If the milk is not staying cold, the freezer is icing up, or the fridge sounds like it is working overtime, you need answers quickly. Fridge Repair Ferntree Gully from A.S Appliances Repair Services focuses on stable temperatures, clean airflow, and practical fixes that match the real fault. In Ferntree Gully, we often see two patterns. The freezer stays cold while the fridge warms up, or water starts pooling under drawers after a defrost. Therefore, when you book, tell us which pattern you are seeing and whether the issue is constant or comes and goes.
We repair modern fridges and freezers and aim to confirm the cause before recommending parts. Cooling issues can be caused by airflow restrictions, defrost problems, worn seals, sensors, or control faults. Moreover, a fridge can appear to cool while still being unsafe for food if temperatures swing. For wider coverage, see Fridge Repair Melbourne.

Local fridge repairs in Ferntree Gully, airflow and defrost issues first
Ferntree Gully homes can run warm in kitchens during heat spikes, while nights can feel cooler near the hills. As a result, weak seals and poor ventilation show up quickly. Two common calls we get are "freezer is cold but fridge is warm" and "water keeps collecting under the crisper". We check airflow, fans, defrost behaviour, and drainage early, because that is often where the real cause lives.

What should I do right now if the fridge is not cooling?
Keep the doors closed and limit openings. Move essentials to a cooler if you have one, then book a repair. Tell us whether the freezer is cold, because it changes the likely causes.
Why is my fridge leaking water inside or onto the floor?
This is often caused by a blocked defrost drain, however seals and water line issues can also play a role. We confirm the source and clear the cause, not just the puddle.
Is frost build up always a defrost failure?
Not always. A door seal that is not closing properly can pull in moisture and create frost. Therefore, we check seals and airflow alongside defrost behaviour.
Why is the fridge section freezing food?
This can be caused by airflow problems, sensor faults, or control behaviour that is over cooling. We confirm the temperature feedback and airflow path before recommending any parts.
My fridge is noisy. Is it dangerous?
Not always, however a new harsh noise is worth checking. Sometimes it is ice contact or a loose panel, and sometimes it is a fan issue. We identify the source and explain the fix clearly.
