Did you know that fridges are most likely to break down during the summer months? Warmer air puts fridges under pressure to keep the inside at an optimal operating temperature. Not to mention warmer weather leads to us stocking up on freezer essentials like ice cream and sorbet and BBQ supplies. Overfilling your freezer also puts additional pressure on by blocking air vents and the circulation of cold air which could lead to it burning out.

If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your fridge or it’s not working as well as it used to, check out our recommendations for a new fridge freezer this summer…
