Our Fridge Repair Coverage
Every Parktown repair we complete is backed by a 90-day workmanship guarantee. Parts carry their own manufacturer warranty (typically 6 to 12 months). If the exact same fault returns within the workmanship window, we attend again at no further cost.
Common Refrigerator Issues
After a load-shedding event we see a spike in Parktown call-outs for fridges that won't restart, often the PTC overload protector, plus inverter-board failures on Samsung and LG units. A surge arrester on the wall socket is the cheapest preventative we recommend on every visit.
Each Parktown call-out gets the same structured diagnostic, the same OEM-only parts policy, and the same written quote process. The variation is in the specific fault and the brand of the fridge, not the standard of service.
90-Day Workmanship Guarantee
All work is guaranteed. Same fault inside three months means a free return visit, no quibble.

Bookings made before 11:00 are attended the same day from our Johannesburg run.

Brand Coverage for Local Fridges
Brand-trained technicians for Parktown customers. Whether your kitchen runs a Samsung Family Hub, an LG InstaView, a Bosch Serie 8 column, a Smeg retro fab, or a long-serving Defy double-door, we have the parts and the procedures.

From Phone Call to Cold Fridge
Step 1: you book. Phone, WhatsApp or the form at the top of this page. Step 2: confirmation. We SMS the technician name and ETA. Step 3: diagnostic. A multimeter test on the relay, a temperature probe in both compartments, a check of the gasket and the defrost path. Step 4: written quote. Step 5: repair on-site. Step 6: a calibrated function test before sign-off, and your guarantee paperwork.
Specific Faults We Handle
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.
Pricing & Workmanship Guarantee
For Parktown customers we keep three pricing promises in writing: 1) the diagnostic fee is credited against the repair, 2) the written quote covers parts, labour and consumables with no hidden line items, 3) the 90-day workmanship guarantee applies to the exact fault we attended. Parts carry their own manufacturer warranty.
