Appliance Repair FAQs for Harare

We repair fridges, freezers, fridge-freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, ovens and stoves. If you are unsure whether we repair your particular appliance, contact us with the appliance type, brand and problem.

We provide mobile appliance repair call-outs across our areas we cover. A technician can attend your home or business to inspect the appliance and determine the repair required.

For many appliances, particularly large appliances such as fridges, freezers and washing machines, you can arrange a technician call-out to your location. Contact us with your appliance details so we can advise you on the appropriate next step.

Yes. We can assist with suitable appliances at offices, restaurants, shops, accommodation properties and other businesses. Contact us with details of the appliance and fault so we can confirm whether we can assist.

Where possible, provide:

• appliance type
• appliance brand
• model number if available
• description of the problem
• your location
• your preferred appointment details

Photos or a short video of the appliance or fault may also help when appropriate.

Yes. The appliance needs to be assessed so the likely cause of the fault and required repair can be identified.

This depends on the appliance, its condition, the fault and whether the required repair is practical. Contact us with the brand, model and problem for guidance.

Yes. We diagnose fridge cooling problems and determine what is preventing the appliance from maintaining the correct temperature. See our fridge repairs service for more detail.

Several faults can cause poor cooling, including airflow problems, thermostat or sensor issues, refrigeration-system faults and other electrical or mechanical problems. A technician should inspect the fridge to determine the actual cause.

Yes. We repair chest freezers, upright freezers and other suitable freezer types that are not maintaining the required temperature. Visit our freezer repairs page for more information.

Water under the drawers usually comes from a blocked defrost drain or thawed ice. Note whether the freezer is iced, whether drinks are still cold, and if the puddle is inside or on the floor. The technician confirms the source on the appliance. See fridge leaking water.

Fridge noises can originate from fans, compressors, vibration or other moving components. Unusual or newly developed noises should be assessed to determine the cause.

Yes. Excessive cooling can be associated with temperature controls, sensors, airflow or other faults. A technician can diagnose the cause.

Yes. We diagnose various electrical and control-related fridge faults where repair is practical.

Yes. We repair household fridges and fridge-freezers on our fridge repairs page, and display fridges, bottle coolers and chest freezers for shops and restaurants on commercial refrigeration.

Yes. Electro Appliance Repairs provides fridge refrigeration assessment and regassing services across our Harare service areas. Fridge regassing starts from US$30 where assessment shows it is appropriate.

Book a fridge repair and we will find the cause. Slightly warm food can be a door left ajar, a blocked vent, a fan or a control fault. Regassing, from US$30, is the fix when the diagnosis shows the sealed system is low.

Gradual loss of cooling, long run times and a softening freezer can point to low refrigerant. The same signs also fit fan, ice and control faults, so the technician tests the fridge to confirm. See does my fridge need regassing?.

We check the fridge first. Finding the underlying fault, such as a leak, means the repair lasts and you only pay for gas when your fridge needs it.

Yes. We test the freezer first and regas it when the sealed system is low. See freezer regassing and freezer repairs.

Yes. We provide washing machine repair call-outs across Harare and our selected surrounding service areas.

Yes. A skipped spin can have mechanical, electrical or control causes, and the technician tests the machine to find which one. See washing machine not spinning.

Yes. We diagnose washing machine drainage problems, including faults involving the drainage system and related components.

Spin-only puddles can come from a door seal, a loose hose or water thrown from an overloaded drum. Check whether the leak is at the door glass, the rear hoses or underneath. Keep using the machine only if the floor stays dry and sockets are clear.

Unusual noises may be related to the drum, bearings, motor, pump or other mechanical components. The exact cause should be diagnosed before repairs are carried out.

Yes. We diagnose electrical and control faults on washing machines, from the plug and supply through to the door lock and control board.
