Know the home, know the fault

Families settling near the local secondary school and sixth form rely on their kitchen appliances to keep fresh food safe. A fridge needs adequate ventilation around its cabinet to dissipate heat from the condenser coils at the back. When an appliance is pushed tightly into a fitted kitchen space or an older alcove without enough airflow, the compressor has to work harder to maintain the correct internal temperature. When a fridge is struggling, the signs are usually clear. You might find water pooling inside under the salad crisper or leaking onto the floor, which points to a blocked defrost drain. If ice is building up on the back wall, the thermostat or the door seals could be failing, letting warm air enter the cabinet. A fridge that is warm or not cooling evenly might have a failing compressor or a faulty fan. Constant running, clicking, or new noises suggest the cooling system is under strain, while faulty lights make it difficult to see what is stored inside. We travel out to addresses near Fairwater Leat and across to neighbouring areas like Newton Abbot, Chudleigh and Bovey Tracey to repair domestic appliances. When looking at a faulty fridge, the focus is on finding out why it is too warm, too cold, noisy or leaking. The inspection covers the thermostat, door seals, compressor, interior lights and drainage channels to identify the fault and carry out the repair in your home.

Water pooling inside the fridge or leaking onto the floor is usually caused by a blocked defrost drain. During the defrost cycle, condensation drips down the back wall into a small hole. If food particles or debris block this drain, the water overflows into the base of the cabinet.

Ice building up on the back wall happens when warm air enters the cabinet or the cooling cycle runs too long. A damaged door seal allows room-temperature air inside, creating excess condensation that freezes. A faulty thermostat can also cause the compressor to run constantly, freezing the moisture.

A fridge that runs constantly or makes a clicking noise is struggling to maintain its internal temperature. The clicking is often the start relay attempting to engage the compressor. If the condenser coils are covered in dust or the compressor itself is failing, the appliance will run continuously without cooling properly.
