French door fridge repairs: what goes wrong
A French door fridge is really three appliances in one cabinet: a fresh food compartment with its own evaporator or air supply, a freezer with drawers and often a separate fan, and an ice and water system with valves, lines and an ice maker that may sit in the door. Each has its own failure modes, and a fault in one often shows as a symptom in another.
The most common French door complaints in Harare are a fresh food section that will not get below about 8 degrees while the freezer is fine, ice building up under the freezer drawers, an ice maker that has stopped, a drip from the dispenser, and a dead or flashing display after load shedding. Food freezing in the back of the fresh food section is also common on models where the damper has stuck open.
These fridges are expensive, and a good repair is almost always far cheaper than replacement. We diagnose them properly, using the model's error codes, sensor charts and test modes, and we show you the fault before any part is ordered.

On site repair
How we repair French door fridges
French door repairs are done on site. We remove the interior panels to reach the evaporators, fans, dampers and defrost components, replace ice maker assemblies and water valves, and replace sensors, inverter boards and main boards after testing. On Samsung and LG models we use the service test mode to drive each component individually, which finds faults quickly and avoids replacing good parts.
If regassing is needed, these fridges use small R600a charges and sometimes two evaporators in series, so the charge weight on the rating plate is followed exactly. We also fit a surge protector if you want one, because a second board failure is the last thing a French door owner needs.

FAQ
French door fridge repair questions
Why does the fresh food section of my French door fridge stay warm?+
Either the fresh food evaporator has iced over because its defrost system failed, the fan serving that section has stopped, or the damper between the compartments has stuck. All three are repairable and none means the fridge is finished.
Can you fix the ice maker in the door?+
Yes. In door ice makers fail at the module, the fill tube, the water valve or the door duct. We test each and replace the part that has failed.
Do you repair French door fridges from Smeg and Bosch as well as Samsung and LG?+
Yes. We repair every brand of French door fridge sold in Zimbabwe, including Samsung, LG, Hisense, Bosch, Siemens, Smeg, Haier, Midea, Whirlpool and Electrolux.
