Know the home, know the fault
Properties situated in a river valley or right on the edge of Dartmoor present distinct environments for kitchen appliances. The settlement has deep historical roots dating back to Saxon times, and today there are more than one hundred listed properties. Kitchens in older buildings are sometimes fitted into less conventional spaces. A fridge needs adequate ventilation around its condenser coils to release the heat it extracts from the cabinet. When a cooling appliance is pushed tightly into a narrow alcove in a historic property, the compressor has to work harder to maintain the correct internal temperature. This extra strain can lead to premature wear on the cooling system components. When a fridge struggles to regulate its temperature, you might find food freezing on the bottom shelf or feeling unusually warm near the top. Ice building up on the back wall is a clear sign that the thermostat is failing to cycle the compressor correctly. If you notice water pooling inside the cabinet or leaking onto the floor, the defrost drain is likely blocked with food debris. A fridge that runs constantly, clicks repeatedly or makes new noises might have a failing compressor relay or a worn fan motor. Worn door seals also let warm air seep inside, forcing the appliance to run continuously to compensate. Once at your property, we inspect the appliance to find out why it is not cooling evenly or why water is pooling inside. We check for ice building up on the back wall and investigate any constant running, clicking or new noises. Our visit includes testing faulty lights, thermostats and door seals to identify the exact fault. We also cover nearby towns like Newton Abbot and Ashburton.

Fridges in Bovey Tracey: your questions

Call 01752 922765Water pooling under the salad crisper usually means the defrost drain is blocked. Moisture naturally condenses on the back wall and drips into a small gutter, which leads to a drain hole. If crumbs or food packaging block this hole, the water overflows into the cabinet. We can clear the blockage during a repair visit.
A fridge compressor will run continuously if warm air is entering the cabinet, which is a direct result of a split or flattened door seal. It might also run constantly if the thermostat is faulty and cannot detect that the target temperature has been reached. We test both the seals and the temperature sensors.
A repeated clicking sound from the back of a fridge usually comes from the start relay. This component sends power to the compressor to begin the cooling cycle. If the relay fails, it clicks as it tries and fails to start the motor. We can inspect the relay and the compressor to resolve the noise.
