Trust Bunbury Appliance Repairs for your Fridges & Freezers
Do you have problems with your refrigerators and freezers? Bunbury Appliance Repairs specialises in fridge repair and freezer repair. Refrigeration and freezing are the most popular ways of food preservation. When food is stored at a cold temperature, it retains its freshness. Furthermore, the cool temperature reduces bacteria activity, preventing food from spoiling quickly. Since your refrigerator is the house’s workhorse that keeps food chilled or frozen all day and night, it’s no surprise that problems arise from time to time.
Bunbury Appliance Repairs are experts in all types of fridge repairs and freezer repairs. Our technicians are well versed in all major brands of refrigerators and freezer types for households and businesses.
Common Fridge Problems
- The fridge is leaking. Leaky refrigerators are relatively simple to repair because there are just a few likely causes: door gaskets, the defrost drain, and the drain pan. First, use warm, soapy water to clean the seal and the portion of the refrigerator that the seal touches. If the soft rubber like door gaskets fail to seal properly, water may leak into the bottom. If that fails, we recommend replacing the door gaskets.
- The refrigerator is excessively loud. Is your refrigerator making a lot of noise? Yes, refrigerators make noises. The sounds of ice clattering into the storage bin and refrigerant hissing through lines are expected and normal. Buzzing, humming, whirring, and vibrating noises, on the other hand, are not natural.
- The refrigerator or freezer isn’t cold enough. Milk and other foods spoil faster than they should.
Bunbury Appliance Repairs can handle all types of electrical appliance repairs or routine maintenance. We guarantee our customers that we will only use high quality parts to ensure that their appliance repair service and performance are of the highest quality.
What are the signs that it's time to get a new refrigerator/freezer?
The refrigerator/freezer is both an investment and a need. If you invest in a high quality model, it can survive for up to 10 to 15 years on average. Any electrical item that will eventually reach the end of its useful life is not a surprise to us. As a result, we must learn to recognise the signs of a failing refrigerator to be ready when it comes to replacing it, perhaps saving us from wasted food and the stress of making an unneeded purchase.

Tips to Prolong the Life of Your Fridge and Freezer:
Here are some helpful reminders to avoid frequent fridge repairs and freezer repairs.
Maintain your fridge temperature.
Check the temperature in your refrigerator and freezer regularly. It is necessary both for food safety and to keep the fridge running smoothly. The temperature in the fridge should be roughly -18 degrees Celcius, while the temperature in the freezer should be zero degrees Fahrenheit. You may get an affordable refrigerator thermometer at most hardware and home improvement stores if you have an older model or suspect that your fridge or freezer isn’t cooling correctly.
Always Check the Gasket.
If your gasket isn’t correctly sealed, cold air may escape, causing the fridge to work harder and consume more energy to reach the desired temperature. Check the gasket for signs of wear and tear on a regular basis. To avoid refrigerator trouble, replace it if it’s damaged or deteriorated. Always clean the gasket regularly with warm, soapy water as part of your fridge maintenance routine to help prevent crumbs and spills from damaging the seal.
Filters should be changed regularly.
Many individuals are unaware that filters in refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers must be replaced regularly. For detailed suggestions and replacement information for your model, consult the manufacturer’s instructions. Changing the filters on your ice maker and water dispenser will keep them clean and help them work more efficiently. Changing your fridge filters as you change other filters throughout your house is an excellent method of remembering to do it.
Always close the door.
Keeping the fridge door closed is one of the most effective strategies to maintain optimal refrigerator maintenance. When the refrigerator door is opened frequently, the refrigerator needs to work harder to maintain the proper temperature. Before you open the fridge door, think about what you need and take everything out at once. When you’re finished, make sure the door is securely shut.
