Know the home, know the fault

A fast-growing urban centre with a large student population across two university campuses means there is a high demand for reliable food storage. Properties range from historic medieval, Tudor and Georgian designs to modern developments built a few miles east of the city boundary. In shared student houses or properties catering to domestic tourists, upright and chest freezers work hard. Multiple people opening the door throughout the day lets warm air inside, which forces the compressor to run longer to maintain the correct internal temperature. When warm air enters the cabinet, moisture condenses and freezes on the evaporator coils. Over time, this creates heavy ice build-up that can stop drawers from sliding properly and block the internal air vents. If the defrost heater, thermostat or timer fails, the ice continues to grow until the appliance struggles to stay cold enough. A damaged door seal will also let room air seep in constantly, leading to temperature alarms sounding and the motor running without a break. Chest models can struggle if the ambient temperature drops too low, confusing the thermostat, while upright models in a kitchen might overheat if dust clogs the condenser coils at the back. When visiting homes in places like Topsham, we repair upright and chest freezers in your home that are not freezing or are icing up. Our fault finding covers units that are not cold enough, heavy ice build-up and drawers that stick. We also investigate temperature alarms, constant running and door seal faults. We repair electric domestic appliances only and do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas equipment.
