Common fridge and freezer faults repaired in Dorset

Not cooling
Compressor, thermostat, or refrigerant fault. One of the most common fridge and freezer issues. Usually diagnosed and resolved on the first visit.
Excessive frost build-up
Frost build-up on freezer coils is usually a defrost heater or thermostat fault. Resolved by engineers on the first visit.
Fan not working
A fridge or freezer fan motor failure causes warm spots and inefficient cooling. Fan replacement is typically a same-visit repair.
Door seal damaged
A damaged fridge or freezer door seal lets warm air in, causing temperature fluctuations and frost build-up. Seal replacement is a quick repair.
Tripping the electrics
A fridge or freezer that trips the fuse box usually has a compressor or electrical fault. Needs prompt attention from a qualified engineer.
Error codes on display
Error codes on modern fridge freezers point to a specific component fault. Engineers carry diagnostic tools and common parts for most brands.
Noisy operation
Unusual clicking, buzzing, or humming from a fridge or freezer often indicates a compressor, fan, or relay fault. Engineers diagnose the root cause.
Water leaking
Water leaking from a fridge usually indicates a blocked defrost drain or faulty water dispenser line. Quick to diagnose and fix.

Estimates for Dorset. Get 3 quotes to compare local prices.

For Dorset residents, we generally recommend repairing appliances under 8 years old, as this typically costs 30-50% less than replacement. Our engineers will honestly assess whether your fridge or freezer is worth repairing, considering factors like age, condition, and the relative cost of new appliances. With many Dorset homes featuring fitted kitchens or challenging access routes, a professional repair often proves more practical than navigating delivery and installation of new equipment.
