Fridge and freezer repair
Warm shelves, a puddle under the crisper or a fridge that runs and runs? A local technician comes to your home, tests the cooling system and explains the fix before any work starts.
Open a question to see what usually causes it and a quick check you can safely do yourself. If the check does not help, call us and tell us what you found.
The light and fan run, but the cabinet keeps warming up. Often the start relay or overload has failed, and less often the compressor itself.
This fan under the fridge cools the compressor. When it stops, the compressor overheats and shuts off, and cooling stops with it.
The board tells the compressor and fans when to run. One burned relay can leave every part working but switched off.
Make sure the controls are not set to Off or a showroom mode, and leave a few centimetres of space behind the fridge for air. Give it a few hours after any change before you call.
This fan pushes cold air through the freezer and into the fridge. If you hear no fan with the door switch pressed, it may have stopped.
A bad heater, thermostat or timer lets ice build up on the coil until air cannot get through. Thick frost on the back panel is the usual sign.
Low refrigerant means the coil never gets cold enough. We test for it last, after ruling out the fans and the defrost parts.
Look at the back wall inside the freezer. A thick layer of frost points to a defrost fault. Also check that bags and boxes are not blocking the air vents.
A torn, flattened or hardened gasket lets warm air in. You may see frost near the door or water drops on the seal.
A sagging door or a cracked cam stops the door closing on its own and leaves a gap at one corner.
Most fridges should lean back slightly so the doors swing shut. If the front sits too low, the doors drift open.
Close the door on a sheet of paper. If the paper slides out easily, the seal is weak at that spot. Also check that no shelf or drawer is pushing the door open.
A sensor that reads the wrong temperature makes the board show a code and cool too much or too little.
The main board and the display talk through a wire harness. A loose plug or a damaged wire shows up as a communication code.
If the code keeps coming back after a reset, the board may be failing. We test it before we suggest a replacement.
Write down the exact code. Unplug the fridge or switch it off at the breaker for five minutes, then turn it back on. If the code returns, call us with the code and the model number.
