Freezer Working But Refrigerator Section Not Cooling in Samastipur?
This is a confusing one for most customers — the freezer is rock solid, ice trays are frozen fine, but the main fridge compartment below stays warm. It's actually one of the easier faults to diagnose since it isolates the problem away from the compressor and gas.

Blocked Air Damper / Vent
Frost free fridges push cold air from the freezer down into the fridge section through a damper and vents. If these get blocked by ice or a stuck damper flap, cold air simply can't reach the lower section.
Signs: Frost visible near the top vent, fridge section noticeably warmer near the bottom.
Rs 300 - 600Can try yourselfFaulty Evaporator/Circulation Fan
A small fan pushes cold air from the freezer into the fridge compartment. If this fan has failed, the freezer stays cold (it doesn't need the fan) but the fridge section gets nothing.
Signs: No airflow sound when you open the fridge door; freezer normal, fridge warm.
Rs 800 - 1,200Ice Blocking the Vent Passage
Excess ice buildup around the vent opening — often from a weak door seal letting in moisture — can physically block the passage even if the fan and damper are both working fine.
Signs: Visible ice chunk near the back vent inside the freezer.
Rs 200 - 400Can try yourselfOverloading the Fridge Compartment
Packing containers directly against the vent opening blocks airflow completely — this is one of the most common causes we see and needs no repair at all.
Signs: Problem improves temporarily after rearranging items.

Can I fix a blocked vent myself?
Yes — first check nothing is placed directly in front of the vent opening, and manually defrost if you see a build-up of ice (unplug for a few hours with the door open, then dry it out).
Why does only the fridge section get warm and not the freezer?
The freezer sits closest to the evaporator coil and gets cold air directly. The fridge section relies on a fan and damper to receive cold air secondhand — so a fault there affects only the lower section.
Will this fault get worse if I ignore it?
Ice blockages tend to get worse over time as moisture keeps building up, eventually affecting the freezer too. It's best fixed early.
Is this covered under warranty?
If your fridge is under manufacturer warranty, damper and fan faults are usually covered — check with your brand's service centre first.
