Fridge or freezer repair: the basics
What the job involves
A fridge that isn't cold may have a failed thermostat, fan, defrost heater or compressor, or a blocked drain hole causing water inside. Door seals wear and let warm air in. An engineer will test the components and, if refrigerant is involved, must be F-gas qualified to work on the sealed system.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Note the make, model and symptoms (warm fridge but cold freezer, ice build-up, noise, water). Ask about the diagnostic charge and whether they carry common parts for your brand.
Safety and good to know
If the freezer has failed, keep the door shut; food stays frozen for several hours. Discard food that has fully thawed and warmed. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.
Good to know
a fridge that runs constantly or has frost on the back wall usually has a worn door seal or a defrost fault; a thermometer in the fridge should read around 0 to 5°C. Leave at least the recommended gap behind and above a fridge for air to circulate, and vacuum the dust from the condenser grille now and then.

Why is my fridge warm but the freezer cold?
On many fridge-freezers the fridge is cooled by air from the freezer; a failed fan, a blocked vent or a faulty defrost system stops that airflow. It is a common and often repairable fault.
