Common questions

Why is ice building up at the back of my Defy fridge in Benmore Gardens?

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.

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.

How fast can you get to me?

Emergency callouts are dispatched to the next available technician, with the arrival window confirmed by SMS when the vehicle leaves.
