Not cooling
Blocked airflow at the back, a failed fan, a sensor or thermostat, a defrost problem or the sealed cooling system.
Before we arrive Keep the doors shut as much as you can and move anything precious to a cool box if it keeps warming up.

A cooling failure puts food at risk, so fridge freezer requests are reviewed promptly. The engineer diagnoses airflow, sensor, defrost and compressor-related faults on site across Leicester and the nearby suburbs.
A cold fridge with a warm freezer, ice building at the back of the cabinet and water pooling under the drawers all have several possible causes. Share the exact model and what you have observed so the visit can be prepared properly.
The fixed labour quote covers the diagnosis and the repair work. Replacement parts such as fans, thermostats or sensors are quoted separately and fitted only after you approve the cost.
Large American-style units need more room to manoeuvre than they first appear to. If your kitchen has narrow doorways, tight corners or a turn at the top of the stairs — common in converted city-centre buildings and older terrace houses alike — mention it when booking.
For units over ten years old, the engineer compares the likely total cost of repair with the age and condition of the appliance before recommending a route. Simple faults can still be economical; complex sealed-system work often is not.
While waiting for a visit, keep the doors closed as much as practical. A closed cabinet holds its temperature for several hours, which protects fresh food during the arrangement window.
One symptom can have a few causes. The engineer tests before recommending a part, so you only pay for what’s actually needed.

A sticking thermostat or sensor, a defrost fault, or a door seal letting warm, damp air in.
Before we arrive Check nothing is stopping the door closing properly, and note which compartment is affected.
Door seals, hoses, the pump, an internal joint or, now and then, the tub. Where the water appears tells us a lot.
Before we arrive Switch off at the wall, stop using it and make a note of where the water collects.
Plenty of faults don’t fit a neat label. Odd noises, smells and error codes all tell the engineer something.
Before we arrive Describe what happens and when. We’ll check it’s a job we can take on before booking you in.
What it costs
No call-out surprises and no parts fitted on spec. Here’s how your fridge freezer repair is priced.
See my labour priceSet by the appliance, its make, how it’s fitted and your postcode. It covers finding the fault and doing the repair.
If a part is needed, the engineer tells you which one and what it costs. Nothing is fitted until you agree.
If age, condition or the total cost means a new fridge freezer makes more sense, you’ll hear it before any parts are ordered.

Simple faults can still be economical on an older appliance, while more complex cooling faults may not be. The engineer will compare the likely repair cost with the age and condition of the unit before recommending a route.
This can point to an airflow, fan, sensor or defrost fault, but checking the exact model and symptoms is the first step. Share the model and what you observe so suitability can be confirmed before attendance.
