COMMON FRIDGE FAULTS
What's your fridge doing?
Most fridge problems fall into a handful of patterns. Tell us which sounds closest — we'll ask the right questions from there.
Not cooling
A fridge that never gets cold usually points to a thermostat, sensor, blocked vent or a compressor losing pressure.
Freezer cold, fridge warm
Airflow, a damper or the evaporator fan is often behind a warm fridge with a working freezer.
Leaking water
Blocked defrost drains, a worn door seal or a water inlet fault can leave water inside or under the unit.
Ice build-up
Defrost heater, timer or sensor faults cause frost to build up and cooling to drop off.
Noisy or clicking
Condenser or evaporator fans, compressor mounts and loose panels are common sources of noise.
Error codes or tripping
We read the code, test the sensor or board, and check the wiring before replacing anything.
WHAT WE CHECK
A proper diagnosis, not a guess.
A fridge fault is rarely just one thing. We test the whole cooling chain before quoting, so the repair addresses the cause — not just the symptom.
Actual fridge and freezer temperatures, measured over time.
Door seals, hinges and closure — the most common cause of warm air.
Condenser coils, ventilation and airflow around the unit.
Defrost system, drainage and ice build-up.
Fans, sensors, thermostats and the control board.
Compressor and sealed-system pressures where the fault points there.
REPAIR OR REPLACE?
Honest advice before we start.
If a repair no longer makes financial sense, we'll say so. We weigh up the appliance's age, the cost of the part, and how much life it has left — then give you a straight recommendation.
Age matters. Under about eight years, a fridge is usually worth repairing.
Parts availability. We check the part is available before you commit to anything.
Running costs. A tired compressor quietly adds to every electricity bill.

FRIDGE FAQ
Good to know before you book.
My fridge is warm but the freezer is fine. Can you fix it?
Yes. A warm fridge with a cold freezer usually points to an airflow, damper or evaporator fan problem. It's one of the most common faults we repair.
Do you repair fridges at my home?
Most fridge repairs are completed at your home. If the fault needs sealed-system work or a workshop bench, we explain why before anything leaves your kitchen.
How long does a fridge repair take?
Most repairs take 45 to 90 minutes once we're on site. If a part needs ordering, we confirm the lead time and book the return visit with you.
Is it worth repairing an older fridge?
Sometimes. We look at the fridge's age, the cost of the part and its running efficiency. If replacement is the smarter spend, we'll tell you plainly.
Which fridge brands do you work on?
We service all major brands sold in South Africa, including Samsung, LG, Defy, Bosch, Siemens, Hisense, Whirlpool, Miele, AEG and Smeg.
