Single Door Fridge (1/5 HP - 1/4 HP)
Smaller compressors used in single door fridges (150-250L) are the cheapest to replace and widely available in Samastipur.
Signs: Compressor completely dead, or humming continuously without starting.
Rs 3,500 - 4,800Double Door Fridge (1/4 HP - 1/3 HP)
Double door and frost free fridges use a slightly larger compressor to handle the bigger cooling load across two compartments.
Signs: No cooling anywhere, compressor silent or tripping the MCB on start.
Rs 4,800 - 6,500Large Frost Free / Side-by-Side
Bigger family-size fridges (400L+) need a higher capacity compressor plus more refrigerant and labour time for a full gas charge afterward.
Signs: Complete cooling failure on a large capacity fridge.
Rs 6,500 - 8,500Inverter Compressor (with PCB module)
Inverter fridges use a compressor paired with a control module. If the module is also damaged, it adds to the cost — we test both separately before quoting.
Signs: Compressor makes unusual noise then stops, or won't respond to the display panel.
Rs 7,000 - 10,000Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth replacing the compressor on an old fridge?
As a rough rule: if your fridge is over 10 years old and needs a compressor, we usually recommend comparing the repair cost to a new fridge's price before deciding — we'll give you an honest opinion at inspection, not just a sales pitch.
What warranty do you give on a replaced compressor?
New compressors we fit typically carry manufacturer warranty of 1 year, and our labour is covered separately under our workmanship guarantee.
How long does compressor replacement take?
Usually 3-5 hours including removal, fitting, vacuuming the system, and a full gas recharge — most jobs are completed in a single visit.
Can a compressor be repaired instead of replaced?
No — compressors are sealed units and cannot be opened or repaired. If the compressor itself has failed, replacement is the only option.
