Before booking in Newlands West
These details help us understand the problem and prepare for a more useful first inspection.
Check whether the entire cabinet is warm or only one compartment is affected. Listen for normal fan movement and note whether frost or water collects near the door. A blocked airflow path, worn door seal, control issue and refrigerant-related fault need very different repairs. We will assess the symptoms rather than assume the appliance only needs gas.
Move perishable food to safe storage if temperatures are rising. Keep the model information and any display error available. Do not chip ice from the evaporator or pierce panels to speed up defrosting.
Describe any recent move, door-seal damage, power interruption or previous re-gassing. Tell us whether the compressor starts and stops frequently, runs continuously, or does not start.

Fridge Repair in Newlands West
A fridge can keep running while the temperature rises, or one compartment can remain cold while the other becomes warm. Those patterns help us decide where to start.
Tell us whether the freezer is still cold, any noises you hear, whether ice is building up and whether the fault started suddenly or gradually.
What are you seeing?
We use the cooling pattern and appliance behaviour to guide diagnosis.
Fans, controls, compressor operation, airflow and refrigeration performance may be involved.
Airflow, fan, icing or damper faults can stop cold air reaching the fridge compartment.
Fans, compressor start components and ice build-up can create different sounds.
Drainage, seals, defrost and airflow problems may be involved.
How we diagnose the problem
The repair depends on what the appliance is doing, not a single assumption.
We compare the fridge and freezer behaviour.
Fans, vents, sensors, thermostats and ice build-up are inspected.
We check the refrigeration side when symptoms point beyond airflow and controls.
We explain the fault and the repair required before work proceeds.
Useful before the visit
The more precise the symptom, the easier it is to prepare the right checks for your appliance or system.
Heavy frost behind an internal panel, ice around vents or no visible frost at all can change which airflow, defrost and refrigeration checks come first.
Intermittent cooling is important to describe. Tell us whether the fault appears after door use, overnight, after a power cut or only after the compressor has run for a while.
A power event, recent move, deep clean, long door opening or sudden increase in food load can provide useful context without proving the cause on its own.
Our repair work
We inspect the appliance, access the components that need attention and test the repaired function before the job is complete.
