Fridge repairs in Gillits

This is perhaps the most common and urgent fridge problem. If your refrigerator isn’t cooling at all or isn’t getting cold enough, your food is at risk. We diagnose and repair issues related to:

• Faulty thermostats: The thermostat regulates the temperature inside your fridge.

• Broken compressors: The compressor is the heart of your refrigeration system, pumping refrigerant.

• Refrigerant leaks: A leak prevents your fridge from achieving proper cooling.

• Malfunctioning condenser or evaporator coils: These coils are crucial for heat exchange.

• Blocked vents: Obstructed vents can prevent cold air from circulating properly.

A non-working fridge can lead to spoiled food and unnecessary worry. If your refrigerator won’t power on, our  repair team quickly identifies and resolves common issues like:

• Power issues: Outlets, cables, or tripped breakers

• Defective control board: The system that controls your fridge’s operation

• Faulty relays or overload protectors: Key components that help start the compressor

Unsightly and potentially damaging puddles of water around your refrigerator are a common and frustrating problem that can lead to flooring damage. We expertly fix the most common causes of fridge leaks, including:

• Clogged defrost drains: A very frequent culprit, leading to water overflowing inside and outside the fridge.

• Cracked or damaged water lines: Particularly common in refrigerators equipped with built-in ice makers or water dispensers.

• Faulty water inlet valves: The component that meticulously controls the flow of water to your ice maker or dispenser.

• Blocked or compromised drain pans: Where excess defrost water is designed to collect.

We quickly and accurately pinpoint the exact source of any water leak and carry out the necessary, durable repair to prevent further damage and ensure your kitchen floor remains perfectly dry.

While some minimal frost is expected in certain freezer types, excessive and rapid ice buildup unmistakably indicates an underlying problem, significantly reducing efficiency and usable storage space. We effectively address issues that cause this, such as:

• Defective defrost heaters or thermostats: These critical components are responsible for managing the fridge’s automatic defrost cycle.

• Malfunctioning defrost timers: The device that precisely controls when the automatic defrost cycle activates.

• Poorly sealing or damaged door gaskets: Worn gaskets allow warm, humid ambient air to infiltrate the freezer compartment, leading to frost.

We meticulously make sure  your fridge’s defrost system operates correctly and efficiently to prevent any unnecessary ice accumulation, optimising its performance.
