View fault page
Why Is My KIC Fridge Not Cooling?
A KIC fridge that runs but stays warm usually has blocked vents, frost over the evaporator, a failed evaporator or condenser fan, a thermostat or sensor fault, a failed starting relay or a refrigerant leak. On KIC fridge-freezers the mechanical thermostat, the condenser and the starting relay are early checks.
We check airflow, thermostat, fans and seals first, then test the compressor and gas pressures, so you only pay for the repair your fridge needs.
KIC Fridge Leaking Water
Water under a KIC fridge is usually melt from a blocked defrost drain, a cracked or misplaced drip tray, or a worn door seal letting in moist air.
Clear water away from the socket and unplug the fridge if the plug is wet. A blocked drain hole can be cleared with warm water and a soft pipe cleaner, and stubborn ice is best left to the technician.
KIC Fridge Making Noise
KIC fridges hum while the compressor runs and click as the thermostat switches, which is normal. A new buzz, rattle or grinding usually comes from a fan catching ice, a worn fan motor, loose compressor mounts or a vibrating drip tray.
A click every few minutes with a warm cabinet points to the starting relay. We test the compressor, relay and start components before recommending any part, so tell us whether the sound is at the back, inside the freezer or only when the door closes.
Frost or Ice Build-Up in a KIC Fridge
KIC fridges and chest freezers build frost that needs defrosting by hand once or twice a year, when it is about 5 mm thick. Frost that returns within weeks usually means a worn door or lid seal.
To defrost, switch off, move the food to a cooler box and let the ice melt with towels underneath. Use a plastic scraper only, because sharp tools can puncture the cooling pipes.
KIC Fridge Temperature Problems
When salad or milk freezes in the fridge section, a thermostat set too cold or stuck, a damper stuck open or a sensor reading wrong is usually the cause. Turn the thermostat one step warmer and give it a day to settle first.
If the freezer side of the same fridge-freezer is the weak side, see fridge not freezing.
KIC Fridge Not Switching On
A KIC fridge that is completely dead, with the light and motor off, usually has a supply fault, a blown plug fuse, a damaged cable, a failed thermostat or a control board damaged by a surge when the power returned.
Test the socket with another appliance and check the distribution board for a tripped switch. If the light works but the fridge stays silent, the fault is in the starting circuit, covered below.
Suspect a KIC Fridge Compressor Problem?
KIC fridges use a standard compressor with a starting relay and overload, both quick to test and replace. Clicking, humming or a hot compressor with a warm cabinet often comes from the starting relay, overload or thermostat rather than the compressor itself.
We test the compressor, relay and start components before recommending any part. If the compressor has failed, we compare the repair with the age of the fridge and give you a straight recommendation.
KIC Fridge Error Codes
Many KIC fridges use a simple dial rather than a display. If yours has a display, send the exact code, the model from the rating label and a photo of the panel when you book.
Without a display, tell us what the fridge is doing: the temperature, any leak, any noise and when it started.
FRIDGE REGASSING
Does My KIC Fridge Need Regassing?
We check airflow, thermostat, fans and seals first, so you only pay for regassing when your KIC fridge needs it. A fridge keeps its refrigerant for life in a sealed system, so low gas always means a leak, and we repair the leak before regassing so the gas holds.
If the test shows a leak, we explain the leak repair and the regassing together and quote before any work starts.
Fridge Regassing from US$30
KIC Fridge & Freezer Repairs
Most KIC fridges are fridge-freezers, where both compartments share one compressor and often one evaporator, so we diagnose them as one appliance. KIC chest freezers are repaired on the same kind of visit.
For a standalone chest or upright freezer, see freezer repairs and mention KIC when you book.

How to Look After Your KIC Fridge
Simple care keeps a KIC fridge running well between repairs.
Clean the condenser
Vacuum the coil at the back or base twice a year so the compressor sheds heat easily.
Check the door seals
Close the door on a sheet of paper. If it slides out easily, the seal needs replacing.
Keep the vents clear
Leave space in front of the air vents inside so cold air can circulate to every shelf.
Give it space
Leave a gap behind and above the fridge for air to flow, especially in a hot kitchen.

How much does a KIC fridge repair cost in Harare?
We diagnose the fridge first and quote before any work starts. Fridge regassing starts from US$30, after diagnosis, and seals, fans, thermostats and relays usually cost less. See what regassing costs in Harare.
Why is my KIC fridge-freezer not freezing?
Frost over the evaporator, a worn freezer seal, a thermostat fault or a weak compressor are the usual causes. See fridge not freezing.
