Shorted defrost heater
The most common cause. Water gets into a cracked heater and trips the power during defrost.

Fridge tripping the power?
When a fridge trips the breaker or blows the socket, something inside is leaking current to earth. We find it with proper electrical tests and fix it safely.

What we fix
Common fridge problems.
Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
Compressor fault
A compressor winding shorted to the body trips the breaker as soon as it starts.
Damaged wiring
Rats, heat or water damage the wires behind the fridge.
Water in the controls
Condensation or a leak reaching the thermostat, light or control board.
Burnt plug or socket
A loose plug overheats and trips the circuit.
Surge damage
Power coming back after a blackout can short the control or inverter board.
If the fridge smells of burning or keeps tripping the power, unplug it and leave it unplugged until we test it. Don’t keep resetting the breaker.

Questions
Fridge questions.
Still not sure? Call 0725 570 499 or send a photo of the fault on WhatsApp.
Why does my fridge trip the breaker every few hours?
If it trips on a timer it is usually the defrost heater shorting during the defrost cycle. We test it with an insulation tester and replace it.
Is it safe to keep using it?
No. A fridge that trips the power has an electrical fault. Unplug it until it is checked.
Will a surge protector help?
Yes, against surges after power cuts. It won’t fix a fault that is already there.
