Fridge too cold
A thermostat stuck closed keeps the compressor running and freezes food in the fridge.
Mon–Sat, 9:00 to 19:00
Fridge thermostat repair.
The thermostat tells the compressor when to run. When it fails the fridge freezes your vegetables, never gets cold, or runs non-stop. A quick part to replace.

What we fix
Common fridge problems.
Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
Fridge too warm
A thermostat stuck open, or a sensor reading wrong, stops the compressor starting.
Runs non-stop
The thermostat never switches off, which wears out the compressor.
Dial does nothing
Turning the dial makes no difference: the thermostat has failed.
Sensor error on display
Digital fridges use sensors instead of a thermostat. A failed one shows an error code.
Damper stuck
On some fridges a damper controls air to the fridge and sticks open or shut.
Check the dial first: it often gets knocked to 0 or the coldest setting while cleaning. A middle setting suits most fridges in Nairobi.

Questions
Fridge questions.
Still not sure? Call 0725 570 499 or send a photo of the fault on WhatsApp.
How do I know if my fridge thermostat is faulty?
If turning the dial makes no difference, or the fridge freezes food on a normal setting, the thermostat is likely faulty. We confirm it with a meter.
Can you replace a thermostat the same day?
Yes. Common thermostats travel in the van, so most are replaced on the first visit.
What setting should my fridge be on?
About 3 to 5 °C inside the fridge, usually a middle setting on the dial.
