Know the home, know the fault

Properties around here range from mid-nineteenth century miners' houses to modern builds for commuters working in Plymouth. The local Bedford style of architecture is distinct, with Bedford Cottages seen across the area. In older properties, kitchen space can be tight, meaning a fridge is sometimes pushed hard against a wall or fitted into a small alcove. Fridges need adequate ventilation around the condenser coils at the back to release heat. Without enough airflow, the compressor has to work harder to maintain the internal temperature, which puts extra strain on the cooling system and can lead to premature wear. When a fridge struggles to cool evenly, it might be due to a failing thermostat or a degraded door seal letting warm room air inside. This extra moisture often leads to ice building up on the back wall or water pooling inside the cabinet, eventually leaking onto the floor. If the appliance is constantly running, clicking, or making new noises, the compressor or its start relay might be struggling. A fridge that is too cold can freeze fresh food, which points to a temperature sensor fault rather than a refrigerant issue. Keeping the drain hole clear helps prevent water pooling. Whether you live near Whitchurch Down or in one of the surrounding villages, we repair appliances in customers' homes. During a visit, we look at fridges that are warm or not cooling evenly, investigate water pooling inside or on the floor, and check for ice building up on the back wall. We also inspect appliances for constant running, clicking or new noises, alongside testing faulty lights, thermostats and door seals.
