The area was then bypassed by the railway network, leaving it with a strong agricultural connection and a cattle market that ran until 1944. In older rural properties, kitchens might have been updated to include integrated fridge freezers behind cabinet doors to keep a traditional look. Larger farmhouses might have the floor space for wide American-style models. When a fridge freezer develops a fault, it is usually a problem with airflow or temperature regulation. If the fridge section is warm but the freezer still works, the defrost heater or fan might have failed, stopping cold air from circulating upwards. Frost and solid ice build-up inside the freezer compartment points to a blocked defrost drain or a faulty door seal letting humid air in. Water leaking inside the cabinet or pooling on the floor is another sign of a blocked drain hole. Noisy running can be caused by a failing compressor or a fan motor catching on built-up ice, while faulty controls might stop the appliance from cooling entirely. We travel out along the A379 to repair domestic appliances in local homes, reaching surrounding places like Whympston. When looking at a broken fridge freezer, we check the compressor, fans, and defrost components to find out why one or both sides have stopped working properly. Please note that we only repair electric appliances and do not work on gas cookers or gas hobs.

Call 01752 922765This happens when the condensation drain hole at the back of the fridge gets blocked with food debris or packaging. The water has nowhere to go and overflows into the bottom of the cabinet, eventually leaking onto the floor. Clearing the drain tube usually resolves the issue and stops the leak.
A loud humming or buzzing noise is usually the compressor working harder than it should. If the noise sounds like a scraping or rattling sound, it might be the evaporator fan motor catching on a build-up of ice. We check the fan blades, motors, and the defrost system to locate the source of the noise.
Most fridge freezers use a single compressor and blow cold air from the freezer up into the fridge. If the fridge is warm, the fan motor might have failed, or a broken defrost heater has allowed ice to block the air channel. We inspect the defrost components and fans to restore the airflow.
