Know the home, know the fault
Older houses with deep historical roots can have uneven kitchen floors, which influences how a fridge freezer is installed and levelled. Integrated models might be fitted into custom cabinetry, while larger American-style units need adequate ventilation space around them to function properly. Bovey Tracey draws visitors for annual events, meaning some properties serve as holiday accommodation where appliances experience periods of heavy use followed by weeks standing idle. When a fridge freezer stops working correctly, the issue relates to airflow or the defrost system. A unit might have a working freezer while the fridge section becomes warm. This occurs when ice blocks the channel between the two compartments, stopping the fan from circulating cold air upwards. Frost and ice build-up inside the cabinet points to a failing defrost heater or a faulty thermostat. Water leaking inside the fridge or pooling onto the floor is another issue, caused by a blocked defrost drain tube. Noisy running indicates a failing compressor or a worn evaporator fan motor struggling to turn. During a visit, we examine the appliance in your home to find the cause of the fault. We look at faulty controls, check the compressor, and inspect the door seals for gaps that let warm air in. Whether you have a standard freestanding unit or a built-in model, we trace electrical faults and mechanical failures. We also cover nearby Newton Abbot and Ashburton.

Call 01752 922765Water pooling under the salad crisper drawers is caused by a blocked defrost drain hole. During the automatic defrost cycle, condensation runs down the back wall of the fridge. If food debris or packaging blocks the drain hole, the water has nowhere to go and overflows into the cabinet.
A loud buzzing or humming noise points to a mechanical component struggling to operate. This is a sign of a failing compressor or an issue with the evaporator fan motor. If ice builds up around the fan blades, the motor will make excess noise as it tries to circulate cold air.
This happens when cold air cannot travel from the freezer into the fridge section. A faulty defrost heater or timer allows ice to build up and block the air channel between the two compartments. A broken evaporator fan will also stop the cold air from circulating upwards into the fridge.
