Common questions
Why is ice building up at the back of my Defy fridge in Houghton Estate?
That is almost always a defrost circuit failure: the heater, bimetal or defrost sensor. The ice blocks the evaporator, airflow drops and the fridge compartment warms up while the compressor runs constantly.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
What does an annual service contract include?
Scheduled visits, priority response between visits, a written condition report per unit and fixed labour rates for the contract year.
Is a compressor replacement guaranteed?
Yes. Replacements are done with a system flush and new drier, and both part and workmanship are warranted, provided the original cause of failure is corrected.
