Common Refrigerator Problems We Repair

Fridge Not Cooling Properly

If your refrigerator isn’t cooling, the problem could be caused by:

• Faulty thermostat
• Compressor failure
• Condenser coil blockage
• Evaporator fan issues
• Refrigerant system faults

Our technicians perform a full inspection before recommending the most effective repair solution.

Freezer Not Freezing

A freezer that no longer freezes food properly may indicate:

• Defrost system failure
• Damaged fan motor
• Faulty temperature sensor
• Compressor issues
• Blocked airflow

Prompt repairs help prevent food spoilage and further appliance damage.

Fridge Leaking Water

Water leaking around your refrigerator is often caused by:

• Blocked drain lines
• Damaged door seals
• Defrost drain problems
• Internal plumbing faults

Ignoring leaks may damage flooring and kitchen cabinets.

Fridge Making Strange Noises

Buzzing, clicking, rattling, or humming noises often indicate worn or failing components such as:

• Compressor
• Condenser fan
• Evaporator fan
• Motor bearings

Early diagnosis often prevents more expensive repairs later.

Fridge Keeps Tripping the Power

If your refrigerator causes your circuit breaker to trip, it may indicate an electrical fault within the appliance or your home’s electrical system.

Our qualified electricians can also inspect your electrical installation if required.
