Fridge Troubleshooting: Don't Let a Warm Fridge Ruin Your Food

Ever open your fridge to find everything warm? That's no fun when you've got groceries to save. The good news? Most fridge issues are simple to spot and fix before they turn into a $300 compressor replacement. We've helped hundreds of Taunton households keep their fridges running without breaking the bank.

Your fridge might be humming but not cooling. That's usually the compressor or thermostat. If it's making weird noises like a dying bee, it's likely the fan or compressor struggling. Check if the fridge's back is dusty—clean it out. Sometimes a quick dust-off fixes the problem. If the light's on but it's not cold, the thermostat might be off. Try resetting it by unplugging for 5 minutes. Simple stuff that saves you a call.

When to Call a Pro (And When to DIY)

If your fridge's leaking water or the seals are cracked, that's a sign it's time to call us. Don't try to patch a broken seal with tape—your food will spoil faster. We've seen too many people waste money on temporary fixes that just make things worse. A proper seal replacement costs way less than replacing the whole fridge.

Here's the real talk: compressor repairs are expensive. They're the #1 pricey fix, often costing more than a new fridge. If your fridge is over 10 years old and the compressor dies, it's usually smarter to replace it. But if it's a younger model, a quick fix can save you hundreds. We'll tell you exactly what's wrong and what's worth fixing—no hidden fees.

Don't ignore a fridge that's not cooling properly. Food goes bad fast, and your energy bill skyrockets. A fridge running 24/7 because it's not cooling properly can add £50+ to your monthly bill. We fix these issues fast in Taunton—no long waits or confusing jargon. Just clear answers and a fridge that works again.
