Fridge and freezer repair visits from £50

When a fridge or freezer develops a temperature problem, the visible symptom does not always identify the cause. LCDA engineers diagnose the appliance before confirming the appropriate repair. Where possible, repairs are completed during the visit; if replacement parts or additional work are required, these are discussed before proceeding.

Common fridge and freezer faults we investigate

Tell us what the appliance is doing, how long the problem has been happening and whether the fridge, freezer or both compartments are affected.

Fridge not coolingThe fridge compartment feels warmer than expected, food is not staying sufficiently cool or the temperature is inconsistent.
Freezer not freezingFood is softening, the freezer is not reaching its expected temperature or frozen items are beginning to thaw.
Fridge freezer temperature problemsOne or both compartments are too warm, too cold or unable to maintain a stable temperature.
Excessive frost or ice build-upUnusual ice or frost develops inside the freezer, around panels or in areas where it was not previously forming.
Fridge or freezer making unusual noisesBuzzing, clicking, rattling or other operating noises have become new, frequent or noticeably louder.
Fridge freezer running continuouslyThe appliance appears to operate for unusually long periods or rarely seems to stop running.
Fridge freezer not startingThe appliance appears unresponsive, has stopped operating or does not resume normal operation.
Fridge freezer error code or warningThe display shows an error, temperature warning or other indicator that was not previously present.

Why is my fridge not cooling or freezer not freezing?

Cooling problems can have different causes, and the same symptom can occur with different faults. Temperature controls, sensors, airflow, fans, defrost systems, electrical components and the refrigeration system can all affect appliance operation. An engineer therefore needs to diagnose the appliance before confirming which component or repair is required.

Compressor or cooling-system problem?

Customers sometimes describe a non-cooling fridge or freezer as a “compressor problem”. A compressor is one possible part of the refrigeration system, but poor cooling does not by itself confirm that the compressor has failed. LCDA diagnoses the fault before recommending compressor replacement or other refrigeration work.

Fridge freezer error codes and temperature warnings

If the appliance is displaying an error code, warning symbol or temperature alarm, include the exact information shown when booking. Also provide the make and model number where available. Codes and warning indicators vary between manufacturers and models and are used as part of diagnosis rather than as a substitute for inspecting the appliance.

What happens during a fridge or freezer repair visit?

Before the visitProvide the appliance make and model where available, tell us whether the fridge, freezer or both sections are affected, and include any error code or temperature warning.
During the visitThe engineer diagnoses the reported fault and carries out the repair during the visit where possible. Replacement parts or further work are discussed separately when required.

Fridge & freezer repair FAQs

Questions before booking a fridge or freezer repair

My fridge is not cooling. Can I book an engineer?

Yes. Tell us how long the fridge has been warm, whether the freezer section is still working and whether any warning or error is displayed.

My freezer is not freezing properly. What should I provide?

Provide the appliance make and model where available and tell us whether the freezer is partly cooling, completely warm or displaying a temperature warning.

Do you repair fridge-freezers with excessive ice build-up?

LCDA can arrange a diagnostic visit for unusual frost or ice build-up. The engineer diagnoses the cause before confirming the appropriate repair.

Does a fridge not cooling mean the compressor has failed?

Not necessarily. Poor cooling can have several causes. The appliance needs to be diagnosed before a compressor or another component can be confirmed as the fault.

Do you repair commercial fridges and freezers?

Yes. LCDA also provides commercial fridge and freezer repair visits. Commercial bookings use the commercial service and applicable commercial call-out pricing.

How much is a domestic fridge or freezer call-out?

Domestic fridge and freezer call-out charges start from £50. Replacement parts and additional work are charged separately where required and discussed before proceeding.

Common symptoms and your next step

A fridge that is too warm can be affected by temperature settings, obstructed airflow or another operating or component fault. Check routine settings and ventilation against the model manual, and tell us whether the fridge, freezer or both are affected.

An installation, a service, a thermometer replacement and a PCB replacement are different jobs. The examples here record the work carried out on each appliance; your appliance needs its own assessment.
