The refrigerator is perhaps the most important appliance in any home and if it breaks down, it can be extremely inconvenient and costly, as you have nowhere to store perishables, you can lose cold and frozen foods, and you often have to buy takeaways or food to take you through. Shorten the inconvenience by having your refrigerator repaired as soon as you notice that there is a problem. Read on for more.

In an ideal world, a refrigerator will last for many years without a problem but unfortunately they often develop faults that need repairing. Just some problems that can happen with refrigerators include failing door seals, broken interior lights, broken or damaged shelving or drawers, electrical faults, leaks, fault defrosting systems and faulty thermostats.

A refrigerator repair technician is qualified and licensed to repair all kinds of refrigerators and they will come to you and perform the repair on site. Repairers can work with all kinds of refrigerator brands and types but it is a good idea to look for one that specialises in your brand where possible, as they are more likely to have the parts that are needed for repair without having to order them in. The repairer will use generic or genuine parts and they will discuss the problem with you before going ahead with the repair to ensure that you are happy with what is being done. Ask what guarantees they give you on their work – the guarantee should cover both parts and labour.
