Who to call to fix fridge

This wasn't a cheap unit, so I'd like to get it looked at before thinking of a replacement. Would I call an electrician for this?

"No you need to look for appliance service engineers. Some electricians may have a little experience in appliances but we specialise in the power that feeds the fridge rather than the fridge itself"

"Currys
Nationwide retailer. They repair fridges and fridge-freezers. Call to book a repair.

What to do before calling
• Have your fridge brand, model number, serial number ready. Helpful for diagnostics.
• Note down what’s wrong: not cooling, leaking, strange noise, etc.
• Check whether it’s still under warranty. If yes, manufacturer-service might cover the repair.
• Ask for fixed price quotes including parts and labour.
• Ask about guarantees (how long is the work guaranteed / parts)."

"Not normally done by an Electrician as you may need gas topped or parts replaced. Need a appliance repair engineer who would have access to correct equipment"
