Defy fridge faults we fix
The Defy fridge faults our technicians see most, what usually causes them, and a guide for each one.
Fridge-freezer icing up
A faulty defrost heater or a blocked air vent.
Fridge not cooling
Often blocked airflow, a dirty condenser, a fan fault or a defrost fault.
Fridge warm, freezer still cold
Usually an airflow fault: a failed fan, a stuck damper or an iced-up evaporator.
Leaking water inside or onto the floor
Most often a blocked defrost drain. A leaking door seal or water tank can also cause it.
Freezing food in the fridge
A temperature setting, a faulty sensor, an air damper or the control board.
Buzzing, grinding or clicking
A fan catching ice, a worn fan motor or a compressor that is struggling.
Tripping the power
Water on the wiring, a defrost heater leaking to earth or a failing compressor.

Defy fridge questions
Why is my Defy fridge-freezer icing up?
Usually the defrost heater has failed or an air vent is blocked. Ice builds up on the back panel and cold air stops reaching the fridge. A technician tests the defrost system and clears the ice.
My Defy fridge is not cold but the freezer works. Why?
Cold air is made in the freezer and blown into the fridge. A failed fan, a stuck damper or ice blocking the vents stops it. Our guide explains the checks you can do.
Do you carry Defy fridge parts?
We carry common Defy parts and source the rest. Send us the model number from the rating plate so we can check before we come.
Will repairing my Defy fridge void the warranty?
If your Defy fridge is still under its original warranty, we recommend an authorised Defy service centre. We specialise in out-of-warranty repairs.
What does a Defy fridge repair cost?
The call-out fee is R450 and it falls away if you go ahead with the repair. The technician gives you a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
