frequently asked questions for our Durban appliance specialists

  • 1. My fridge isn't cooling. What could be wrong?

    If your fridge isn’t cooling properly, several issues could be to blame. A faulty thermostat may not be regulating the temperature correctly, while clogged condenser coils can reduce cooling efficiency by trapping dust and debris. Additionally, a refrigerant leak could be preventing the fridge from maintaining the right temperature. Damaged or worn-out door seals might also be allowing cold air to escape, further affecting performance. Get in touch for refrigerator repair in Durban. 

  • 2. What is the most expensive thing to fix on a refrigerator?

    The compressor is typically the most expensive component to replace or repair in a refrigerator. It is responsible for circulating refrigerant to maintain the desired temperature. Replacing a compressor can be costly due to the price of the component itself and the labor involved

  • 3. How do I fix my fridge not getting cold?

     

    1. Power: Is it plugged in? Is the circuit breaker tripped?
    2. Thermostat: Is the temperature set correctly?
    3. Door Seals: Are the gaskets clean and sealing properly?
    4. Airflow: Are vents blocked inside?
    5. Condenser Coils: Are they clean? (Vacuum if needed)

  • 7. My fridge is making strange noises. What should I do?

    • Unusual noises can indicate various problems, from minor to serious.
    • A buzzing or clicking sound might be due to a faulty relay or control board.
    • Gurgling or hissing could indicate a refrigerant leak.
    • If you hear any loud or concerning noises, turn off your fridge.

  • 8. Can I repair my fridge myself?

    • While some minor repairs might seem DIY-friendly, it's generally best to leave it to professionals.
    • Fridges involve electrical components and refrigerants that can be hazardous.
    • Improper handling could lead to further damage or even injury.
    • Our technicians have the expertise and experience to diagnose and fix the issue safely.

  • 9. How often should I clean my fridge coils?

    • Regular cleaning of your fridge coils helps maintain optimal cooling efficiency.
    • Aim to clean the coils at least twice a year.
    • If you have pets or a dusty environment, more frequent cleaning might be necessary.
    • Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris.
       

  • 10. My ice maker isn't working. What could be the problem?

    A frozen water line may be blocking water from reaching the ice maker, while a faulty inlet valve could be restricting water flow. Additionally, ensure the ice maker is turned on and check if the water filter is clogged. If troubleshooting doesn’t fix the issue, contact us for professional repair.

  • 11. Is this something I can fix myself, or should I book a technician?

    It depends on the cause. Simple things like changing the filter or checking the water line can be DIY-friendly. But for electrical faults, valve issues, or internal component problems, it’s best to call a professional to avoid damaging the appliance.

  • 12. How much does it usually cost to repair an ice maker?

    Costs vary depending on the issue and the fridge model. Simple repairs can be quite affordable, while major parts like motors or control boards may cost more. We’ll always give you a clear quote before going ahead. 

  • 13. What is the first thing to check when a refrigerator stops working?

    The first thing to check is whether the fridge is receiving power. Make sure it’s plugged in properly and that the wall socket is working by testing it with another appliance. Also check your home’s circuit breaker in case it has tripped. If the fridge has lights or makes noise, power likely isn’t the issue — in that case, it’s best to inspect the thermostat settings or listen for unusual sounds that might indicate a mechanical problem.

  • 14. How much does it cost to regas a fridge?

    The cost to regas a fridge in South Africa typically ranges from R450 to R850, depending on the type of fridge and the amount of gas required. Prices can also vary based on your location and whether the technician needs to travel to you. It’s always a good idea to get a quote upfront and make sure the technician checks for leaks before regassing to avoid repeat issues. 

  • 15. Are freezers worth repairing?

    In many cases, yes — especially if the repair cost is significantly lower than replacing the unit. If your freezer is less than 10 years old and the issue is minor, like a faulty thermostat or worn door seal, it’s often worth repairing. However, if the compressor is failing or the unit is quite old and inefficient, it might make more sense to replace it. A professional diagnosis can help you weigh up the options

  • 16. What is the maintenance needed for a refrigeration system?

    Regular maintenance helps your refrigeration system run efficiently and last longer. This includes cleaning the condenser coils, checking the thermostat settings, inspecting door seals for leaks, clearing out drain lines, and ensuring there’s proper airflow around the unit. It’s also a good idea to have a technician check refrigerant levels and test for any unusual noises or signs of wear. Doing this every six to twelve months can prevent bigger problems down the line.
