The repair guide
A fridge or freezer that stops cooling puts food at risk, so finding the cause quickly matters. Most faults sit in the airflow: a stopped fan, a drifted temperature sensor, or a defrost circuit holding the wrong setting while the freezer stays warm.
The pattern often points the way. When the fridge is cold but the freezer is not, or the back wall ices over, these are separate faults. The engineer checks the airflow and the cooling first, before recommending any component.
How the appliance is used matters too. A unit packed to the limit, ice that appears quickly, and a compressor that runs constantly or only in bursts are details that keep the diagnosis an honest one.
Age is judged against value. On an older fridge freezer, where the compressor or control board would cost close to the worth of the machine, replacement is usually fair. The repair figure is set beside the price of a new unit.
Separate fridges and freezers are repaired as well as combined units, along with side-by-side American fridge freezers. A built-in or tall American-style cabinet does not come forward like a freestanding model, so say whether it pulls out easily and whether the rear vent gets the air it needs.
The fixed labour quote covers a full diagnosis. A fan, heater or control item is priced separately and fitted only after you approve the estimate, so the full figures are clear before anything changes.
What is it doing?
One symptom can have several causes. The engineer tests before recommending a part, so you only pay for what is needed.
Fridge freezer · symptom 1
Blocked airflow, a frosted evaporator, a failed fan or thermostat, or a fault in the sealed system.
Move food to a cool bag or a neighbour’s fridge. Keep the doors shut and leave space around the back.
Fridge freezer · symptom 2
A thermostat or sensor stuck on, a damper fault, or a defrost system that has stopped working.
Check the temperature setting. Note whether frost builds on the back wall or around the drawers.
Fridge freezer · symptom 3
A blocked defrost drain, a split water tank or pipe, or a door that isn’t sealing properly.
Mop up and look for water inside the cabinet versus underneath it. Both are useful to mention.
Fridge freezer · symptom 4
Noises, smells, error codes or a cycle that stops partway. One symptom can have several causes.
Tell us what it’s doing, when it started and any code on the display. Working out why is our job.
What it costs
No call-out surprises and no parts fitted on spec. This is how your fridge freezer repair is priced.
See my labour priceSet by the appliance, its make, how it is fitted and your postcode. It covers diagnosing the fault and the repair work.
If a part is needed, the engineer explains which one and what it costs. Nothing is fitted until you agree.
If age, condition or the total cost means a new fridge freezer makes more sense, you hear it before any part is ordered.

The fixed labour quote is shown online before booking and covers the diagnosis and repair visit anywhere in the advertised Coventry areas. Replacement parts are quoted separately and fitted only with your approval.
Simple faults can still be economical on an older appliance, while complex cooling faults may not be. The engineer compares the likely repair cost with the age and condition of the unit before recommending a route.
This can point to an airflow, fan, sensor or defrost fault, but the exact model and symptoms are checked first. Share the model and what you observe so suitability can be confirmed before attendance.
