• However, before you make a call to professional

Refrigerator Compressor Fan Stops Working

• One of the easiest ways to know if the
  refrigerator compressor is bad is to simply look
  at the compressor fan. Separate the refrigerator
  from the wall, but leave it plugged into the
  outlet. If you are not familiar with the location
  of the compressor fan in your unit, simply locate
  it in the owner's manual. You can also check the
  schemes online by looking at your brand and model
  of refrigerator.
• Refrigerator compressor fan is one of the
  important parts of the cooling system. Just like
  a computer has a processor, it needs a fan that
  works all the time to cool the unit and prevent
  overheating. If the compressor fan stops moving,
  the refrigerator will start making strange
  noises.
• Regarding that the compressor fan does not move
  when the refrigerator is on, it will not be a
  problem that you can easily solve.

Refrigerator Compressor Clicks On and Off
If you see that your compressor turns on and off,
or does not work, you should check if there is a
relay start problem. It could also mean that
there is some kind of compressor overload. This
should be verified because the compressor could
easily explode if not taken care of properly. You
can check it with an amplifier meter or, again,
call someone with experience in electrical
devices and appliances. But this does not mean
that you will have to pay a lot of money. In most
of the cases, a dirty relay can cause such
problems therefore, it only requires a proper
cleaning and maintenance. If you need an expert
technician to solve your refrigerator problems,

Refrigerator Not Cool Enough

• Another way to know how to know if the
  refrigerator compressor is bad is that it is no
  longer cold enough. First, you will notice that
  the items in the freezer are soaked and not
  frozen. Items in the refrigerator that used to be
  cold are now hot or at room temperature. If you
  grab a bottle of water or a soda and it's not
  cold as you remember, something may be wrong with
  the compressor.
• If you have that amplifier meter, testing the
  compressor will give you the immediate answer as
  to whether it can be repaired or not or if the
  part needs to be replaced. You can easily remove
  and replace the part yourself. However, if you
  feel more comfortable with a professional
  technician who handles the work, you must go
  ahead and make a phone call Videocon Refrigerator
  Repair Service Center.
• Isolating the cause of warmer temperatures by
  testing the compressor could save you money on a
  repair. This is because a technician will not
  diagnose the problem it is simply there to
  replace the damaged part.

Refrigerator Noisy Compressor
This is a fairly common problem. The compressor
is generally silent in most modern refrigerators,
so if it makes noise, it is obviously not a good
sign. You must first verify where the noise comes
from. If it is the compressor itself, it may be
too late. Usually, a noisy compressor is a bad
compressor, so you should probably replace it
immediately. Keep in mind that the compressor is
the device that handles the gas and pressure
inside the refrigerator, so noise may be
associated with high pressure and poor gas
maintenance.
