Compressor won’t start
We test the relay, overload, capacitor and windings first. Often the compressor itself is fine.

Fridge compressor replacement.
The compressor is the heart of the fridge. Before replacing one we prove it has failed, because many “dead compressors” turn out to be a cheap relay, capacitor or board.

What we fix
Common fridge problems.
Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
Runs but no cooling
A worn compressor that no longer pumps, confirmed with pressure readings.
Trips the power
A winding shorted to the body. The compressor must be replaced.
Very hot and loud
Overworking from low gas or dirty coils, which can kill a compressor if ignored.
Inverter compressor fault
Inverter compressors are tested together with their board, since either can fail.
After a gas leak
A long-running leak can wear the compressor. We fix the leak before fitting a new one.
A compressor that clicks and stops is often fine: the start relay costs a fraction of a new compressor. Ask for a proper test before agreeing to a replacement.

Questions
Fridge questions.
Still not sure? Call 0725 570 499 or send a photo of the fault on WhatsApp.
How do I know if my fridge compressor is dead?
Only tests prove it: winding resistance, insulation and pressure readings. We do them in front of you and show you the result.
Is it worth replacing a compressor?
On most fridges under ten years old, yes. On a very old fridge we will tell you honestly if a new fridge makes more sense.
What does a compressor replacement include?
The new compressor, a new filter drier, brazing, a proper vacuum, the right gas charge and a full cooling test.
