Fridge repairs for terraces and older homes

Terrace and cottage kitchens are often small, with the fridge squeezed into an alcove. That can cause heat problems, and it makes moving the fridge hard. We repair it where it stands.

Tight spaces run hot

A fridge jammed into an alcove with no gap at the sides or top cannot get rid of heat. It runs longer, gets hot at the sides and wears out early. We see this a lot in older kitchens that were not built for today's larger fridges.

We repair in place

Getting a fridge down a narrow terrace hall is not easy. We carry the common parts and do the repair in your kitchen. If we must slide the fridge out, we protect your floors.

Older power points

A tripping safety switch or a scorched plug is a sign to stop and call us. We check the fridge side. If the problem is in the house wiring, you will need an electrician, and we will tell you so.

What we fix most in older homes

  • Fridges running hot in tight alcoves
  • Condenser fans and coils clogged with dust
  • Noisy fans and compressors in small open kitchens
  • Plugs, cords and faults that trip the safety switch

Questions

How much gap does a fridge need?

It depends on the model. Most makers ask for a few centimetres at the sides, back and top. Your manual will say.

Will you have to take the fridge out?

Usually not. We tell you before we move anything.

Is there parking near me?

Street parking is fine. If there is a permit zone, let us know when you book.
