6 Signs Your AC Compressor Needs Repair Right Now
Most compressor problems show clear warning signs before complete failure. The earlier you act, the lower your repair cost.
AC Runs But No Cooling
If the fan runs fine but the room stays warm, the compressor is likely failing to compress refrigerant properly. This is the most common compressor fault in Dhaka’s hot climate.
Loud Clicking or Grinding Noise
A compressor that starts up with a loud bang or makes grinding noises during operation signals internal mechanical damage. Ignoring this can lead to total system failure.
Sudden Spike in Electricity Bills
A struggling compressor draws significantly more current than normal, causing your monthly electricity cost to rise even when usage stays the same.
Outdoor Unit Shaking Excessively
Vibration and rattling from the outdoor unit during startup often indicates a hard-starting compressor or worn mounting components that need immediate attention.
AC Trips or Cuts Off Repeatedly
If your AC circuit breaker trips frequently, the compressor may be drawing too much current — a sign it is overheating or nearing the end of its service life.
Oil or Refrigerant Leakage Visible
Oily residue or refrigerant stains around the compressor body indicate internal seal failure. Leaks lead to gas loss, reduced cooling, and compressor burnout over time.

AC Compressor Repair Services We Provide
From diagnostic checks to full compressor replacement, we cover every type of compressor problem — for both residential and commercial AC systems in Dhaka.
Compressor Health Diagnosis
We use professional gauges and electrical testing tools to accurately identify whether the compressor is faulty or if another component — like the capacitor or PCB — is causing the cooling issue.
Compressor Overhauling & Rewinding
For compressors with repairable motor winding faults, our technicians perform precision rewinding — a cost-effective option that can extend compressor life without full replacement.
Compressor Replacement
When repair is not viable, we replace with a compatible new or reconditioned compressor — using genuine parts that match your AC model for long-term reliability.
Refrigerant Gas Refilling
Every compressor service includes checking and refilling the AC refrigerant gas to manufacturer-specified levels — essential for full cooling performance after any compressor work.
Capacitor & Start Relay Replacement
Sometimes the compressor itself is fine but fails to start due to a faulty capacitor or start relay. We test and replace these low-cost components before recommending a full compressor swap.
Fridge Compressor Repair
We also handle refrigerator compressor repair in Dhaka — the same expert diagnosis and fix process applied to your fridge when it stops cooling.

What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from Dhaka residents who trusted us with their AC compressor repairs.
“My Samsung 1.5-ton AC stopped cooling in the middle of summer. The technician from R. K. Refrigeration came the same afternoon, identified a failed compressor capacitor, replaced it on the spot, and the AC was running fine within the hour. Very professional.”
“Three other shops told me I needed a full compressor replacement costing over ৳20,000. R. K. Refrigeration diagnosed it properly and found the issue was just the start relay — total cost was under ৳1,500. Honest and skilled team.”
“We had two commercial ACs in our office repaired by R. K. Refrigeration Works Ltd. Both had compressor problems. The team came on time, finished the work in one visit, and both units have been running perfectly for over 4 months now.”

Frequently Asked Questions — AC Compressor Repair
Answers to the most common questions Dhaka homeowners and businesses ask us about AC compressor problems.
A low-gas AC usually still cools a little but inefficiently. A faulty compressor typically shows no cooling at all, makes unusual noises, or causes the outdoor unit to start and immediately cut off. Our technicians use pressure gauges and electrical testing to give a definitive diagnosis. Often what looks like a compressor failure turns out to be a gas leak or capacitor fault — a much cheaper fix. Never assume without a proper diagnosis.
As a general rule, if your AC is under 8 years old, repairing or replacing only the compressor is almost always more cost-effective than buying a brand-new unit. If the AC is 10+ years old and has multiple issues beyond the compressor, then replacement may make more financial sense long-term. We give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation — not just the option that earns us more money.
A diagnosis takes 30–45 minutes on-site. Minor repairs like capacitor replacement take 1–2 hours. A full compressor replacement typically takes 3–5 hours depending on the AC model and floor access. If a specific compressor model needs to be sourced, we may complete the full replacement in two visits. We always give you a time estimate upfront.
The cost varies widely based on the fault. A simple capacitor replacement starts around ৳800–৳2,000. Compressor rewinding costs ৳3,000–৳6,000. A full 1-ton compressor replacement (including labour and gas refill) typically ranges from ৳8,000–৳14,000, and 1.5-ton from ৳10,000–৳18,000. We always give you a written quote after the on-site diagnosis — no charges until you approve the work.
Yes. Inverter AC compressors require more technical expertise because they are controlled by a PCB (printed circuit board) and use variable-speed motors. Our technicians are trained to handle inverter compressor faults, including PCB-related issues. The diagnosis is more detailed and the parts cost more, but the process is the same — we quote before we start.
Yes, absolutely. All our compressor repair and replacement work is done at your home or office — no need to transport the AC anywhere. We come fully equipped with tools, testing equipment, and commonly needed spare parts. For less common compressor models, we may need one additional visit after sourcing the part, but most jobs are completed in a single on-site visit.
A new compressor installed with correct refrigerant levels and proper electrical connections typically lasts 8–12 years with regular AC servicing. Using a professional AC cleaning service every 6–12 months significantly extends compressor life by preventing the overheating caused by dirty coils. We always advise on the right maintenance routine after completing a compressor replacement.
