Fridge Repair in Dubai
Fridge repair in Dubai for everyday problems: a warm fridge, frozen-over freezer, water pooling inside, constant running or strange noises. Fridge-freezers, compact, under-counter and mini fridges, repaired at your home.
Two-minute fridge check before you call
Some fridge problems have simple causes. Try these steps in order, and if the fridge still isn’t right, send us a message.
- 1
Check the dial or display
Children, cleaners or a power cut can change the setting. Set the fridge to around 4°C.
- 2
Clear the vents
Move food away from the back wall and the small vent between the freezer and fridge.
- 3
Test the door seal
Close the door on a sheet of paper. If it slides out easily, the seal isn’t gripping.
- 4
Give it room to breathe
Pull the fridge out slightly so warm air can escape from the back and sides.
- 5
Wait a few hours
After changes, allow time to cool down. No improvement means a part needs attention.

Fridges we repair
Smaller fridges have their own weak points. These are the types we see most in Dubai homes, offices and rentals.
Fridge-freezers
Upright combinations with the freezer above or below. Frost-free defrost systems, fans and thermostats are the usual suspects when cooling drops.
Compact and under-counter fridges
Common in studios, kitchenettes and offices. Tight installation spaces often mean overheating, so we check ventilation as well as the fault.
Mini and bar fridges
Bedroom, hotel-style and bar fridges. We repair compressor, absorption and thermoelectric types and replace worn seals and thermostats.
Beverage and wine coolers
Temperature swings, fan noise and condensation in glass-door coolers, including control and sensor faults.
Common fridge faults
Fridge warm, freezer fine
Air from the freezer isn’t reaching the fridge section.
Likely: iced-over evaporator, defrost heater or sensor fault, broken fan.Ice building up in the freezer
Frost on the back wall or around the drawers, getting thicker each week.
Likely: defrost system fault, worn door seal, door left ajar.Water pooling inside
Puddles under the salad drawers or on the shelves.
Likely: blocked defrost drain, displaced drain tube.Buzzing, clicking or rattling
New noises from the back or inside the freezer.
Likely: fan blade touching ice, compressor relay, loose drip tray.Running non-stop
Compressor never switches off, yet cooling is weak.
Likely: dirty condenser, failing fan, low refrigerant, faulty thermostat.Completely dead
No light, no sound, no cooling.
Likely: power supply, thermostat, control board or start relay.Please don’t chip away ice with a knife
The cooling pipes sit just behind the freezer walls. A single puncture lets the refrigerant escape and can turn a simple defrost repair into a much bigger job. Switch off and let it thaw, or call us.
Large refrigerator instead?
Side-by-side, French-door and built-in refrigerators have water, ice and twin cooling systems. See our refrigerator repair page for those models.

Fridge repair FAQs
Why is my fridge not cold but the freezer is?
Cold air for the fridge usually comes from the freezer section. If the freezer coil has iced over because of a defrost fault, or the small fan that pushes air through is broken, the freezer stays cold while the fridge warms up. This needs a technician to defrost the coil and replace the faulty part.
Why is there water at the bottom of my fridge?
The defrost drain hole at the back of the fridge is probably blocked with food debris or ice, so defrost water collects inside instead of draining to the tray underneath. We clear the drain and check why it blocked.
My fridge is running all the time. Is that a problem?
In very hot weather a fridge runs more, which is normal. If it never stops, check the door seal and the ventilation gap first. Continuous running with poor cooling often means a dirty condenser, a failing fan or low refrigerant.
Do you repair mini fridges and bar fridges?
Yes. We repair compact, under-counter, mini and bar fridges, including hotel-style absorption fridges and thermoelectric beverage coolers. For very low-cost units we’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How often should I defrost my fridge-freezer?
Frost-free models defrost themselves. Older manual-defrost freezers need defrosting when the ice is about 5 mm thick. If a frost-free model is building up ice, its automatic defrost system has a fault.
What should I do while waiting for the repair?
Keep the doors closed as much as possible, move the most perishable food to a cool box or another fridge, and don’t chip at ice with sharp tools, as that can puncture the cooling pipes.
