| Fridge too cold / freezing food | Faulty thermostat or temperature sensor |

Whatever the problem, our technicians diagnose it accurately before any repair begins.
How Refitec Diagnoses Fridge Faults
We follow a simple, honest process:
- Initial assessment — We listen to you, check error codes, and do a visual inspection.
- Electrical testing — We test voltage, compressor run capacitors, and relay starters.
- Refrigeration cycle check — We assess gas pressure, check for leaks, and evaluate the compressor.
- Component testing — Thermostat, fan motors, defrost heaters, and sensors are individually tested.
- Report & quote — We explain what’s wrong and give you a clear repair quote before we start.

Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A little care goes a long way in keeping your fridge running well:
- Clean the condenser coils every 6 months — dust buildup forces the compressor to work harder.
- Check door seals regularly. A loose seal lets warm air in and strains the cooling system.
- Don’t overload the fridge — it blocks airflow and reduces cooling efficiency.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources like cookers and ovens.
- Defrost manually if your fridge doesn’t have auto-defrost — heavy ice buildup damages the system.
- Set the correct temperature — 3–5°C for the fridge, -18°C for the freezer.
- Allow warm food to cool before putting it in the fridge to avoid temperature stress.
- Check the power cord and socket — loose connections cause voltage fluctuations that damage compressors.
Small habits prevent big repair bills.
