Fridge freezing your food? We fix it at your home
A fridge that freezes milk and lettuce is wasting food and power. The cause is usually an air flap or a sensor, and both are quick repairs. We are a repair service. We come to your home and fix it.

What we usually find
When the fridge section gets too cold, we usually find one of these.
The air flap is stuck open
A small flap called a damper controls how much freezer air gets into the fridge. If it sticks open, the fridge gets far too cold. We free or replace it.
A faulty sensor or thermostat
The fridge keeps cooling because it does not know it is already cold. We test it and replace it.
A control board fault
In newer fridges the board reads the sensors and runs the fans. If it misreads, temperatures go wrong. We test the board before replacing anything.
Cold air vents blocked
Food pushed against the vent at the back can freeze even when the fridge is working. We check this first so you do not pay for parts you do not need.
What happens when we come out

We fix it
Most repairs are done on the spot with parts from the van. Our work has a 12 month warranty.
Before you call
- Move food away from the air vents at the back of the fridge.
- Check the fridge setting. On many fridges a higher number means colder.
Anything past these checks is a job for us. Please do not take off back panels, touch the gas pipes or pull out wiring. Fridges have high voltage parts and a sealed gas system, and a wrong move can turn a simple repair into a new fridge.
Questions about this repair
Is it wasting power?
Usually, yes. A fridge running colder than it should works harder and costs more to run.
Can a cold garage cause this?
It can. Some fridges behave oddly in a cold garage in winter. See our page on fridges in garages.
How long does the repair take?
Most damper and sensor repairs take under an hour once we are there.
