Most common fridge freezer faults we repair
Freezer not cooling
If the freezer isn’t cooling properly, it may be due to a malfunctioning thermostat, blocked air vents, or compressor issues, which can spoil food.
Freezer overcooling
Overcooling can lead to frost build-up on items, often caused by a faulty thermostat or temperature sensor.
Ice buildup in freezer
Excess ice accumulation may indicate a problem with the door seal, or it could be due to blocked vents or issues with the defrost cycle.
Freezer making loud noises
Loud noises are often due to a faulty fan motor, worn-out compressor, or loose parts, which can disrupt the quiet of your kitchen.
Freezer coils frosting over
Frosted coils typically suggest a problem with the defrost system, which can hinder the freezer’s cooling efficiency.
Water leaking from freezer
Leaks often result from blocked defrost drains or a damaged water line, causing unwanted water pooling around or under the appliance.
Freezer has a bad odor
Bad odours can develop from food spills, or they may indicate a clogged defrost drain, which can trap food particles and water.
Freezer not defrosting
If the freezer isn’t defrosting, the issue could be with the defrost heater, timer, or thermostat, allowing frost to build up and reduce cooling efficiency.
Temperature fluctuations
Inconsistent temperatures may result from a failing thermostat, compressor issues, or a faulty sensor, affecting the preservation of stored food.
Ice dispenser malfunctioning
A malfunctioning ice dispenser might be caused by a jammed chute, broken auger motor, or faulty control board, preventing ice from being dispensed.
Compressor problems
The compressor is essential for cooling, and issues here can prevent the freezer from maintaining the right temperature, potentially requiring replacement.
Evaporator fan malfunctioning
A faulty evaporator fan can stop cold air from circulating properly, leading to uneven cooling or warming within the freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions to save you time.
Why is my freezer not freezing properly?
If your freezer isn’t freezing as it should, the issue might be due to frost build-up, a faulty door seal, or problems with the thermostat. Dirty condenser coils can also affect cooling efficiency. Electrical Gas Care’s technicians can assess and resolve these issues to restore proper freezing.
What should I do if my freezer is over-freezing?
Over-freezing is often caused by thermostat settings being too low. If the thermostat is correctly set but the issue persists, it may be faulty and require repair. Our experts can inspect and fix any thermostat problems to prevent excessive ice build-up.
Why is my freezer making strange noises?
Unusual noises from your freezer could be due to the evaporator or condenser fan motor, or even the compressor if you hear buzzing or humming. Electrical Gas Care recommends having a professional diagnose the source to prevent potential damage.
How often should I defrost my freezer?
For manual defrost freezers, it’s best to defrost whenever ice build-up reaches 1/4-inch thick. Frost-free models generally don’t need defrosting. Our team can advise on best practices to keep your freezer running efficiently.
Can I repair my freezer seal on my own?
If the freezer seal is loose or has small tears, you may be able to replace it yourself. Make sure to get the correct seal for your freezer model, and install it carefully to maintain an airtight fit. Electrical Gas Care can also assist with professional seal replacements for optimal cooling.
Why does my freezer have a bad odour?
Bad odours in the freezer are often due to spoiled food or bacterial growth. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution, and remove any expired items. Keeping an open box of baking soda inside can help prevent future odours.
Why is my fridge not cooling properly?
If your fridge isn’t cooling as it should, it may be due to a faulty thermostat, clogged condenser coils, or blocked air vents. Electrical Gas Care can troubleshoot these issues, clean the coils, and carry out any repairs needed to restore efficient cooling.
