How Refitec Diagnoses TV Faults
We don’t guess — we diagnose properly.
- Visual inspection — we check for burnt components, swollen capacitors, or physical damage
- Power test — we measure voltage at key board points using a multimeter
- Component-level testing — we isolate faults to the exact board or part
- Software check — for smart TVs, we check firmware and software errors
- Full test after repair — we run the TV for a burn-in period before returning it
Diagnosis fee: KSh 1,000 (deducted from repair cost if you proceed with us)

On-Site and In-Shop Repair — We Do Both
On-Site Service (We Come to You) Some TVs are too big to carry, or you just can’t find the time. Our technician comes to your home or office in Ruaka, diagnoses on the spot, and repairs where possible. We serve Ruaka and surrounding estates same day or next day.
In-Shop Service (Drop It With Us) Prefer to drop off your TV? Our workshop handles complex repairs that need specialized tools or parts. We give you a receipt, update you on progress, and call when it’s ready.
Either way — you get the same quality work, the same honest pricing, and the same warranty on repairs.
Tips to Prevent TV Problems
A few simple habits can extend your TV’s life significantly:
- Use a surge protector — power surges are the #1 cause of TV board failures in Kenya
- Don’t block ventilation — TVs need airflow; don’t mount them flush against the wall or cover the vents
- Avoid dusty environments — dust accumulates inside and causes overheating
- Switch off properly — don’t yank the plug; use the remote or power button to shut down
- Don’t leave it on all night — it shortens the lifespan of the backlight and other components
- Keep it away from moisture — kitchens and bathrooms are risky spots for electronics
- Update smart TV firmware — manufacturers release fixes for bugs and crashes
- Handle remotes carefully — liquid inside a remote can damage the IR signal and cause erratic behaviour
