Why hire a fridge repair & installation expert through Airtasker?

Let’s face it: fridges can’t stop working. After all, everyone counts on them to keep food from spoiling. But when they do stop working, you may need to think and act quickly.

Top Fridge Repair & Installation related questions

Start by checking the power. Check the thermostat - it may need replacing. Then, make sure the vents in the back compartment have enough room for circulation. You can also try vacuuming the coils under or behind your fridge. If your fridge has a fan instead of coils, try cleaning the fan blades or replacing them if they no longer work. If none of these get your fridge to cool down, seek help from a refrigerator repair expert near you.

Once you’ve unpacked your refrigerator and moved it to your chosen spot, check to make sure there is a gap on each side. Make sure the fridge is level, too. Then, install the shelves and trays and plug the refrigerator in. Depending on your brand or model, it could take a few hours for the appliance to start cooling. No time to move fridges and check on its temperature? Book a fridge engineer or electrician to do this instead.

Right here on Airtasker! To start, tap the “Post a task” button. Fill out the form, including your location, appointment date, the details of the task, and budget. Tap “Get quotes” then wait for the offers to come in. Choose the Tasker that best fits your needs, then confirm your appointment. With Airtasker, there’s no need to put up an ad, or make lots of calls, or ask the neighbours for recommendations - a few taps or clicks, and that’s it! 

It would depend on the model of your refrigerator, as some need more space to open correctly. Some brands make corner refrigerators that may help you save on space while still being able to use your fridge correctly. If you are thinking of moving your existing fridge into a corner area, it’s best to consult an electrician first to make sure you can operate the fridge safely in that new spot.

First, check the style of the refrigerator you plan on getting. Make sure it fits your needs and won’t bloat your electric bill. Make sure your fridge has enough storage space - you may need more space than what your current fridge offers. Remember to check the fit of the appliance as well, including counter-depth, clearance for walking, and the entry points to its future spot in your kitchen or dining room.

Airtasker can help you find available refrigerator specialists in your area. After you post a task, we’ll connect you with local Taskers, who will then review your task post and send an offer if they’re available. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to find someone available the next day! Since Airtasker asks for your location, you can minimise travel time and get a repairman to your door, ASAP!

What do fridge repair technicians do?

A fridge repair technician comes to your home to fix one of your most important appliances: the humble kitchen fridge. Or, in some cases, the all-important bar fridge. 


Many of us take our fridges for granted and it’s not until something goes wrong that we pay attention to them. In most cases, the repair is simple for an experienced technician and it can be done in one quick visit. 


In cases when it’s a bit more complicated then replacing the seal, it’s important you don’t attempt it yourself. Unlike other DIY opportunities, fiddling with the mechanics of a fridge can have dire consequences if you haven’t had proper training. 

Fridge door repair

On of the most common problems, and thankfully one of the easiest to fix, is when fridge seals no longer work properly. Fridge door repair is easy to diagnose, cheap to fix and spare seals are often on hand. 

Samsung fridge repairs

As one of the most trusted names in tech, Samsung has made a huge dent in the Australian fridge market. With so many of these models in our homes, it’s no surprise that Samsung fridge repairs are often required. Because of the quality of this manufacturer, it’s a good option to fix rather than replace the appliance. 

Bar fridge repairs

It’s not just your primary kitchen fridge that might need to be repaired. If you’ve found that your bar cooler no longer chills wines and beers to your liking, there’s no reason to have a warm drink. Post a job for bar fridge repairs and you could be enjoying cool drinks again in no time. 

Fridge removal

Although repairing your fridge is often the cheapest and smartest first step, there comes a time when a fridge is beyond even the most skilled technician’s abilities. In cases like these, you might need to hire a fridge removalist and start looking for a new model.
