How Refitec Diagnoses Fridge Faults
We don’t guess — we test. Here’s our simple process:
- Initial assessment — We ask you to describe the problem and how long it’s been happening.
- Visual inspection — We check the door seals, coils, drain, and internal components.
- Electrical testing — We test the thermostat, compressor, fan motors, and control board using proper tools.
- Gas pressure check — We check refrigerant levels if cooling is the issue.
- Diagnosis report — We tell you exactly what’s wrong and give you a clear quote before any repair begins.
Diagnosis Fee: Ksh 1,000 — This covers the full assessment. If you proceed with the repair, it’s deducted from the total cost.

Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s what we tell our Lavington customers:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Clean condenser coils every 6 months | Dust build-up strains the compressor |
| Don’t overload the fridge | Blocks airflow and reduces cooling |
| Check door seals regularly | Worn seals let warm air in |
| Keep fridge away from the wall by 5–10cm | Needs airflow around the coils |
| Avoid placing hot food directly inside | Forces the compressor to overwork |
| Defrost your freezer when ice builds up | Thick ice reduces efficiency |
| Set correct temperature (3–5°C fridge, -18°C freezer) | Prevents strain and food spoilage |
| Don’t leave door open unnecessarily | Puts pressure on the cooling system |
Simple habits like these can add years to your fridge’s life.
