Common questions
Why is ice building up at the back of my Defy fridge in Melrose Arch?
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.
How quickly can a coldroom be back at temperature?
Once the fault is cleared, a well-insulated coldroom pulls back down within two to four hours. We advise on stock protection during that window.
Can you work after trading hours?
Yes. Retail, restaurant and office work is routinely scheduled at night or early morning under a permit-to-work so trading is not interrupted.
