Read this first

If cooling has stopped, keep the doors shut and move perishable food to other cold storage. Use an appliance thermometer; never taste food to test it.

Before you book a Kiriazi fridge repair

These checks help you describe the fault; they do not replace an inspection.

  • Identify the type: no-frost (no visible ice, internal fan) or defrost (a rear cooling plate that frosts lightly, then melts).

  • Check the setting: Premier Digital uses its touch screen; other series have a thermostat dial whose numbers are not degrees.

  • Doors and vents: nothing should hold a door open, and no-frost air vents must stay clear.

Kiriazi refrigerator faults by symptom

Pick the closest description. Causes are possibilities, not a diagnosis.

Freezer cold, fridge section warm (no-frost)

What you see

Frozen food is solid, but the lower section is warm.

Likely causes

Cold air comes from the freezer by fan; a defrost fault icing the evaporator, a dead fan or a blocked duct look alike.

Safe to try

Clear the air vents and check the doors. Never chip at ice: a punctured evaporator leaks refrigerant.

Technician

Tests fan, defrost heater, thermal fuse, sensors and duct; unplugging for a day only hides the fault.

Neither section cools

What you see

Both sections warm; the running sound has stopped, or it clicks every few minutes.

Likely causes

Power supply, thermostat or control board, compressor start components, then the sealed system. A lit lamp does not mean the compressor runs.

Safe to try

Note whether the screen and lamp work and whether it clicks. Do not keep replugging it.

Technician

Tests supply, relay, overload and compressor current. On inverter models (KH690LN/15, KH625LN/15) the inverter board is checked before the compressor.

Ice builds up in a no-frost fridge

What you see

Ice on the freezer's back wall or round the door, sticking drawers, ice back weeks after defrosting.

Likely causes

Humid air past a poor gasket, a faulty defrost heater, sensor or electronic control, or a blocked drain.

Safe to try

Check drawers do not hold the door open; photograph the ice. No knives or hair dryers.

Technician

Checks door seal, defrost components and drain path instead of just melting the ice.

Water under the vegetable drawer or on the floor

What you see

Water pools in the cabinet, drips onto shelves or wets the floor behind.

Likely causes

Usually a blocked defrost drain, a slipped drain hose or a full evaporation tray. Single-door Senorita and Hi-Lux have a collection tray to empty. Kiriazi's announced fridges have no water dispenser, so no external water connection.

Safe to try

Photograph where water appears. Never push wire or boiling water into the drain, and keep clear if water nears the socket.

Technician

Traces the source, clears the drain and finds why it blocked: defrost ice or debris.

Defrost model: thick ice or frozen food

What you see

On Almaza, Morgana, Crystal and sister models: thick ice on the cooling plate, frozen vegetables, a compressor that never stops.

Likely causes

A thermostat that never cuts out, the coldest setting or a slack gasket. Manually defrosting the freezer compartment is normal.

Safe to try

Use a middle setting; defrost the freezer unplugged, door open, no sharp tools.

Technician

Measures thermostat cut-in and cut-out and checks its sensing bulb and the gasket.

Loud noise or repeated clicking

What you see

A new noise or vibration, especially with weak cooling.

Likely causes

Touching containers, an unlevel fridge, the no-frost fan rubbing on ice, or compressor start components. Some creaks and gurgles are normal.

Safe to try

Separate containers and record the sound from a safe distance. Do not touch the compressor.

Technician

Locates the source before proposing a fan or start-circuit part.

Premier screen unresponsive or settings changing

What you see

The Premier Digital touch screen ignores touches, shows an odd symbol or a temperature that feels wrong.

Likely causes

Child lock, Super Freeze and ECO are declared features, not faults. Otherwise the display board, sensors or main board.

Safe to try

Use your manual to release the child lock and cancel modes. Photograph the screen first.

Technician

Checks sensor readings and display connections before condemning the main board.

Does weak cooling mean a Freon (refrigerant) recharge?

No. In no-frost models, most 'freezer works, fridge doesn't' complaints come from airflow or defrosting, with the sealed circuit intact.

  • The circuit is sealed: refrigerant is not used up. A low charge means a leak, found and repaired before recharging.

  • Type and charge: read them from the nameplate; Kiriazi does not publish the refrigerant type on its product pages.

  • Opening the circuit, brazing and recharging are for a qualified technician with vacuum equipment.

Display messages: what to record before inspection

We have not found a model-specific official code table in the sources reviewed. Send the display and model-label photos; a code alone does not identify a failed part.

From booking to a tested repair

Technician checking a Kiriazi fridge compressor16062Confirm appointment and fees
  1. Call 16062 or WhatsApp 01050887010 with the label photo, fault and area.

  2. Confirm the appointment, inspection and travel fees, and what you pay if you decline the repair.

  3. After inspection, ask for the cause, the measurement behind it, and parts and labour cost.

  4. Approve once cost, part availability and the repair-warranty terms written on the invoice are clear. Let the temperature settle before returning perishable food.

Kiriazi refrigerator parts: fit over looks

Components used in Kiriazi refrigerator repair

A 450 L Zomorroda defrost heater differs from a 690 L Premier's, so parts are chosen by the model code. Ask about source, compatibility, price and warranty. Original or compatible parts are checked per request, not guaranteed for every model.

  • Door gasket
  • Evaporator fan
  • Defrost heater
  • Thermal fuse, sensors
  • Thermostat
  • Timer or control board
  • Relay and overload
  • Compressor
  • Drain hose and tray

Tips that protect cooling and food

  1. Keep the fridge at 4°C or below and the freezer near -18°C; check with an appliance thermometer.

  2. Leave ventilation space, away from the cooker and direct sun.

  3. Keep no-frost air vents clear; on defrost models keep bags off the rear cooling plate.

  4. After a power cut, wait a few minutes before reconnecting, or use a voltage protector.

Arrange an inspection at your address

Give your district and fridge type. Customer service confirms visit availability, the appointment and any travel fee; we assume no branch or fixed arrival time anywhere.

Questions about Kiriazi refrigerator repair

What is the number for Kiriazi refrigerator repair?

For a fridge still under the manufacturer's warranty, Kiriazi's official hotline is 19091. Our independent center, for fridges outside the warranty, is on 16062 and WhatsApp 01050887010.

Where is the Kiriazi fridge repair center?

We arrange home visits and advertise no drop-off branch, so agree a plan before moving the fridge. Kiriazi's own service centers, listed on its website, are separate from us.

Why does the freezer work but the fridge not cool?

In Kiriazi no-frost models cold air comes from the freezer, so a fan, defrost or duct fault shows below first.

Do you repair the Kiriazi 'Grand' no-frost?

'Grand' is not an announced Kiriazi series (Premier, Solitaire, Zomorroda, Fayrouza, Lo'lo'a); it is probably a popular name for a large no-frost. Send the nameplate photo and we will work from the actual model.

Water under the vegetable drawer: does the hose need replacing?

Usually not. The defrost drain is normally blocked by ice or debris and needs clearing; recurring ice points to a defrost fault.

How much does a compressor replacement cost?

It depends on the compressor's capacity and type (conventional or inverter), the model and related work. Ask why it is needed and for the cost before approving.

How long is the repair warranty?

Repairs carry a 6-month warranty on the work performed. We explain its scope and terms before you approve the repair. Keep your job details for follow-up.

Book a Kiriazi fridge inspection

Send the model label and tell us: no-frost or defrost, where cooling is weak, since when, and your area.
