Fridge repairs
Common Fridge Problems
Fridge Not Cooling
Fridge running but food is warm? We check airflow, thermostat, fans and seals first, then the compressor and gas.
Fridge Not Freezing
The freezer side of a fridge-freezer has gone soft. Frost, fans and the defrost system are the usual causes.
Fridge Making Noise
A new buzz, click or rattle traced to the fan, relay, compressor mounts or a loose panel.
Fridge Freezing Food
Salad and milk turning to ice? A thermostat, damper or sensor is usually letting too much cold through.
Fridge Compressor Problems
Clicking, humming or a compressor that will not run. We test the relay and start parts before the compressor.
Fridge Not Switching On
No light and no sound. We check the socket, plug, thermostat, control board and wiring on site.
Fridge Leaking Water
Water under or inside the fridge, traced to a blocked drain, door seal, drip tray or dispenser line.
Freezer repairs
Common Freezer Problems

Buzzing, clicking or scraping traced to the fan, starting relay, ice or a loose panel.
Freezer Regassing
Leak repair and regassing for chest and upright freezers, quoted once the leak is confirmed.
Freezer Not Switching On

Freezer Ice Build-Up
Thick frost or drawers frozen shut, fixed at the source: the seal or the defrost system.
Freezer Over-Freezing
Freezer far colder than its setting? The thermostat or sensor is usually stuck.
Freezer Compressor Problems
Clicking, humming or tripping. We test the compressor, relay and overload before recommending a part.
Washing machine repairs
Common Washing Machine Problems
Washing Machine Not Spinning
Clothes soaking wet after the cycle? Drain blockages, unbalanced loads, belts, motors and door locks are the usual causes.
Washing Machine Not Draining
Water left in the drum. We clear the filter, hoses and sump, then test the drain pump.

Washing Machine Tripping Electricity

Frequently Asked Questions About Problems We Fix
Should I pick a problem page or a service page first?
If you can name the symptom, open that problem page, such as washing machine not draining. If you only know the appliance, open the service page. Both routes end in a booked diagnosis.
Do you bring the parts for these problems?
The technician diagnoses your appliance first, then confirms the parts and includes them in your quote before work starts. Each problem page explains how that fault is tested.
What if my symptom is missing from the list?
Book with the appliance type and describe the fault in your own words. The list covers common household problems, and we diagnose plenty of others. Photos help.
Are problem pages different in each Harare suburb?
Fault pages apply across Harare. Area pages add local access and booking notes, so use both if you know your suburb and the symptom.
