Thetford, Dometic, Bushman & Waeco specialists. 3-way absorption & 12V compressor fridges.
Book a Fridge RepairA failed caravan fridge can ruin a trip fast. Most faults are far cheaper to repair than owners expect, and many units written off by other workshops can be fully restored.
Caravan fridges are specialist appliances - the absorption cycle is completely unlike a household fridge, and 12V compressor units need specific diagnostic equipment.
Our team has been fixing these for decades and carries a wide range of replacement fridges and parts in stock, so most jobs start the same day with no waiting.

Before you assume your fridge is dead: make sure the van is level, ventilation behind the fridge is clear, and the gas bottle is on. Most "dead fridge" jobs come into the workshop and turn out to be simple fixes. Call us - we may be able to talk you through a quick check.
The most common causes are poor ventilation behind the fridge, a levelling issue (3-way absorption fridges must be close to level to work), a failed cooling unit, low gas pressure, a burner/ignition problem on gas mode, or a failed 12V/240V heating element. Bring your caravan in and we will diagnose it properly - most fridge faults are repairable and far cheaper than a replacement.
We repair and service all major caravan fridge brands including Thetford, Dometic, Waeco, Bushman, Evakool, Engel and older Electrolux units. Whether it is a 3-way absorption fridge or a 12V compressor fridge, our team has the experience and tools to diagnose and fix it.

Absolutely. 3-way absorption fridges (gas / 12V / 240V) are one of our specialities.

Yes. We repair all electronic and mechanical faults on Thetford caravan fridges, including error codes on the control panel, ignition problems on gas, cooling failures, and control board replacements. Bring it in and we will diagnose the fault and give you a repair quote.
It depends entirely on the fault. Minor repairs like thermostat replacement, gas jet cleaning, or seal replacement are typically inexpensive. Major repairs like cooling unit replacement or control board faults are more significant but still usually worth doing compared to a full fridge replacement. We provide a written quote after diagnosis so you can make an informed decision.
