When your fridge needs attention
- 1
Fridge not cooling or cooling poorly
Food does not stay cold, or the top compartment is fine and the bottom is not, or the reverse. The cause could be the thermostat, the fan or the compressor; only an on-site check will find the actual fault.
- 2
Frost building up or water leaking
A thick layer of ice on the inner wall, or puddles under the fridge every day, usually points to a fault in the defrost cycle or a blocked condensate drain. Jeddah's high humidity makes these faults worse if left.
- 3
Unusual noises or a worn door seal
A clicking or steady hum can come from the evaporator fan or from a compressor working harder than it should. A cracked or loose door seal lets warm air in constantly, straining the unit and raising your electricity bill without showing an obvious fault.
Who it's for
Your older fridge is making strange noises
We test the compressor and fan in place, assess the full condition of the unit, and tell you honestly whether repair is worthwhile or replacement saves more in the long run.
Ask on WhatsAppYour newer fridge has suddenly stopped cooling
We diagnose the fault on site and identify whether the thermostat, the cooling cycle or another component has failed, then carry out the repair in the same visit when possible.

Honest call, then your decision
We explain exactly what we found and weigh the repair cost against the age of the unit, so you decide with full information and no pressure from us.

What sets this district apart
Al Majami is a mixed commercial and residential area in far north Jeddah, comprising small shops, workshops and stores alongside limited villas and apartments. The coastal location means very high humidity and sea salt, and the distance from the city centre means technical services are less frequent here. Fridges and freezers in shops work under higher stress because usage is daily and continuous, especially in food shops and small restaurants. Commercial units here need more specialist maintenance and understanding of heavy usage combined with coastal humidity and salt.
Al Majami lies far north of Jeddah on the coast, a mixed area of small shops and workshops with few residential villas, very high humidity and sea salt.
Most fridges and freezers in Al Majami are basic or older commercial units due to distance, and many suffer rapid seal and compressor wear.

The outdoor units in most commercial equipment here are directly exposed to salt and moisture without protection.
Before the visit
Before our visit in Al Majami'
- 1
Ensure outdoor unit access
Confirm the outdoor unit in the shop or yard is safely accessible before the visit.
- 2
Switch off the unit 30 minutes before our visit
Switching off before arrival helps the team work safely and prevents the compressor from running during initial diagnosis.

FAQ
Questions about Fridge & freezer service
My fridge cools at the top but the bottom drawer is warm; what causes that?
In fridges with a back-wall evaporator, the air-circulation fan may have stopped or be blocked by ice, so cold air reaches the top shelf but does not spread down. The thermostat position or a blocked air duct can also cause this. The technician identifies the real cause on site because the answer varies by model.
Does frost building up inside mean the fridge needs regassing?
Usually not. Frost build-up most often points to a fault in the automatic defrost cycle, such as the defrost heater, timer or thermal fuse, not a low refrigerant charge. A low charge shows as weak cooling and a hot compressor, not frost. The on-site check tells the difference clearly.
Do I need to empty the fridge before the technician arrives?
Many faults, including the fan, thermostat, drain and door seal, are fixed without emptying or moving the fridge. When a forced defrost is needed we ask you to move food off the shelves temporarily. We let you know this when we book the visit so you are ready.
When does replacing the fridge make more sense than repairing it?
There is no single rule that fits every unit, but we weigh the fridge's age, the cost and availability of the needed part, and the condition of the rest of the unit. If our technician judges that the repair cost does not justify the remaining life of the fridge, he says so clearly before any work begins.
Does Jeddah's intense heat affect how a home fridge performs?
Yes. A fridge is designed to work within a set ambient temperature range. When placed in a poorly ventilated kitchen or near a heat source, the compressor works harder than it was built for. This speeds up wear and raises electricity consumption. The technician checks the unit's position and the room ventilation as part of the diagnosis.
I run a food shop with a commercial fridge running all day, does it need more maintenance?
Yes, continuous operation makes commercial units wear faster, especially with coastal humidity and salt. We recommend servicing every month or two, not just when problems arise. The compressor, seals and tubing need regular inspection.
Sea salt heavily affects commercial freezers, how do we protect them?
Salt causes very rapid rust. We recommend weekly wiping of the outdoor unit and tubing with a damp cloth, and covering the unit with a plastic cover if it is in an outdoor area. Monthly servicing is essential here.
My commercial fridge is very old and rusting inside, when should I replace it?
Interior rust signals end-of-life. We inspect during the visit and give an honest view on whether repair is worthwhile or replacement is better financially. In Al Majami, old rusty units may not justify continued repair investment.
My shop is far from central Jeddah, how long for you to reach us?
We cover all of Al Majami, coordinating visits in advance by phone or WhatsApp. The distance is greater, so we recommend booking a time and confirming it the day before.
