5 Most Common Fridge Repair Issues in Perth Homes
Understanding these problems helps you identify when professional repair is needed
❄️ 1. Fridge Not Cooling Properly
When your fridge isn't cooling properly, it's often due to dirty condenser coils, which account for about 70% of cooling issues we see in Perth homes. These coils, located at the back or underneath your fridge, dissipate heat from the refrigeration system. When they're covered in dust and debris, your fridge has to work harder to maintain temperature, leading to poor cooling performance and higher electricity bills.
Other common causes include blocked air vents inside the fridge, faulty door seals letting warm air in, or more serious issues like compressor failure or refrigerant leaks. Our technicians will first check the simple fixes like cleaning coils and adjusting temperature settings before investigating mechanical failures. Most cooling issues can be resolved within our standard service call, getting your fridge back to the optimal 3-4°C quickly.
💧 2. Water Leaking Inside or Under the Fridge
Water pooling inside your fridge or on your kitchen floor is typically caused by a blocked defrost drain, which is responsible for carrying condensation away from the cooling coils. In frost-free fridges, this drain can become clogged with food particles or ice, causing water to overflow and leak. This is particularly common in Perth's humid climate where fridges work harder and produce more condensation.
Another frequent cause is a damaged or misaligned water filter in fridges with water dispensers, or a cracked drain pan underneath the appliance. Door seal problems can also lead to excess condensation and water leakage. Our technicians carry the tools and parts needed to clear blockages, replace faulty components, and ensure proper drainage, preventing water damage to your floors and keeping your food fresh.
🔊 3. Strange Noises Coming from Your Fridge
Unusual noises from your fridge can range from annoying to alarming, with each sound often indicating a specific issue. A loud humming or buzzing typically points to a struggling compressor or dirty condenser coils forcing the motor to work overtime. Clicking sounds might indicate a faulty start relay, while rattling often means loose components or an unbalanced fridge. These noises not only disrupt your home but usually signal that your fridge is working inefficiently, leading to higher energy costs.
Grinding or squealing noises are more serious and often indicate worn bearings in the evaporator or condenser fan motors. If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to complete motor failure and costly repairs. Our experienced technicians can quickly diagnose the source of unusual noises using specialised equipment and years of experience with all major fridge brands. We'll determine whether a simple adjustment, cleaning, or part replacement is needed to restore quiet, efficient operation.
🧊 4. Ice Maker Not Working or Producing Poor Quality Ice
Ice maker problems are incredibly frustrating, especially during Perth's hot summers when cold drinks are essential. The most common issue is a frozen water line preventing water from reaching the ice maker, often caused by the freezer temperature being set too low. Clogged water filters are another frequent culprit, restricting water flow and producing small, misshapen, or bad-tasting ice cubes. These filters should be replaced every 6 months but are often neglected.
More complex ice maker issues include faulty water inlet valves, broken ice maker assemblies, or problems with the control board. Sometimes the ice maker simply needs to be reset or have its sensors cleaned. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all types of ice maker problems, from simple filter replacements to complete ice maker assembly installations. We stock common ice maker parts to ensure most repairs can be completed in a single visit.
🌨️ 5. Excessive Frost Build-up in Freezer or Fridge
Excessive frost build-up in modern frost-free fridges indicates a failure in the automatic defrost system. This system should periodically warm the cooling coils to melt any accumulated frost, but when components like the defrost timer, heater, or thermostat fail, ice builds up rapidly. This not only reduces storage space but also forces your fridge to work harder, increasing energy consumption and potentially damaging the compressor over time.
Damaged door seals are another major cause of frost build-up, allowing humid Perth air to enter and freeze on cold surfaces. Sometimes the issue is as simple as a door left slightly ajar or items preventing proper door closure. Our repair process includes testing all defrost system components, checking and replacing door seals if needed, and ensuring proper air circulation. We'll also educate you on proper fridge loading to prevent future frost problems and maintain optimal efficiency.
