Fridge & freezer service in Al Najmah

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Humidity accelerates seal and pipe corrosion and rusts metal parts. Signs include constant water leakage, bad smells from crevices, and uneven freezing. We regularly clean tight gaps and drain lines to prevent buildup.

Yes, salt and humidity together accelerate corrosion. The metal parts on the outside are most at risk of rust, and the compressor can be affected long-term. We recommend wiping the outdoor unit monthly and checking pipes regularly.

It could be both. Humidity increases moisture from the evaporator, but constant leaking often means a blocked drain line or cracked door seal. We pinpoint the leak source during the visit and find the right fix.

No, that indicates a compressor or control circuit issue. Humidity can cause electrical connection corrosion or temperature-sensor failure. We quickly inspect electrical connections and the compressor during the visit.
