Refrigerator Repair in Dubai & the UAE — Same-Day Service
A fridge that's stopped cooling can't wait — FETSCO dispatches same-day in most areas for refrigerator faults, from a simple thermostat swap to a full compressor replacement, on single-door, double-door and side-by-side units.
Common Refrigerator problems we fix
Common issue
Refrigerator not cooling
Likely cause: A failing compressor, a refrigerant leak, or a faulty thermostat/start relay — the compressor's own hum (or silence) is usually the first clue.
How we fix it — We diagnose with the compressor running under load, then repair or replace the failed part — compressor and gas work is quoted before we proceed.
Common issue
Excess ice build-up in the freezer
Likely cause: A failed defrost heater, defrost timer, or a door seal letting in warm, humid air.
How we fix it — We replace the defrost component at fault and check the door seal, since ice build-up often comes back if the seal itself isn't fixed too.
Common issue
Fridge running constantly / very loud
Likely cause: A dirty condenser coil restricting airflow, or a failing compressor or fan motor.
How we fix it — We clean the condenser coil first (often enough on its own) and test the compressor and fan for wear.
Common issue
Water pooling under the fridge
Likely cause: A blocked defrost drain line letting melted frost run out instead of into the drain pan.
How we fix it — We clear the drain line and confirm it's flowing freely before we finish the visit.
How we install your refrigerator
Placement & clearance check
We confirm the fridge has proper airflow clearance on all sides — too tight against a wall or cabinet is a common cause of later cooling problems.
Levelling
The unit is levelled so doors close and seal properly and the compressor runs without extra vibration.
Water line connection (if fitted)
For units with a water/ice dispenser, we connect and pressure-test the water line for leaks.
Settling & performance check
We confirm correct temperature is reached within the expected time and there's no unusual noise before handover.
Genuine parts, every major brand
Refrigerator repair — questions we get
We treat fridge breakdowns as urgent — same-day dispatch in most areas, since food spoilage is time-sensitive.
We repair the actual leak point (not just top up the gas), so the fix holds — topping up gas without finding the leak is a false economy we don't do.
Yes, including built-in kitchen units and side-by-side models.
