Fridge & freezer service in Al Sahl

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.

We attend quickly and inspect immediately. If the fault is simple (faulty valve or blocked coil), we repair it in the same visit. If a spare part is needed, we source and fit it the same day if possible.

We know downtime costs you daily losses. We coordinate flexibly, and often arrive before opening or after closing if preferred. We work swiftly, inspect, repair or clean within a set time without disrupting business.

We visit your flat and shop in one or two trips depending on your situation. We inspect both separately and discuss maintenance needs for each. The commercial unit needs more frequent servicing due to continuous use.

Yes, large commercial fridges have bigger coils and draw more air, so dirt and salt accumulate faster. We clean them every month or two in Al Sahl due to high humidity and intensive commercial activity. Domestic fridges need less frequent cleaning, every three to six months.
