A side-by-side refrigerator has full-height fridge and freezer compartments beside each other. Sometimes called an American-style fridge, it can develop a problem in one compartment while the other continues working.
The most useful starting point is to describe where cooling has changed.
Fridge Warm, Freezer Still Cold
Possible causes include a fan fault, restricted airflow, an iced evaporator, a damper problem or faulty temperature sensing. The relevant components depend on whether the model shares cooling between compartments or uses separate arrangements.
Freezer Warm, Refrigerator Still Cooling
We check the freezer’s temperature control, airflow, door closure and refrigeration operation. Tell us whether food is gradually softening, frost has appeared or the temperature changed suddenly.
Both Compartments Losing Temperature
A complete cooling loss can involve the power supply, controls, compressor starting components or refrigeration system. Working lights and a responsive display do not confirm that the cooling system is operating properly.
Uneven Cooling Within One Compartment
If particular shelves are warm while others remain cold, we assess loading, vents, fans and temperature sensing. We also check for ice restricting airflow.

Side-by-Side Door Seal and Closing Repairs
Each compartment needs a properly closing door to maintain its operating conditions. A damaged gasket, worn hinge or alignment problem can allow warm air into the cabinet.
Signs worth mentioning include:
- A visible gap around the seal
- A door that needs pushing firmly to close
- Condensation around the opening
- Frost developing near a door edge
- A door alarm that keeps sounding
- A seal that is torn, loose or hardened
Our technician checks the gasket, door alignment, hinges and any obstruction before recommending replacement parts.
Where one door has a fault, we assess that door and its effect on operation. We do not assume that both seals require replacement.
Cooling, Defrost and Electronic Component Replacement
Our side-by-side fridge repair service includes diagnosis and replacement of components such as:
- Evaporator and condenser fan motors
- Temperature sensors and thermistors
- Thermostats, where fitted
- Electronic control boards
- Air damper assemblies, where fitted
- Defrost heaters and related controls
- Compressor starting components
- Door switches and relevant lighting components
- Door gaskets and closing hardware
- Drainage components
A control board should be replaced only after the fault has been established. Wiring, sensors and connected components can produce symptoms that resemble a board failure.
Need Urgent Repairs for Your Side-by-Side Refrigerator?
Speak directly with our qualified refrigeration technicians for rapid diagnostic advice and prompt attendance.
Water Leaks, Ice Build-Up and Unusual Noise
Water Beneath Drawers or on the Floor
Blocked defrost drainage, excess condensation or damaged drain components can cause water to collect. The location and timing of the leak help us trace its source.
Ice Returning After Defrosting
Removing ice can temporarily improve airflow while leaving a failed defrost component or sealing problem unresolved. We investigate why the ice returns and which parts need attention.
Clicking, Scraping or Rattling
Repeated clicking may involve compressor starting components. Scraping can occur when a fan contacts ice, while rattling may involve vibration or a loose component.
Describe where the sound comes from and whether opening a door changes it. A recording can help with an intermittent noise.
Integrated Features and Model Details
If your refrigerator has an integrated ice maker or water dispenser, mention those features when booking and describe any related symptoms. Providing the exact model helps us identify the equipment and confirm the service required.

We also repair domestic-style refrigerators used in staff rooms, offices and other workplaces. Tell us how the unit is used, who will provide access and who can approve the work.

Is Your Side-by-Side Fridge Worth Repairing?
We consider:
- The confirmed fault and proposed repair cost
- The condition of the cabinet and doors

- Previous breakdowns or repairs
- Availability of the required parts
- The cost of a suitable replacement
A single component failure and several recurring faults deserve different advice. We explain the findings so you can choose the option that suits your refrigerator and budget.

Before Your Side-by-Side Repair Visit
Have the brand and model number ready, or take a photograph of the rating label if it is accessible.
Tell us:
- Which compartment or feature is affected
- When the problem began
- Any displayed error or alarm
- Whether the fault is constant or intermittent
- Whether the refrigerator has recently been moved
- Any previous repair relevant to the symptoms
For a large cabinet, mention stairs, restricted access or a tight installation recess. Our technician will assess the access needed; you do not need to force the refrigerator out before the visit.
After diagnosis, we explain the repair and price. Once approved, we complete the work and appropriate operating checks, then advise on temperature recovery and anything to monitor.
