Repair guidance / Caple / BR1
The freezer temperature rises
Report the warning indication, any existing temperature reading and whether food has begun to soften. Do not rely on the sound of the appliance as proof that food is being kept cold. This service excludes compressor replacement and sealed refrigerant-circuit work.
A different pattern: the machine runs much more than before
Record whether temperatures are also changing, whether a door is failing to close and whether the change followed a move. Longer operation is evidence, not a diagnosis. Model acceptance comes first; American-style side-by-side units and compressor changes are excluded.
A fitted appliance behind a furniture door
Describe the visible furniture panel, plinth and surrounding cupboards. A built-in appliance needs its access and connection arrangement checked before removal; do not detach cabinetry or pull the appliance forward to make the enquiry.
Identify this Caple model
Provide the complete model and serial number from a safely accessible rating label. Do not remove panels or move heavy equipment to find it.
Bromley and the full address
Send the full postcode and entry details with the Bromley address. If the equipment is in a flat, describe the route from the entrance to the room. Address and access are checked before a Monday–Thursday appointment is confirmed.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the freezer temperature rises”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the freezer temperature rises”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the machine runs much more than before”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Bromley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the machine runs much more than before” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fitted appliance behind a furniture door — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
