What is the most common cause of refrigerator failure?

One of the most commonly replaced parts on a refrigerator is the motor. If you find that your fridge is too loud or is too warm, this could be a sign of a damaged motor.

What faults can a fridge repair technician fix?

Some of the most common faults that a fridge repair technician can tackle include:

• Faulty thermostats or broken compressors

• Damaged door seals letting in warm air

• Faulty fans or blocked vents

• Electrical issues or tripped circuits

• Frost build-up or water leaks

The good news is, many of the problems above can be fixed on the first call. So you could have your fridge up and running again quicker than you think.

How do you fix a refrigerator that's not cooling?

A fridge that isn’t cooling properly might have a faulty temperature control gauge or a worn fridge door seal that needs to be replaced.

Alternatively, your fridge may simply be positioned too close to a wall, restricting airflow to the air vents.

How many years do refrigerators last?

A refrigerator will typically last between 10 and 15 years. However, some can even last up to 20 years if it's well-maintained.

What does it cost to repair a fridge?

• On average, refrigerator repair costs are around £100 to supply and fit a new thermostat

• Meanwhile, the average cost of a new door seal/gasket to repair your fridge freezer is about £130

• Budget for the call-out fee, which is around £60 - £150

Is it worth getting a fridge repaired?

As a general rule, if your fridge is less than six or seven years old, it’s often worth getting it repaired – especially if it’s still under warranty.

On the other hand, if it’s approaching ten years old, it’s often best to replace it as the likelihood is that it will need replacing relatively soon anyway.

Not sure whether repairing or replacing your refrigerator is the best course of action? You're best off speaking to a fridge repair technician to get their advice.
