Fridge-Freezer Repairs
Your fridge freezer is one of the hardest working appliances in your home – so when it breaks down, you need it fixed quickly. At Moston Lane Appliances, we provide reliable fridge-freezer repair services throughout Manchester with fast response times and a friendly, local approach.
We know how frustrating it is to lose essential cooling, especially when you've got a fridge full of food. That’s why we’ll always aim to visit you within 24 hours of your call. Unlike some repair services, we’ll give you a two-hour arrival window – so there’s no need to wait around all day.
Expert Diagnosis – Often Before We Arrive
With years of hands-on experience and in-depth product knowledge, we can often identify the problem over the phone. This helps us bring the right parts with us – and in many cases, fix your fridge freezer in a single visit.
We stock genuine and high-quality parts from Euronics and can order spares for most major brands. Even for older or obscure models, we’ll do our best to source what’s needed quickly.
Common Fridge-Freezer Faults We Repair
If your fridge freezer isn’t working as it should, we’ve probably seen the problem before. Here are some of the most common issues we deal with:
Freezer not freezing
If the compressor has failed, your freezer may stop making its usual humming sound. Constant humming but poor performance could suggest a blocked vent, faulty door seal or temperature regulation fault.
Fridge or freezer icing up
A faulty seal or an overworked evaporator coil can lead to excessive frost build-up inside the unit. Left unchecked, this can reduce efficiency and shorten the life of your appliance.
Temperature problems
Problems with the thermostat, condenser or evaporator coils can all lead to temperature issues – either making your fridge too warm or freezing food unintentionally.
Noisy or vibrating unit
If your fridge freezer is rattling, vibrating or buzzing, it could be caused by an uneven floor, loose components or internal fan issues. We’ll inspect, adjust and repair as needed.
If your fridge freezer is reaching the end of its life, we’ll always give you honest advice. In some cases, replacing the appliance may be more cost-effective than repair – especially if it’s an older model. We stock a carefully selected range of energy-efficient fridge freezers at excellent prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my fridge freezer vibrating?
This usually happens if the appliance is on an uneven surface or a hard floor. Check the balance of the unit – if it’s level and still vibrating, give us a call.
How often should I defrost my freezer?
We recommend defrosting once a year or whenever ice builds up more than ¼ inch thick. Always unplug the appliance first and have towels ready for melting water.
Why is some of the food in my fridge freezing?
Your temperature setting may be too low. If your dial is numbered 1–5, with 5 being the coldest, try turning it down a notch to prevent freezing at the back of the unit.
Why is condensation forming inside my fridge?
This is often due to warm weather or humidity. Check that the seal is intact and the appliance is level. Make sure nothing is preventing the doors from closing fully.
Can I push my fridge right up against the wall?
If your appliance has a metal grid on the back, leave at least an inch of space to allow proper airflow. Without this clearance, you may reduce efficiency or damage the appliance.
Do you repair all makes and models of fridge freezer?
We repair most major brands and many smaller ones too. Just give us the make and model when you call and we’ll confirm if we can help.
Is my fridge freezer repairable if it’s a combined unit?
Yes, we repair both integrated fridge-freezers and standalone models. Combined units are no problem.
Do you offer same-day repairs?
If we have the right parts available, we’ll always try to offer same-day repairs where possible.
Do you work with landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We regularly carry out fridge-freezer repairs for landlords and property managers across Manchester.
