Short answer: The fridge faults we fix most often in Patamata are double-door fridges with a cold freezer but warm fridge section (fan or defrost faults), single-door fridges clicking without cooling (starting relay), water leaking under the crisper (blocked drain), and occasional board or relay damage from voltage dips. Most are repaired the same day, usually in under two hours.
