Common fridge problems

What's your fridge doing? Here's what usually causes it

Find your problem below. Our technician confirms the actual fault at your home and quotes before any work starts.

  • Fridge not cooling Food at risk

    The light works, but the inside is warm or only slightly cool.

    Usually: a gas leak needing a regas, a faulty thermostat, fan or starter relay.
  • Freezer not freezing Food at risk

    Ice cream goes soft or frozen food starts to thaw.

    Usually: a defrost fault, blocked airflow, low gas or a failing compressor.
  • Leaking water

    Water pooling inside the fridge or on the floor underneath.

    Usually: a drainage fault, a cracked drip tray or a water line fault.
  • Too much ice or frost

    Thick ice builds up on the back wall or in the freezer.

    Usually: a defrost heater, timer or sensor fault, or a worn door seal.
  • Loud or strange noises

    Buzzing, clicking, rattling or grinding that wasn't there before.

    Usually: a fan motor, a compressor starting relay or a loose part.
  • Running all the time

    The motor never seems to switch off, and your electricity use goes up.

    Usually: low gas, a thermostat or fan fault, or a worn door seal.
  • Food freezing in the fridge

    Vegetables, milk or drinks freeze on the fridge shelves.

    Usually: a faulty thermostat, temperature sensor or air damper.
  • Fridge dead or tripping

    No light, no sound, or it trips the power, often after load-shedding.

    Usually: a power surge damaging the control board, relay or compressor.

Fridge repair questions

Fridge repair FAQs

Quick answers on cost, booking, common fridge faults, food safety and our guarantee. Can't find yours? Ask us directly.

Cost & booking

Do you charge a call-out fee for fridge repairs?

We diagnose the fault and give you a quote before any work starts. If you accept the quote, the call-out fee is waived. If you decide not to go ahead, the call-out or diagnostic fee is payable.

How quickly can you get to my fridge?

Same-day visits are often available, depending on your area and the time you book. Many fridge repairs are finished on the first visit. If a specific part has to be ordered, we'll tell you how long it should take.

Is it worth repairing my fridge, or should I buy a new one?

Common faults like thermostats, fans, relays, defrost parts, door seals and regassing are usually far cheaper than buying a new fridge, especially for larger or side-by-side models. If a repair wouldn't make sense because of the fridge's age or parts availability, we'll tell you honestly in the quote.

Which areas do you cover?

We repair fridges across Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Roodepoort, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria, Alberton, Edenvale, Germiston and nearby areas. Send us your suburb to confirm availability.

Common fridge faults

My fridge is running but not cooling. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes. Common causes are a gas leak needing a regas, a faulty fan, thermostat or starter relay, or a defrost fault blocking airflow. Our technician tests the fridge on-site to find the actual cause before quoting.

Do you regas fridges?

Yes. If your fridge has lost gas, we find and repair the leak first, then regas it, so the problem doesn't come straight back. Simply topping up gas without fixing the leak is a waste of money.

Why is my fridge leaking water?

The most common causes are a blocked drainage channel, a cracked drip tray, or a water line fault on fridges with ice makers or dispensers. Leaks can damage floors and cabinets, so it's worth having it checked early.

My fridge stopped working after load-shedding. What happened?

Power often returns with a surge, which can damage the control board, relay or compressor. If your fridge won't start, keeps tripping the power or stops cooling after an outage, it needs testing. These faults are usually repairable.

Which fridge brands do you repair?

We repair Defy, Samsung, LG, Hisense, Bosch, Whirlpool, KIC, Smeg, AEG, Siemens, Beko and many other brands, depending on the model and parts availability.

Do you repair commercial fridges?

Yes, including display fridges, bottle coolers, wine fridges and prep counters for cafés, restaurants and shops. Send us the equipment type and the fault so we can confirm the right technician.

Food safety & guarantee

Is my food safe while my fridge isn't working?

Keep the doors closed. A closed fridge keeps food cold for about 4 hours, and a full freezer for up to about 48 hours. Food that has been above about 5°C for more than a couple of hours should be thrown away to be safe.

Is there a guarantee on fridge repairs?

Yes. Completed repairs carry a 6-month parts and workmanship guarantee on the specific repair we did, subject to our guarantee terms.
