Expert Compressor Replacement for All Refrigerator Brands
Is your fridge not cooling properly? The compressor might be the culprit. Refitec offers professional compressor replacement services across Nairobi, ensuring your refrigerator runs efficiently again. With over years of experience, we’re your trusted partner for all refrigerator repair needs.
Overview
A refrigerator compressor is the heart of any fridge — it pumps refrigerant through the cooling system, maintaining the cold temperatures needed to preserve food and beverages. When a compressor fails, the fridge stops cooling entirely, and food spoilage becomes a costly problem.
We offer professional fridge compressor diagnosis, supply, and replacement services across Nairobi. Our certified technicians handle all major fridge brands including Samsung, LG, Ramtons, Von Hotpoint, Mika, Hisense, Whirlpool, Bosch, and Beko.
Signs Your Fridge Compressor Needs Replacement
- Fridge is running but not cooling
- Loud clicking, humming, or rattling noises from the back of the fridge
- Fridge compressor feels excessively hot to the touch
- Compressor starts and stops repeatedly (short cycling)
- Complete power failure — fridge does not turn on at all
- Refrigerant leaks detected
Our Repair Process
- Booking — Call or WhatsApp us to schedule a visit at your convenience.
- Diagnosis (Ksh 1,000 fee) — Our technician visits your home, tests the compressor, checks refrigerant levels, and assesses all related components.

- Repair — Upon approval, we source genuine parts and carry out the replacement on-site or at our workshop.
