Know the home, know the fault

Properties situated beside the A38 on the edge of Dartmoor National Park vary from late eighteenth-century dwellings in the centre to local authority housing built during the 1920s. A medieval street layout is still visible in places like Fore Street, where older buildings retain original features. Moving a heavy fridge freezer into position across uneven floors in historic homes takes effort. Integrated units are fitted within the cabinetry of both older private homes and newer builds alike. When a combined refrigeration unit stops working properly, the issue is often isolated to one compartment. A fridge might become warm while the freezer section continues to freeze food, which points to a failure in the air circulation system, such as a blocked defrost drain or a broken evaporator fan. Frost and ice build-up inside the freezer can prevent the door from closing and indicates a problem with the defrost heater or thermostat. Water leaking inside the cabinet or pooling onto the floor usually stems from a blocked drainage tube. Faulty controls or noisy running from the compressor area also require investigation to restore normal cooling. We visit homes across the area, including nearby Buckfast, to repair domestic appliances. During a visit, we look at why one side or both have stopped working properly, checking for frost accumulation, water leaks, and faulty controls. We repair freestanding fridge freezers, integrated models, and American-style units. We also work on other kitchen equipment, though we do not repair gas appliances.

This happens when cold air cannot circulate from the freezer into the fridge compartment. The evaporator fan might have failed, or a heavy build-up of ice could be blocking the air damper. A faulty defrost heater can also cause ice to block the vents, stopping the fridge from cooling properly.

Water pooling under the salad crisper drawers usually indicates a blocked defrost drain. When the appliance goes through its automatic defrost cycle, the melted water is supposed to travel down a small tube at the back. If crumbs or food packaging block this hole, the water overflows into the cabinet.

A loud buzzing or vibrating noise often comes from the compressor at the back of the appliance as it struggles to pump refrigerant. It can also be caused by a failing condenser fan motor or an ice-clogged evaporator fan hitting against the frost build-up inside the freezer compartment.
