How Refitec Diagnoses Fridge Faults
We don’t just guess — here’s how we find the exact problem:
- Visual Inspection — We check for obvious physical damage, burnt parts, or leaks.
- Temperature Test — We measure actual cooling performance vs. the set temperature.
- Gas Pressure Check — We check refrigerant (gas) levels using a manifold gauge.
- Electrical Component Testing — We test the thermostat, relay, compressor, fan motors, and PCB with a multimeter.
- Defrost System Check — We verify the defrost heater, timer, and thermostat are working.
- Door Seal Test — We check for cold air escaping from worn or misaligned gaskets.
Once diagnosed, we explain the fault clearly and give you a quote before starting any work.

Best for: Minor to moderate repairs where the fridge doesn’t need to be moved.
Workshop (Shop) Repair
For complex faults — compressor replacements, PCB repairs, or major structural damage — we may take the fridge to our workshop for proper bench repair. We arrange pickup and delivery.
Best for: Major repairs requiring specialised equipment or extended work time.
Either way, you get a service guarantee on all repairs done by Refitec.
Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A few simple habits can extend your fridge’s life significantly:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Clean condenser coils every 6 months | Dirty coils force the compressor to overwork |
| Don’t overfill the fridge | Overloading blocks air circulation |
| Check door seals regularly | Worn seals let cold air escape, raising electricity bills |
| Leave space at the back | Fridges need ventilation behind them |
| Avoid placing hot food directly inside | Causes compressor strain and temperature spikes |
| Defrost manually if ice builds up fast | Excess ice reduces cooling efficiency |
| Keep fridge level | Uneven placement stresses the compressor |
| Set correct temperature | Fridge: 3–5°C / Freezer: -18°C is ideal |
