Fridge & Freezer Repairs

Durban’s humidity can be tough on cooling systems. Whether your fridge is humming loudly, leaking, or failing to keep your drinks cold for the Sharks game, we handle:

  • Thermostat and compressor replacements.

  • Regassing and seal repairs.

  • Icemaker and water dispenser fixes. 

Don’t let the laundry pile up. We repair front-loaders, top-loaders, and condenser dryers. From “not draining” to “excessive vibrating,” we’ll have your laundry cycle back on track in no time.

Save your hands and your time. If your dishwasher is leaving spots on the glasses or failing to drain, our technicians can diagnose the pump or heating element issues on the spot.

Whether you’re cooking a Sunday roast  or a quick weekday meal , a faulty plate or oven element is a major setback. We specialise in both electrical and gas-assisted appliance troubleshooting.

Modern TVs are delicate and highly technical. Our technicians bring a mix of “old-school” precision and modern “tech-savvy” to every job:

  • Same-Day Diagnostics: We aim to get your entertainment back on track immediately.

  • Backlight & Power Specialists: Common issues like “sound but no picture” or “failing to power on” are our bread and butter.

  • All Major Brands: From Samsung and LG to Hisense, Sony, and Skyworth, we use compatible, high-quality components to ensure a crisp picture.

  • 6-Month Warranty: Just like our fridge and washer services, our TV repairs come with our signature half-year guarantee.

Common TV Issues We Solve Across Durban:

Whether you’re in the Upper Highway or Amanzimtoti, we come to you to fix:

  • LED Backlight Replacement: If your screen is dark but you can still hear the audio.

  • Power Supply Board Repairs: If your TV was a victim of a Durban lightning storm or power surge.

  • Software & Connectivity Issues: Help with HDMI ports, Wi-Fi casting, and smart hub glitches.

  • Image Distortion: Fixing vertical lines, color bleeding, or ghosting images.

Note: Please keep in mind that cracked or physically smashed screens are often more expensive to fix than buying a new unit. For all other internal electronic faults, our Durban appliance repairs team is the most cost-effective way to save your TV from the landfill!

FAQ

  • Do you offer same-day appliance repairs if I book this morning?

    We know that a broken fridge or a washing machine full of wet clothes is a minor emergency. While we can’t promise a spot for every single call, we strive for same-day or next-day service whenever possible. Our goal is to minimize the disruption to your day. If you call us early in the morning, there’s a much higher chance we can get a technician to your door before the day is out. 

  • What is the cost of an appliance repair call-out fee in Durban?

    We believe in being upfront about money. We charge a reasonable call-out fee that covers the technician's travel time and the professional diagnostic work needed to find the fault. Once we know what’s wrong, you’ll get a transparent, written quote for the repair. You won't find any "surprise" charges on your bill—you approve the final price before we even pick up a screwdriver.

  • Is it worth repairing an old appliance or should I just buy a new one?

    This is the most common question we get! The honest answer depends on the "Rule of 50." If the repair costs more than 50% of the price of a brand-new machine, and your appliance is already past its expected lifespan, it might be time to upgrade

  • Why is my fridge not cooling but the light is still on?

    It’s incredibly frustrating when the light is shining, but your milk is getting warm. Usually, this means the power is reaching the unit, but the cooling system has a hiccup. It could be a dusty condenser coil (a very common Durban issue due to humidity and dust), a faulty thermostat, or a fan motor that’s given up. If you hear a clicking sound, it might be the compressor struggling to start. It’s best to keep the doors closed to trap the remaining cold air and give us a call before your groceries spoil.

  • Why is my freezer building up so much ice inside

    This is usually caused by a faulty door seal (gasket). If the seal isn't airtight, warm, humid air from your kitchen leaks into the freezer, turns into moisture, and then freezes into that "Arctic tundra" look. Check your seals for any cracks or gaps. Another culprit could be a failing defrost timer. If your freezer looks like a glacier, it’s working harder than it needs to, which will definitely spike your electricity bill.

  • What causes a washing machine to make a loud banging noise during the spin cycle?

    If your washing machine sounds odd , it’s usually one of two things: an unbalanced load or worn-out tub bearings. If it only happens once, you probably just had a heavy duvet bunched up on one side. But if it happens every time, those bearings or the shock absorbers are likely shot. Ignoring this can lead to much more expensive damage, so it’s worth getting it checked out as soon as the noise starts.

  • Why is my washing machine not draining the water out?

    This is often a "pocket treasure" problem! Coins, hair clips, or even small socks can get stuck in the drain pump or the filter. Most machines have a small access door at the bottom front where you can clear the filter (be ready for some water to spill out!). If the filter is clean but the water is still sitting there, the drain pump might have failed or there’s a blockage deeper in the internal hoses.

  • What areas of Durban , KwaZulu-Natal do your repair technicians cover?

    We are proud to serve the greater Durban area and beyond. Our technicians are frequently out and about in:

    • Durban North & Umhlanga

    • Westville, Pinetown, & Queensburgh

    • Hillcrest, Kloof, & Gillitts (Upper Highway)

    • Amanzimtoti & the South Coast

    • Ballito & the North Coast If you aren’t sure if we cover your specific suburb, just give us a shout—chances are, we have a van heading your way soon! 

  • Can I buy spare parts from you if I want to fix it myself?

    While the "do-it-yourself" approach is great for a leaky tap or a squeaky door, modern appliances have become incredibly complex. Today’s machines are packed with sensitive electronic boards and sensors that are easily damaged if handled incorrectly.More importantly, working with high-voltage electricity and water connections carries real safety risks. Often, what looks like a simple part replacement requires specialized tools and a deep understanding of the manufacturer’s wiring. We’ve frequently been called in to fix "DIY projects" that ended up costing much more than the original repair would have. When you book a professional, you aren't just paying for a part—you’re paying for the peace of mind that the job is done safely, correctly, and comes with a full guarantee on the result.
