Major Roads & Access Routes
Good accessibility is critical for prompt repair. These are the major roads & highway links in and around Ruai that help Refitec get to you quickly:
- Nairobi Eastern Bypass Highway — passes through or near Ruai; major route for easy access from Embakasi, Utawala, Mihang’o and gets good connectivity. (Wikipedia)
- Kangundo Road — many estates like Fadhili and Kamulu are located along or near Kangundo Road. Refitec technicians often use this route. (Firmfort)
- Jogoo Road — mentioned in reports about Ruai’s roads; branches that lead toward the sewer treatment plant and neighbouring areas. (Nation Africa)
- Tarmac links between Ruai estates and the Eastern Bypass or main feeder roads (these sometimes are short unpaved or semi-graded roads connecting estates).
Because of the expanding road infrastructure, including the Eastern Bypass, many estates are now much more accessible than in the past, which helps us reduce travel times and cost.
Common Washing Machine Problems in Ruai Estates
In our years of servicing in Ruai, these are among the most common issues:
- Poor drainage or water not draining – blocked hoses, faulty drain pumps or filter clogging.
- No spin / drum not rotating – belt issues, worn bearings, motor problems.
- Leaking hoses or tub – worn seals, loose hose clamps, or external damage.
- Electrical faults / not powering on – console failures, wiring, fuse issues.
- Noise, vibration or shaking – unbalanced load, faulty suspension springs, worn bearings.
Refitec offers both minor repairs and major fixes for all these faults. Sometimes spare part replacement is needed, other times a simple adjustment or cleaning is enough.
Pricing & Turnaround Time
While actual cost depends on the model, brand, and severity of fault, here’s a rough guideline:
Type of Repair | Estimated Labour + Parts* | Turnaround Time |
---|---|---|
Minor repairs (hose, filter, small leaks) | Low to moderate cost | Same day or next day |
Moderate faults (pump, motor belt, bearings) | Medium cost | 1-2 days depending on parts availability |
Major repairs (control board, drum replacement, etc.) | Higher cost | 2-4 days or more if special parts needed |
* Refitec aims to keep spare parts in stock for commonly used brands. If parts need to be ordered, we communicate expected delay.

Tips to Keep Your Washing Machine Running Longer
To minimise repairs and extend the life of your machine:
- Always check and clean filters, hoses, and inlet screens.
- Avoid overloading washes — follow capacity limits.
- Use correct detergents (especially for front loaders) to avoid excess foam and pipe blockage.
- On heavy rain or load shifting (many houses in Ruai are on slopes), ensure machine is level and base support is solid.
- Keep the machine plugged into a surge protector or stable power supply; fluctuations cause damage to electronics.
Service Reach & Case Scenarios
Because Refitec is familiar with Ruai’s layout, here are some examples of how we serve different estates:
- A resident in Finpark Estate Ruai, near the Eastern Bypass, called us midday; we were able to fix a leaking inlet valve same afternoon.
- Someone in Fadhili Estate (Ruai-Kamulu) reported a non-spinning drum; we replaced bearings and belts the next day.
- A home in Manyatta/Ruai Park Area needed control board diagnostics; we delivered the replacement part within two days owing to good road access via Kangundo Road and the Sure Eastern Bypass link.
Why Timely Repair Matters
Delaying washing machine repair has consequences:
- Water leaks can damage flooring or walls in houses, especially in estates with shared boundaries.
- Faulty machines consume more energy or water, increasing utility bills.
- Continued use despite a problem (e.g. noisy bearings) can worsen faults, making eventual repair costlier.
- For families, washing machines are essential — having reliable repair means fewer disruptions to daily chores.
