Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for IFB Refrigerators.
Troubleshooting tips
If your IFB refrigerator is not cooling, check if the temperature control is set correctly (recommended: 3-4 for fridge, -18°C for freezer). Ensure the door gasket is clean and sealing properly by placing a paper bill between the door and body—if it pulls out easily, the gasket may need replacement.
For excessive frost buildup in the freezer, ensure the door is not left ajar and avoid overpacking. If frost persists, manually defrost the freezer (unplug for 8-10 hours with doors open) and clean the drain hole at the back to prevent water leakage.
If the refrigerator is making loud noises, check if it is level. Adjust the front levelling legs so the unit is slightly tilted backward. Also, ensure the refrigerator is not touching walls or cabinets, and that the condenser coils at the back are clean (vacuum every 6 months).
When the refrigerator light does not turn on, first check the bulb (if accessible) and replace with an equivalent wattage. If the bulb is fine, the door switch may be faulty—press it manually to test. For models with LED lights, a service call is needed.
If water is pooling inside the refrigerator, check if the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment is clogged. Clear it with a pipe cleaner or soft cloth. Also, avoid placing hot food directly inside as it increases condensation.
