Refrigerator not cooling — causes and what to do

Food warming up, ice melting, silent or constantly running compressor — signs your refrigerator isn't cooling. In hot Tashkent that spoils food fast. Causes: refrigerant leak, dead compressor, thermostat, frosted evaporator or No Frost fan failure.

Refrigerator repair — from 200,000 UZS, visit usually within 1 hour. +998 99 411 47 57, @Aleks_Pro_servis.

The essentials in a minute

Check mode, door seal and overloading first
No Frost — often the fan or defrost system
Refrigerant and compressor need professional tools

In detail

01

Symptoms

Soft ice cream, fridge compartment at +8…+12 °C instead of +4. Compressor won't start or runs non-stop without cooling.

Cold only in the freezer or only at the bottom — fan, damper or separate circuit issue.

02

Cause 1: refrigerant leak

Freon escapes through a micro crack — compressor runs, no cold. Needs leak detection, brazing and recharge.

DIY recharge is unsafe. AlexProService recharges after fixing the leak.

From ~250,000–400,000 UZS depending on leak location.

03

Cause 2: compressor and start relay

Compressor won't start — click and silence. Burnt windings, bad start relay (PZU) or overload.

Relay replacement from ~200,000 UZS, compressor from ~500,000 UZS.

04

Cause 3: thermostat and sensors

Thermostat thinks it's cold enough and won't start the compressor. No Frost sensor fault — no cooling.

Thermostat or sensor replacement from ~200,000–250,000 UZS.

05

Cause 4: No Frost — fan and defrost

In No Frost models cold air is blown by a fan. Broken fan or failed defrost heater — evaporator ices up, compartment warms.

Fan replacement from ~180,000 UZS, defrost heater from ~200,000 UZS.
