How Refitec Diagnoses Fridge Faults
We charge a flat diagnosis fee of Ksh 1,000 — this covers a thorough check of your fridge before any repair quote is given. Here is how we do it:
- Visual inspection — we look for obvious damage, leaks, or burnt components.
- Electrical testing — we test the compressor, thermostat, capacitor, and control board.
- Temperature check — we measure actual cooling performance against the expected range.
- Refrigerant check — we detect gas leaks using a detector and check pressure levels.
- Full report — we tell you exactly what is wrong, what parts are needed, and the total cost before we start.
You only pay for repairs you agree to. No hidden charges.

Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A little maintenance goes a long way. Here are simple things you can do:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Clean condenser coils every 6 months | Dirty coils make the compressor overwork |
| Do not overfill the fridge | Blocks air circulation and strains the motor |
| Check door seals regularly | Worn seals let warm air in, wasting energy |
| Defrost manually if frost builds up | Excess frost reduces cooling efficiency |
| Keep fridge away from direct sunlight or heat | Makes it harder to maintain cool temperatures |
| Leave space behind the fridge | Allows heat to escape from the compressor |
| Avoid putting hot food directly inside | Raises internal temperature and strains the system |
| Set the correct temperature | Fridge: 3–5°C, Freezer: -15 to -18°C |
Following these tips can add years to your fridge’s life and avoid costly repairs.
