Know the home, know the fault

In households managing on a tight budget, which is a reality for several neighbourhoods here experiencing higher levels of deprivation, keeping food fresh is essential. A failing fridge leads to food waste, making a reliable appliance vital for daily life. When a fridge stops cooling evenly, the issue might stem from a faulty thermostat or a failing compressor. If the appliance feels too warm, the door seals could be degraded, letting cold air escape and forcing the motor to run constantly to compensate. Water pooling beneath the salad crisper drawers or leaking onto the floor usually points to a blocked defrost drain. Ice building up on the back wall can indicate a problem with the defrost heater or a temperature sensor. Clicking sounds or new, loud noises from the back often suggest the compressor relay is struggling to start the cooling cycle, while faulty interior lights can make it hard to see what is stored inside. During a home visit, we look at fridges that are too warm, too cold, noisy or leaking. We check for faulty lights, test thermostats, inspect door seals and clear blocked drains to stop water pooling. We work on electric appliances only, meaning we do not repair gas cookers or gas hobs, but we do fix washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, freezers and ovens.
