Top tips

Hiring a appliance repair, without the regret.

Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.

Blocked Air Vents

Overstuffing the fridge can block the internal vents, preventing cold air from circulating and causing "hot spots."

Dirty Condenser Coils

Dust buildup on the coils underneath or behind the fridge forces the motor to work twice as hard, often leading to premature failure.

Faulty Defrost Timer

If your fridge-freezer is warm but the freezer is caked in ice, the automatic defrost heater or timer has likely failed.

Worn Door Seals

Even a tiny gap in the rubber gasket allows warm room air to enter, causing the fridge to run constantly and struggle to stay cool.

Costs & timeline
