Our Fridge Repair Coverage
Replacing a fridge can run R8,000 to R25,000. The repair that brings it back to full service is almost always less. Before Castleview households commit to a new unit, our technicians give you an honest assessment so you can make the right call.
Refrigerator Problems and Their Fixes
The Castleview repair shortlist we see weekly: a) fridge running but not cold, b) loud knocking from the back, c) puddle of water under the unit, d) dishes freezing in the fridge compartment, e) ice-maker not making ice, f) fridge dead after a power outage. We carry parts for every one of these.
Most Castleview fridge problems show one of a small handful of symptoms. Our technicians know the diagnostic order that gets to the root cause fastest, relay first, then fan, then defrost path, then sealed system.

From Phone Call to Cold Fridge
From your call to a cold fridge: most Castleview jobs follow the same path. Initial booking via phone or WhatsApp. Confirmation SMS with name and ETA. The technician arrives, opens the back of the unit, runs an electrical and thermal test, and quotes in writing. Most repairs happen the same visit. We test before we leave and you get the workmanship paperwork.
Diagnostics and Fixes
Fridge not cooling — usually a fan motor, condenser coil or defrost-path fault. Compressor not running — most often a start relay or PTC, occasionally the compressor itself. Lost refrigerant gas — always leak-tested before recharge. Freezing fresh food — thermistor drift or stuck damper. Water under the fridge — blocked defrost drain in nine out of ten cases. Loud or unusual noises — fan bearings, compressor mounts or refrigerant flow. Dead fridge after power cut, relay, fuse or control board. After-hours? Our emergency response covers most of Gauteng.
What a Castleview Repair Costs
What a Castleview repair costs depends on the brand, the fault and the parts. A start-relay swap is typically the cheapest fix. A sealed-system regas or compressor replacement sits at the higher end. We give you the figure in writing before we open the toolbox, so there are no surprises.
