At Home Fridge Repair

A at home fridge repair is faster, more efficient, and sometimes better than having a fridge repaired in a workshop. Many times, the ground or conditions where a fridge is used is different than the perfect conditions within a workshop. Walk in fridges can’t be moved anyway, but normal house fridges can run into faults when on uneven ground.

The technicians from the Appliance Man are all trained to easily recognize when a fridge may be acting up not because something is broken, but because the fridge is kept in the wrong conditions. To ease your worries here are the common things our technicians check when they arrive to repair your fridge.

We also take a look at:

Checking to see if the fridge is cooling properly.
Making sure the fridge is not cooling too much, causing ice build-up.
Unusual noises in the operation, checking the motor and more.
Is there water leaking from under the fridge, which can mean ice build-up.
Checking the seals of the fridge, from the door to the gaskets needed to operate properly.
Ice accumulating at the bottom of the fridge.
Testing the fridge motor, is it supplying enough pressure, or giving too much or too little.
Is there water under the vegetable drawer, this can be a sign of freezing, or clogged vent holes.
The fridge is no longer cooling at the top part, which can be a sign of insufficient cooling.

To help you understand what a fridge repair technician won’t do we have collected some stories about what technicians have encountered in the world. This is what a trained technician will not do when checking on your fridge.

Fixing while plugged in. No technician should ever open up a fridge while it is plugged in or operating, some power may be needed to test specific parts, but the technician will unplug everything during the initial opening

Simply using a hair dryer to heat up the door seal. Our technicians will have a heat gun and other tool to check the seal and ensure that it works properly.

Ignore strange noises. All fridges make some noise, but they should always barely be audible, our technicians will never simply write off the sound a fridge makes, especially when loud, as normal behaviour.

Using knives or screwdrivers to unclog the fridge vents. Fridges need to ventilate, to keep moisture down and prevent freezing, our technicians won’t simply poke the holes with the nearest sharp object, they have tools to clean and check on vents.
