Fridge Not Cooling in Uganda? Complete Fix Guide

Your fridge stopped cooling in Uganda? Gas leak, compressor failure, or thermostat issues. Fix tips and when to replace. Yoola Kampala.

A fridge that stops cooling in Uganda is a crisis. With power cuts and voltage fluctuations, fridge failures are common. Here is how to diagnose the problem step by step.

Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1

Check if the fridge is getting power. Listen for the compressor hum. If silent, check the socket and stabilizer.

Step 2

Clean the condenser coils at the back. Dust buildup in Kampala causes the fridge to overheat and stop cooling.

Step 3

Check the thermostat setting. It may have been accidentally turned to a warmer setting.

Step 4

Do not overfill the fridge. Blocked air vents prevent cold air circulation.

Step 5

If the fridge runs but does not get cold, you may have a gas leak. This requires a technician.

Still Not Working?

Fridge repair in Kampala costs UGX 100,000-350,000 depending on the issue. New fridges from UGX 450,000. If the compressor is dead, replacement is usually more cost-effective.
