From no response to fully cooling
A complete breakdown usually comes from one of four things: the power supply, the wall control, the main motor or a safety cut-out. We test each one in order, so we fix the real cause rather than guessing.
If the breakdown points to a unit at the end of its life, such as a burnt-out motor in a 20-year-old cooler with a cracked tank, we will tell you straight away and give you repair and replacement options side by side.
Signs of a full breakdown:
- Wall control shows nothing, or an error code
- No fan noise from the roof unit at all
- Cooler starts briefly, then shuts down
- Circuit breaker trips as soon as it starts
- Fan hums but does not spin
- Cooler stopped after a storm or power outage

Breakdown causes we find most often
How your evaporative cooler works
Evaporative cooling uses water and fresh outside air instead of refrigerant. Understanding the four main parts makes it easy to see why a single failed component stops the whole system cooling.
Tank & pump
Water collects in the tank and the pump lifts it to the top of the pads.
Cooling pads
Water soaks the pads. As hot air passes through, evaporation cools it by up to 10–15°C.
Fan & motor
The fan draws air through the wet pads and pushes it down into the ducts.
Ducts & outlets
Ducts carry the cool air to each room. Open a window or door so warm air can escape.
Simple, transparent and on time

Emergency Breakdown Repair: common questions
Why has my cooler stopped working completely?
The most common causes are a failed wall control, a burnt-out motor or capacitor, a tripped circuit or a power-surge-damaged control board.
Is it worth repairing a cooler that has broken down?
Usually. Most breakdowns are a single part. If the unit is very old and several parts are failing, we will give you a replacement quote as well.
Can a storm damage my cooler?
Yes. Lightning surges can damage control boards, and strong winds can lift lids or loosen mounts. We repair both.
Do you fix error codes on wall controls?
Yes. We diagnose error codes on Breezair, Braemar, Bonaire and other controllers and repair the underlying fault.
How long does a breakdown repair take?
Most are completed within one to two hours on site. If a model-specific part is needed, we order it straight away.
