Start With the Basics
Before assuming a major fault, a few simple checks rule out common, easily-fixed causes:
- Check the temperature setting hasn't been accidentally changed
- Make sure the door is sealing fully — a worn gasket lets cold air escape constantly
- Check that vents inside aren't blocked by overpacked food, restricting airflow
- Listen for the compressor — if it's silent, that's a different fault path than if it's running but not cooling
Common Causes Behind No Cooling
Low Refrigerant (Gas Leak)
A slow leak reduces cooling gradually over time rather than stopping suddenly.
Compressor Failure
If the compressor doesn't start at all, this is often the cause — needs proper electrical testing.
Frost Buildup Blocking Airflow
A faulty defrost system can let ice build up on the evaporator coils, blocking cold air circulation.
Condenser Coils Dirty/Blocked
Dust buildup on coils (common in Mumbai's dusty urban air) reduces heat exchange efficiency.
Control Board Fault
The board can fail to properly cycle the cooling system even when other components are healthy.
Faulty Door Gasket
A worn or torn seal lets warm air in constantly, making the fridge work harder without keeping up.

How Long Does This Kind of Repair Take?
Simple fixes (gasket replacement, coil cleaning) are usually done in the same visit within 30-60 minutes. Gas leak repairs and compressor replacements take longer and depend on part availability — we always quote and explain before starting any work.
Is This Covered Under Warranty?
If your LG fridge is still under company warranty, cooling issues are typically covered. If the warranty has expired, an independent repair — with genuine parts and its own service warranty — is usually faster than the company's service queue, and often more cost-effective too.
