Washing Machine Repair in Kamakis by Refitec
When your washing machine stops working, it can throw your whole household schedule off. In Kamakis, Ruiru, Refitec is dedicated to providing fast, reliable, and affordable washing machine repair services. Here’s what you need to know about how we serve this growing area, where we work, and why we’re the best choice.
Understanding Kamakis and Its Location
Kamakis is an urban area in Ruiru, Kiambu County, located along the Nairobi Eastern Bypass Highway. (Wikipedia) It has developed rapidly into a commercial and residential hub owing to its strategic location and excellent road access. (Fanaka)
This means for Refitec, though traffic and access can sometimes be tricky depending on road conditions, we still manage to reach homes and estates across Kamakis and nearby estates quickly because of proximity to major highways. We leverage good knowledge of roads like Thika Road, the Eastern Bypass, Northern Bypass, and other feeder roads to get to you fast. (Fanaka)
Major Roads We Service
Here are the major roads along or near Kamakis that help define the service area and allow for quicker travel:
- Eastern Bypass Highway — Kamakis is located along this bypass. It is one of the main roads connecting the area to Nairobi, Utawala, Ruai, and eventually to the northern parts. (Wikipedia)
- Thika Road / Thika Super Highway — This is a key route for many residents of Kamakis. It connects to major hubs and makes it easier for service technicians to reach estates. (Fanaka)
- Northern Bypass — Though not directly through Kamakis, it helps with access from northern suburbs when avoiding central Nairobi traffic. (Fanaka)
- Other local roads, access ways, and feeder roads in between estates such as Gatong’ora, Karuguru, Green Valley, Membley, Evergreen, and adjacent neighbourhoods. Refitec uses these local paths for direct access.

Why Choose Refitec for Washing Machine Repair
- Local knowledge & fast response
Because we are locally based in Kamakis / Ruiru, we know the roads, the estates, and the traffic patterns. We can often reach your home in a fraction of the time non-local service providers might. - Comprehensive diagnostics & repair
We don’t just plug in and send you a bill. Refitec’s technicians conduct thorough diagnostics, whether the issue is drum not spinning, leaking, strange noises, or electrical problems. Once we identify the issue, we provide a clear quote before commencing work. - Genuine parts & transparent pricing
We use replacement parts that meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards or very close alternatives, depending on availability. Pricing is upfront so no surprises at the end. - Service across multiple estates
As listed above, we don’t only serve one pocket of Kamakis. Whether you are in Gatong’ora, Evergreen, Membley, or further off Thika Road or near the bypass, we get to you. - Support & follow-up
After a repair, we provide a warranty period (check case by case) and offer maintenance advice so you avoid repeat breakdowns (e.g. cleaning filters, balancing loads, avoiding overloading etc.).
Common Washing Machine Problems We Fix
Here are typical issues you might face, and how Refitec handles them:
- Machine won’t start – Could be power supply, control panel, or wiring. We test all these.
- Motor hums but drum won’t spin – Bearings, belt, or motor coupling issues may be involved.
- Excess vibration or knocking – Balanced feet, shock absorbers, or wear & tear in drum suspension.
- Leaking water – Bad seals, hoses, or drainage issues.
- Not draining or spinning properly – Blocked filter, drain pump failure, or door lock issues.
- Error codes / display faults – For modern washing machines with digital controls, we decode and resolve.
How to Book Us
- Call or WhatsApp Refitec with your location (estate) and problem description.
- We’ll estimate how long to reach your home (usually quicker if you’re near the main roads like Eastern Bypass or Thika Road).
- Technician arrives, does diagnostics, explains the issue, and gives fixed quote.
- Repair on site if possible. Sometimes parts must be ordered; in that case, we schedule a return trip.
- We offer after-service warranty and tips to maintain your machine.
Service Costs & What Affects Them
Service cost depends on:
- Distance from our workshop or parts depot (for remote or less-accessible estates, or when traffic is bad).
- Severity of problem (simple fixes like hose replacement cost less than motor replacement or electronic board work).
- Cost of parts – whether generic/OEM or custom parts needed.
We aim to keep the costs reasonable for Kamakis residents, with transparent breakdown on labour + parts.
Tips to Avoid Washing Machine Breakdowns
While we’re always ready to help, these tips can reduce frequency of issues:
- Don’t overload – Always follow the load capacity stated in your machine manual.
- Clean the filter and detergent drawer regularly – build up of debris can clog drains.
- Use proper voltage stabilisers / surge protectors when necessary – electrical surges damage control boards.
- Level the appliance – ensure the washing machine is placed on a flat surface, feet adjusted.
- Balanced loads – avoid washing heavy and light items together without distributing load evenly.
Coverage Areas & Travel Time Estimates
Because Kamakis is well-connected:
- Estates along or just off Eastern Bypass (Gatong’ora, Green Valley, Karuguru) typically are reached within 15–30 minutes, depending on traffic.
- Areas off Thika Road or further inside like Membley, or other newer estates off feeder roads may take a bit longer if road conditions or traffic are less favourable.
- For estates behind Kamakis (Destiny area, etc.), we often follow local access roads; it’s helpful when you indicate landmarks (shell petrol station, schools, etc.) when booking.
