On-Site Fridge Repair Service
Our Houghton technicians arrive in fully kitted vans with refrigerant gas, vacuum pumps, manifold gauges, common start relays, OEM fan motors and door gaskets for the leading brands. That means most fridge faults are resolved on the first visit, with no return trip for parts.
What Goes Wrong with Fridges in Houghton
Around 80% of Houghton fridge call-outs trace to one of six issues: a stalled evaporator fan starving the fresh-food compartment, a blocked defrost drain pooling water under the crisper, a perished door gasket leaking cold air, a failed start relay locking the compressor out, a clogged condenser coil overheating the system, or a thermistor drift causing salad to freeze. We carry parts for each.
Higher-end Houghton fridges include built-in Bosch and Siemens columns, freestanding Miele units, and Smeg retro fabs in colour-matched finishes. Substituting generic parts compromises performance — we use OEM-only.

Workmanship is guaranteed in writing — if the fault repeats within 90 days we sort it free of charge.
