Often it is not obviously a broken seal that is causing your fridge to perform poorly.  Here are some more services that we can help you with.

Door alignments: An old broken, torn or cracked seal is relatively easy to see as a problem as to why your fridge is not keeping cool, but a poorly aligned door can be invisible to the fridge owner if you are not aware that the seal is not adhering to the face of the fridge because the door has dropped.

What to look out for is when you close the fridge or freezer door the door will bounce off the face of the fridge and may not close. Alternatively you may close the fridge door and the freezer door will bounce open.

A door alignment is a simple process of taking off the fridge and freezer door and realigning the door to the face of the fridge and tightening the screws. We always check the door alignment after replacing seals to make sure the seal has got the “happy slap” sound as it closes.

Broken hinges or broken door corners: A new fridge can be damaged before or during its arrival to your home especially the bottom hinge. We have found many broken hinges that needed to be rebuilt in order to be able to stabilise the bottom door. The damage may have been done years previously and slowly, every time the door is opened and closed the hinge is caving-in at the bottom hinge.

Due to the demand for this door repair Mark is getting very good at hinge restoration and all those who have had their fridge door repaired are very pleased to have the fridge working as good as new.

Vermin attack on fridges and freezers: Something that is not so common is when insects or rats attack the seals on your fridge or freezer stored in the garage or shed. If the seal is old and not sealing well vermin are able to smell the food inside the fridge and will start to attack the seal in order to get into the fridge. A well fitted new seal and door alignment should stop this problem, as well as cleaning any spills around the face or on the seal to prevent attracting vermin to the fridge.

Skope thermal liners: With Skope brand glass drinks cabinets and under counter fridges we have found over time the thermal liners start to deteriorate and need to be replaced when a new seal is put in. We are able to buy these liners from New Zealand and replace seals and liners giving the fridge or cabinet “a new lease in life”.
