Why Choose Refitec in Roysambu?
Here are reasons why residents of Roysambu prefer Refitec:

What to Do When Your Washing Machine Fails
To make sure that your repair process is smooth and that you get the best value, here are steps you should take:
- Note the exact model number and brand of the washing machine.
- Observe and record what the machine is doing or not doing (e.g. “makes noise before spin”, “leaks from front door”, “won’t start”).
- Check immediate issues you can handle: ensure the plug is fine, fuse hasn’t blown, hose inlet isn’t blocked, the machine is level (uneven machines vibrate a lot).
- Call Refitec with those details, and also tell us your estate (e.g. Thome, Zimmerman, Garden Estate) or nearest road (Lumumba Drive, Kamiti Road, off Thika Road). This helps us come prepared.
- Be ready for a technician visit: clear enough space, ensure water & power supply are accessible.

Examples of Service in Specific Estates
Here’s how Refitec works in different parts of Roysambu:
- Zimmerman: Accessible via off-ramps from Thika Road. Traffic can be heavy, especially near morning/evening. We schedule visits early to avoid delays.
- Garden Estate & Ridgeways: Often via Lumumba Drive or smaller feeder roads off Thika Road. Some access roads are narrow; sometimes machines are far inside houses, so technicians may carry tools to move parts.
- Thome Estate: Very close to Thika Road, often easiest access. We can respond fast here, sometimes same-day service.
- Mirema: Some parts are nearer to TRM Mall, others off smaller roads; parts may take slightly longer if we don’t stock them in the van, but turnaround is still fast.
Customer Tips: Keeping Your Washing Machine from Breaking Down
Once you’ve had your repair done, here are maintenance tips so you don’t need another service soon:
- Clean filters and lint traps regularly (especially for front loaders).
- Don’t overload the drum; follow the load capacity.
- Keep machine level to reduce vibrations and wear.
- Ensure good quality water; hard water damages parts. Use softeners or filters if needed.
- Keep the area around the machine dry, avoid rust or corrosion.
- Floss or check the door seal/gasket; ensure it’s clean and free of debris.
- Use proper detergents (especially for front load machines that need low-foam detergents).
How to Contact Refitec & Booking
When you’re ready to book service:
- Call or WhatsApp Refitec on [add phone number]
- If possible, send a photo of what’s wrong, the brand/model, and name your estate (for example, “I live in Kongo Soweto off Kamiti Road”) so we can estimate travel & spare parts.
- We will schedule a time; for neighbourhoods close to Thika Road or TRM, usually within a few hours; for farther inside estates or off small feeder roads, maybe same day or next morning.
