Fridge not cooling or freezer icing up? Voltrade engineers in Portsmouth repair all fridge and freezer brands.
A fridge or freezer failure is urgent because food starts spoiling within hours. Ice build-up, temperature fluctuations, strange noises, and water leaks are all signs that your fridge or freezer needs professional attention.
Voltrade engineers in Portsmouth repair all fridge and freezer types including freestanding, integrated, American-style, and chest freezers across all major brands.
The most common faults include fridge not cold enough (thermostat failure, blocked vents, or compressor issue), excessive ice build-up in freezer (defrost heater or timer failure), water pooling inside or under the fridge (blocked drain hole or cracked water tray), loud buzzing or clicking noise (compressor relay or fan motor), and fridge running constantly without reaching temperature (door seal leak or low refrigerant).

Ice buildup is usually caused by a faulty defrost heater, a failed defrost timer, a damaged door seal, or frequently leaving the door open. The auto-defrost system should prevent this. If ice returns after manual defrosting, a component has failed.
Most repairs take 30 minutes to an hour. Thermostat, fan, and seal replacements are quick. Compressor work takes longer and may require a follow-up visit if refrigerant needs to be recharged by an F-Gas certified engineer.
We repair all major fridge freezer brands including Samsung, LG, Bosch, Siemens, Beko, Hotpoint, Haier, and Liebherr. American-style units from Samsung and LG are among the most common we work on.
Water pooling inside or under the unit usually means the defrost drain is blocked or the drip tray is overflowing. Check for ice blocking the drain hole at the back of the fridge. If clearing it does not help, the drain line may need professional clearing.
Transfer perishables to cool bags with ice packs or a neighbour's fridge. Frozen items that still have ice crystals can be safely refrozen. Discard anything that has been above 5 degrees for more than 4 hours.
