The fridge faults we fix in Sandton

Most fridge call-outs in Sandton come down to a handful of familiar problems. Here is what usually sits behind each — though the only way to be sure is for the technician to test rather than guess.

Not cooling

A fridge that has stopped cooling can be a failed thermostat, a blocked defrost system, a faulty fan or a gas/compressor fault — very different repairs at very different prices. We diagnose the actual cause before quoting rather than assuming the worst.

Freezer over-icing

Heavy ice build-up usually means a failed defrost element, defrost thermostat or timer, or a perished door seal letting warm air in. We confirm which and put it right.

Compressor runs constantly

A compressor that never switches off points to a refrigerant fault, a dirty condenser, a failing fan or a thermostat stuck closed. We test the system rather than guess.

Water pooling inside or under

Water collecting at the bottom is typically a blocked defrost drain. Clearing it is often a quick job once correctly diagnosed.

Noisy or warm despite running

Noise or a warm cabinet while running can be a failing fan motor, a tired compressor or a relay fault. We pinpoint the part rather than replace parts on spec.
