Refrigerator Not Cooling in Surat Summer? 5 Steps to Fix Before Calling Tech

Surat Summer Heat vs. Refrigerator Cooling

During peak summer months in Surat, ambient temperatures rise above 40°C. Refrigerator compressors must work twice as hard to dissipate heat from condenser coils.

5 DIY Checks Before Scheduling Service

1. Check Condenser Coil Dust Build-up

The coils at the back or bottom of your fridge radiate heat out. Heavy dust layer acts like a thermal blanket, trapping heat and causing the compressor to overheat and trip off.

2. Verify Door Gasket Seal

Place a ₹100 note between the door rubber seal and fridge frame. Close the door and pull the bill. If it slides out with zero resistance, warm humid Surat air is constantly leaking inside, melting your ice!

3. Listen for Back Clicking Noise

If you hear a distinct "click... 2 minutes pause... click" sound near the bottom of your fridge, your compressor starter relay switch is tripping due to overload or voltage drop.

4. Defrost Blockage in Double Door Fridges

If the top freezer is freezing ice cream but the bottom fresh food vegetable drawer is warm, the automatic defrost heater or air duct is blocked with ice.
