needs to
  be replaced if the contacts have frosted over.
  First, though, unplug your fridge and try
  cleaning the condenser coils with a condenser
  coil brush or vacuum. If that doesnt work, call
  in an expert.

Problem 2 My ice maker isnt working.

• Likely Culprit The ice maker motor module may
  have seized up and needs to be replaced. Another
  likely culprit could be a clogged water inlet
  valve. Check for any kinks or tears but
  remember to shut the valve off from the household
  water supply or youll have a sitcom-like
  flooding situation to deal with, too. Check to
  see if the screen, or filter, is clogged with
  debris. There could also be a problem with the
  ice-making mechanism. Most modern fridges use
  heat to release the cubes (it sounds
  counterintuitive, we know), and theres a series
  of electrical tests to diagnose that problem. If
  you dont know your water valve from your filter,
  though, call a pro.

Problem 3 My refrigerator isnt working.

• Likely Culprit The electronic control board
  could be damaged from a power surge, worn-out
  relays or open circuits, and might need to be
  replaced.

Problem 4 My refrigerator is making strange
noises.

• Likely Culprit If the electronic control board
  is damaged, it would need to be replaced. This
  will cause problems with your fridges
  compressor, aka the part that circulates the
  refrigerant through the system. Remove the relay
  and test to make sure the connection isnt fried
  by shaking it. If you hear a rattle, its time to
  replace it.

Problem 5 My refrigerator is not dispensing
water or ice.

• Likely Culprit Are you changing the filter
  regularly? Over time, the water filter in your
  fridge will collect and store the debris and
  contaminants its designed to filter out. So
  first and foremost, change the filter regularly.
  In many of the newer fridges, theres a sensor
  inside the door that tells you when to do it. The
  water valve (at the back of the freezer) might
  also need to be replaced if its clogged with
  minerals and fails to open or close.
