Fridge & freezer service in Al Rayyan

In fridges with a back-wall evaporator, the air-circulation fan may have stopped or be blocked by ice, so cold air reaches the top shelf but does not spread down. The thermostat position or a blocked air duct can also cause this. The technician identifies the real cause on site because the answer varies by model.

Usually not. Frost build-up most often points to a fault in the automatic defrost cycle, such as the defrost heater, timer or thermal fuse, not a low refrigerant charge. A low charge shows as weak cooling and a hot compressor, not frost. The on-site check tells the difference clearly.

Many faults, including the fan, thermostat, drain and door seal, are fixed without emptying or moving the fridge. When a forced defrost is needed we ask you to move food off the shelves temporarily. We let you know this when we book the visit so you are ready.

There is no single rule that fits every unit, but we weigh the fridge's age, the cost and availability of the needed part, and the condition of the rest of the unit. If our technician judges that the repair cost does not justify the remaining life of the fridge, he says so clearly before any work begins.

Yes. A fridge is designed to work within a set ambient temperature range. When placed in a poorly ventilated kitchen or near a heat source, the compressor works harder than it was built for. This speeds up wear and raises electricity consumption. The technician checks the unit's position and the room ventilation as part of the diagnosis.

Intense dry heat requires strong ventilation behind and around the fridge to carry hot air from the condenser. Make sure there is at least 15 cm clearance on all sides and the rear, and avoid placing it near sunny windows or other heat sources.

The dust in Al Rayyan is very fine and penetrates easily. We recommend cleaning the coils every two to three months with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner, and never spray water directly on the coils because it raises humidity.

Yes, when a fridge is in very hot conditions, the compressor works harder to maintain internal cooling. If the coils are dirty or ventilation is limited, consumption rises further. We inspect the condenser and evaporator and recommend a regular maintenance schedule.

The drain pump may block because fine dust particles or salts in the water clog it. We open the line, clean the pump, and confirm drainage works before switching back on.
