Dead after a power cut
Power surges and blackouts damage the inverter board. We repair or replace the board and check the compressor.
Inverter fridges save power with a variable-speed compressor and a control board. They need a technician who tests the board and compressor properly instead of guessing.
Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
Power surges and blackouts damage the inverter board. We repair or replace the board and check the compressor.
The compressor tries to start and stops. Usually the inverter board, sometimes the compressor itself.
Samsung, LG and Hisense show codes for sensors, fans and the compressor. We read them and test the part.
A failing sensor or board makes the compressor run in bursts.
A worn inverter compressor or loose mounts.
Inverter fridges rely on variable-speed fans that fail with age or ice.
Kenyan power cuts are hard on inverter fridges. A good surge protector or voltage guard costs far less than a new inverter board.

The compressor itself is replaced if it has failed, but often the fault is the inverter board, sensor or fan, which costs much less. We test before replacing anything.
A surge when power returns often damages the inverter board. We test and repair or replace the board, and recommend a voltage guard.
