Smeg FAB Fridge Repair in Newmarket: Freezer Flap Fixed and Drain Cleared

Smeg FAB fridge repair in Newmarket. The freezer flap handle had broken, and a blocked drain hole was leaving water in the bottom of the fridge; we repaired the flap and cleared the drain so it could run cleanly again.

We were called out to a Smeg FAB fridge in Newmarket that had two problems at once. The freezer flap handle had broken, so the flap needed repairing, and water was collecting in the bottom of the fridge because the drain hole was blocked. We fixed the freezer flap, unblocked the drain hole, and checked the fridge was draining and closing properly before we left.

Standing water in the bottom of a fridge is often a blocked drain rather than a leak. If you notice a puddle on the glass shelf, around the salad drawers, or on the floor in front of the door, switch the appliance off if needed and book a repair before the water reaches the electrics or damages the flooring.
