Appliance repairs · Durban West
When a fridge in Durban West is not cooling properly, the first job is to work out which system is causing the temperature problem. We diagnose airflow, defrost, electrical, control, compressor and refrigeration faults before recommending the repair.

Before booking in Durban West
These details help us understand the problem and prepare for a more useful first inspection.
Check whether the entire cabinet is warm or only one compartment is affected. Listen for normal fan movement and note whether frost or water collects near the door. A blocked airflow path, worn door seal, control issue and refrigerant-related fault need very different repairs. We will assess the symptoms rather than assume the appliance only needs gas.
Move perishable food to safe storage if temperatures are rising. Keep the model information and any display error available. Do not chip ice from the evaporator or pierce panels to speed up defrosting.
Describe any recent move, door-seal damage, power interruption or previous re-gassing. Tell us whether the compressor starts and stops frequently, runs continuously, or does not start.

Our repair approach
We begin with the symptoms you have noticed, check the components and controls connected with the fault, then explain what needs attention. A proper diagnosis helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
How repair pricing works →Common faults we repair
What is cold, what is warm and when the problem started can point the diagnosis in different directions.
Airflow, fan, icing or damper conditions become a priority when the freezer still holds temperature.
Power, compressor start-up, controls and refrigeration performance need to be checked.
Defrost components, sensors, drainage and airflow can all contribute to frost build-up.
Start components, supply conditions or compressor behaviour may be involved and should be tested.
Our repair process
We use the cooling pattern to decide which checks come first instead of assuming the fridge needs gas or a compressor.
We check whether the fridge and freezer are failing in the same way.
Operating sounds and start behaviour help separate airflow from sealed-system issues.
Ice patterns and water can reveal defrost, drainage or airflow problems.
Sensors, controls and the cooling system are assessed according to the earlier findings.
Useful before the visit
A clear symptom description helps us decide which systems need attention first.
Heavy frost behind an internal panel, ice around vents or no visible frost at all can change which airflow, defrost and refrigeration checks come first.
Intermittent cooling is important to describe. Tell us whether the fault appears after door use, overnight, after a power cut or only after the compressor has run for a while.
A power event, recent move, deep clean, long door opening or sudden increase in food load can provide useful context without proving the cause on its own.
Our repair work
Our technicians test the appliance, access the components that need attention and carry out the repair with the correct checks for the fault.

Answers about the faults we repair and how to book.
No. Fans, airflow, icing, controls, start components and other faults can create similar symptoms.
Restricted airflow, fan or icing problems are common possibilities and need inspection.
Send the model label if visible, a photo of the inside or rear if relevant, and describe which section is warm.
