To chill or not to chill: Fridge issue story

This post is not a guide that you can use in case of the emergency or other occasions. It is a story that will let you know how you should never do. Especially, if you want your fridge serve you for a good period of time.

The story below has happened with Sub Zero fridge of one of our client who we have been helping for the last 3 years. Let’s call him John.

Give your fridge some space

John gave us a call and asked if we could send someone asap as he has an emergency with his fridge. As usual we requested some information about what has happened in order to have some understanding of what our engineer should expect. He said that it just does not chill. What was interesting he gave us a new address, where we have never been.

When our engineer arrived, he realised that John has totally moved and now lives in another flat. The whole flat was full of different staff and apparently it was even smaller when the previous one. Approaching the fridge engineer realised that the fridge is surrounded with so many things and said straight away that they all have to be moved away as they cover it too close.

While John was moving boxes and other things around the engineer opened the door and so even more horrible situation. The fridge was also overloaded from inside, moreover it was smelling so bad, so it had to be cleaned first.

Service LE Company provided

Obviously, our engineer did not leave because of the smell. He helped John to remove all the food, cleaned the internal and external fans, checked the pcb and started the fridge again. There were some issues with the starting it again, as the fridge was in such a bad condition for the last week. Eventually, the fridge was brought to the good condition and now serves John as usual.

Give us a call if you need to repair your sub zero fridge in London or anywhere around.

What to do to keep your fridge being well

Here are three main rules we always ask our customers to follow:

Keep the space inside and outside the fridge
Place the fridge at lease 1.5 meters away from the oven
Clean it at least ones in 3 months

Winter is coming: our heating solutions

Cold days are right at the corner. Sun becomes temporary insufficient to keep you and your home or business facilities warm. Very soon, it becomes snowing and freezing. That is why many people don’t like winter. But even those who adore it prefer to enjoy the warmth a heating system provides rather than live in cold houses.

At London Engineers Company, we offer a lot of services and solutions to help you stay warm this winter.

This service means our engineers design your heating system from scratch and carry out its turn-key installation. Typically, it concerns newly built premises and cases when you want to fully redesign your existing solution.

Renovation (pipes or radiators replacement);
Connecting new facilities (radiators, bathrooms, etc.),

Preparing your heating system for the coming winter

Perhaps, this is one of our most in-demand services in autumn and, especially, when cold snap strikes.

This task is crucial not for ensuring only it will survive the coming winter but for your safety as well. To clarify, your boiler idles during summer. But it will have to endure high loads during cold months. Indeed, after such a prolonged rest, fighting for keeping a premise warm is really a challenge for any boiler.

Check and regulate water pressure;
Check your boiler performance and safety;
Repair your system if necessary;
Balancing radiators and the whole system;

Basics: How to look after a dishwasher

Here, London Engineers Company presents dishwasher maintenance DIY. However, if you are not sure you can do some of the things right, never attempt them but contact professionals.

Daily care

As you use your appliance every day, a bit of dishwasher service at the end of the cycle (or, at least, at the end of the day if you run more than one cycle a day) is worth to execute:

Check if there are any food scraps at the bottom of your machine and wipe them out if any. This prevents filter blockage, improves unit efficiency. Moreover, this helps you avoid unpleasant odours inside it.
Leave the door open after every cycle. This helps all the moisture evaporate and the inside to dry.

Weekly care

Weekly care also does not require much of your time. The steps are easy to undertake but help you maintain your unit in top condition, visually and functionally:

Clean the exterior, door’s inner side, door seals, and handles with soapy water. This keeps your appliance spotless and pleasant to look at. Moreover, cleaning also serves the sanitary purpose, don’t letting microbes to multiply.
Rinse the filter off using a soft-bristled brush to get rid of stuck food scraps. This helps you avoid stinky smells inside your dishwasher and helps it to work efficiently.

Monthly care

Run an empty hot wash cycle using a dishwasher cleaner to remove limescale and fresh up your appliance.
Clean holders, racks, and spinning arms to get rid of stuck food scraps.
Clear holes in spinning arms. Use a toothpick to remove any debris. This increases unit efficiency and provides your machine with enough water to produce clean dishes at the end of the cycle.
