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.

Full diagnostics and repair on Thetford N-series absorption fridges and all current electronic control panel models. Error code diagnosis, cooling unit replacement, and gas valve repairs.
Dometic RM and CRX series repairs and replacements. Absorption and compressor fridges, full electronic diagnosis, door seal replacement and ventilation fixes.

Upgrading from a 3-way absorption fridge to a modern 12V compressor unit? We handle the whole job including solar and battery integration.

Burner blockages, ignition faults, thermocouple failures and gas jet problems. We are licensed for gas work on caravan appliances.
12V heater failures, 240V burnout, control board faults and display errors. Proper test equipment means we replace only what needs replacing.
Modern Thetford and Dometic fridges display error codes. We know what every code means and how to fix the underlying fault.
A bad door seal ruins cooling efficiency and drains battery power. Seals and hinges replaced for all major brands.
Defrost drain blockages, condensation problems and water leaks around the fridge cavity. Clean, clear and reseal to stop it coming back.
We always quote repair before recommending replacement. Many fridges written off by other workshops can be fully restored for a fraction of the cost of a new unit.
If replacement really is the best option, we can supply and install modern units from Thetford, Dometic, Bushman and Waeco - with full warranty and gas compliance paperwork.

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.
Yes. We supply and install new caravan fridges from Thetford, Dometic, Bushman and others. We can also upgrade from an older 3-way absorption fridge to a modern 12V compressor unit if your electrical system can support it. We handle the full install including ventilation, mounting, gas, and electrical connections.
Absolutely. 3-way absorption fridges (gas / 12V / 240V) are one of our specialities. We diagnose cooling unit faults, burner and ignition problems, gas jet blockages, thermocouple faults, electronic control failures, and ventilation issues. Many absorption fridges can be fully restored for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
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.
