A fridge that stops cooling is the one appliance breakdown that cannot wait. Food starts spoiling within hours, especially in Dubai heat. Our refrigerator technicians cover every Dubai community, carry the most common cooling parts, and diagnose the fault in your kitchen, so most fridges are cooling again the same day.

We diagnose compressor efficiency, defrost heaters, and thermostat accuracy to ensure optimal food preservation temperatures.
Eco-Friendly Gas Refill
Safe refrigerant leak detection and precision R134a/R600a gas top-ups according to manufacturer guidelines.
Magnetic Gasket Fitting
Replacement of cracked or loose door seal gaskets to prevent cool air leakage and reduce electricity consumption.
Common Refrigerator Problems We Repair
Our technicians have encountered and fixed every appliance malfunction possible in Dubai homes. We troubleshoot and resolve these issues on a daily basis:
Refrigerator Not Cooling
Often caused by a faulty starter relay, dirty condenser coils, a defective thermostat, or low refrigerant gas levels.
Fridge Leaking Water Inside
Commonly due to a blocked defrost drain line causing melted frost to overflow into the fresh food section.
Excessive Frost in Freezer
Indicates a failure in the automatic defrost system: failed defrost heater, thermostat, or control timer.
Compressor Clicking & Not Running
Points to compressor overload, a failed start capacitor, or issues with the electronic PCB control board.
Loud Hum or Buzzing Noise
Usually caused by a worn evaporator fan motor in the freezer, or a vibrating condenser fan blade.
Spoiling Food & Bad Temperature Control
Commonly linked to cracked door gaskets (magnetic seals) allowing hot air in, or a failed thermistor sensor.

Fridge Not Cooling? The Most Likely Causes
“Fridge not cooling” is the most common reason customers call us. The cause depends on what you can hear and see. If the light is on but the fridge is warm, and you cannot hear the compressor running, the usual suspects are the start relay or overload, the compressor itself, or the control board. If the compressor runs but the fridge stays warm, the problem is usually airflow or refrigerant: a failed evaporator fan, a frozen-over evaporator caused by a defrost fault, or a slow gas leak.
In no-frost fridges, a very common pattern is a freezer that still works while the fresh-food section warms up. This almost always means ice has blocked the air channel between the two, because the defrost heater, defrost sensor or thermal fuse has failed.
Compressor clicks on and off: start relay, overload protector or capacitor
Compressor runs non-stop but no cooling: refrigerant leak or blocked capillary
Freezer cold, fridge warm: defrost system failure or evaporator fan
Fridge too cold / freezing food: faulty thermistor, thermostat or damper
Everything dead: power supply, main PCB or inverter board
Refrigerator Gas Refilling and Leak Repair
Refrigerant does not get “used up”. If a fridge is low on gas, there is a leak. Simply topping it up only buys a few weeks. Our technicians locate the leak with electronic detectors and nitrogen pressure tests, repair or braze the leaking joint or section, vacuum the system to remove moisture, and then recharge with the correct refrigerant (R600a or R134a) by weight according to the rating plate.
Compressor, Inverter and PCB Repairs
Modern Samsung, LG, Hitachi and Bosch fridges use inverter compressors driven by an electronic board. Many “dead compressor” diagnoses from other companies turn out to be a failed inverter PCB or a sensor, which costs much less to fix than a compressor. We test the compressor windings and the board before recommending any replacement.
Why Fridges Fail More Often in Dubai
A fridge in Dubai works harder than the same model in Europe. Kitchens and utility rooms regularly sit above 30°C, and in summer many units run close to 24 hours a day. The compressor has less time to rest, the condenser has to reject heat into air that is already hot, and fine dust and sand settle on the coils and fan blades.
That is why most of the refrigerator breakdowns we see happen between June and September: compressors that overheat and trip, start relays that burn out, condenser fans that seize and gas leaks that finally become noticeable when the load is highest.
Leave at least 5–10 cm of space behind and above the fridge so the condenser can breathe.
Clean the condenser coils and the rear grille every 6 months; more often in villas with sand exposure.
Use a voltage stabilizer if your building has frequent power dips; they damage compressors and PCBs.
Check the door gasket: a torn seal lets hot, humid air in and causes ice build-up and constant running.
Repair or Replace Your Fridge?
Most fridge faults (relays, fans, sensors, defrost heaters, door gaskets, thermostats) are worth repairing at any age. A compressor replacement or major gas-system repair is worth it on a fridge under 8–10 years old that is otherwise in good condition. On an older, low-efficiency fridge, we will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Fridge Repair Across Dubai
We cover all Dubai communities, including Dubai Marina, JLT, JVC, Al Barsha, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, Downtown, Bur Dubai, Karama, Deira, Al Nahda, Al Qusais, International City, Discovery Gardens, Mirdif, Silicon Oasis, Al Warqa and Jebel Ali.
Yes. Book before 4 PM and a technician visits the same day. Most fridge repairs, including relays, fans, sensors, thermostats, defrost heaters and door gaskets, are completed in one visit. Gas leak repairs and compressor replacements usually take a few hours longer.
Why is my freezer working but the fridge is not cooling?
In no-frost refrigerators, cold air from the freezer is blown into the fridge section. If the defrost system fails, ice blocks this air duct and the fridge warms up while the freezer stays cold. The fix is usually a defrost heater, defrost sensor, thermal fuse or evaporator fan.
How do I know if my fridge needs a gas refill?
Signs include a compressor that runs constantly, a fridge that cools weakly, and frost forming only on part of the evaporator. A refrigerant shortage always means a leak, so the leak must be found and repaired before the system is recharged.
Is it worth repairing an old refrigerator?
Minor faults are almost always worth repairing. For compressor or sealed-system repairs on a fridge older than 10 years, compare the repair quote with the price of a new energy-efficient fridge. Our technician will give you an honest recommendation.
Why is water leaking under or inside my fridge?
Water inside the fridge is usually a blocked defrost drain. Water under the fridge is usually a cracked drip tray, a leaking water dispenser line, or a blocked drain hose. All are quick repairs.
Do you repair freezers and chest freezers too?
Yes. We repair upright freezers, chest freezers, deep freezers and the freezer sections of all refrigerators, including thermostat, compressor, gas leak and defrost faults.
Why is my refrigerator not cooling but the light is on?
This is usually caused by a failed starter relay on the compressor, dirty condenser coils blocking heat dissipation, a faulty defrost thermostat, or low refrigerant gas due to a system leak.
How often should I clean my refrigerator condenser coils?
We recommend cleaning condenser coils at least once every 6 months. In Dubai's dusty environment, coils can quickly get coated with dust, forcing the compressor to run hotter and consume more electricity.
What is a refrigerator defrost cycle issue?
If you notice heavy ice buildup in your freezer and the fridge compartment is warm, your automatic defrost system has failed. This typically requires replacing the defrost heater, thermal fuse, or defrost sensor.
