Know the home, know the fault

In historic homes, uneven floors can make it difficult to level a tall freestanding fridge freezer, which is necessary for the doors to seal correctly and prevent warm air from entering. Meanwhile, the newer properties being built in the area tend to feature modern fitted kitchens designed around integrated units or large American-style models that require adequate ventilation at the rear to run efficiently. When a fridge freezer develops a fault, the symptoms usually point to specific internal components. If the fridge section is warm while the freezer remains freezing, the issue is usually a blocked defrost duct or a broken evaporator fan stopping cold air from circulating upwards. Heavy frost and solid ice build-up inside the cabinet indicates a failure in the defrost heater or its thermostat. Water leaking inside the compartments or pooling on the floor happens when the internal drain tube becomes blocked with food particles or ice. Noisy running is another issue, which can be caused by a vibrating fan motor or a struggling compressor, while faulty controls might stop the appliance from regulating its temperature entirely. When visiting homes here or in nearby places like Folly Gate, we repair both freestanding and integrated fridge freezers directly in your kitchen. We look at the cooling system, fans, thermostats and drainage channels to find out why one side has stopped working properly or why ice is forming. We also repair washing machines, dishwashers and electric ovens, though we do not work on gas appliances of any kind.
