Fridge and freezer repair in Lanarkshire
A fridge that isn't cold, a freezer that keeps icing up or a machine that leaks water is worth sorting quickly, before food is lost. Many faults are a thermostat, fan, defrost part or blocked drain rather than a failed compressor.
Common problems
- Fridge or freezer isn't cold enough
- Heavy ice build-up in the freezer
- Water pooling inside the fridge or on the floor
- Constant running, or the compressor clicks on and off
- Noisy fan or loud humming
- Door seal damaged or door won't close properly
What to check first
- Check the temperature setting hasn't been knocked.
- Check the door seals are clean and closing, and that nothing is stopping the door shutting.
- Don't block the air vents inside, and leave a gap behind the appliance.
- If water pools at the back of the fridge, the defrost drain hole may be blocked.
When to call an engineer
Call an engineer if the fridge stays warm, the freezer is thawing, or water keeps leaking. Move food to a cool box or another freezer while you wait.
Common questions
How quickly should I get a warm fridge looked at?
As soon as you can. Chilled food is only safe for a limited time once the temperature rises, so tell us when you book that it's urgent.
Is it worth repairing an older fridge freezer?
Often, if the fault is a thermostat, fan, sensor or defrost part. A failed compressor or a sealed-system leak is the case where replacing is more likely.
