Fridge Not Cooling Repair Singapore

A fridge that's not cooling but still running usually has one of three problems: blocked back-coil vent, failed start relay, or low refrigerant. The freezer compartment usually tells the story — if the freezer is fine but the chiller is warm, it's almost always the damper or fan, not the gas.
