Fridge & freezer service in Al Rabee

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.

Digital panels are sensitive to heat, humidity and sudden power cuts. If the display will not light or buttons don't respond, the battery or control circuit may be at fault. We check the power and battery first, then replace the board if needed.

Yes, large open kitchens cause greater heat loss, forcing the compressor to run constantly and wear faster. We recommend closing the kitchen off from living areas with a door or curtain, and keeping the fridge away from ovens or other heat sources.

The issue may be in the cooling circuit itself, the temperature sensor, or the refrigerant flow control valve. We cannot safely repair cooling lines without specialist tools, so we test the whole system and determine if repair or replacement is needed.

Refrigerant leaks are rare in modern appliances but possible if tubing is damaged by heat or impact. If you notice slow cooling or the freezer not freezing enough, call us at once. We check tubing and connections at least yearly if the unit is old.
