Repair or Replace?

In most cases, repairing your fridge is the more affordable option. As a rule of thumb: if the repair quote is under Ksh 5,000 and the fridge is less than 8 years old, repair is almost always better value than replacing it. If the fridge is over 10 years old, or the quote approaches the cost of a compressor replacement (Ksh 8,000–10,000), it's worth asking your technician whether replacement makes more sense — we'll give you an honest recommendation either way, even if that means advising you not to repair.

Fridge Repair FAQs

Common questions about fridge repair in Nairobi.

How much does fridge repair cost in Nairobi?

Fridge repair in Nairobi costs between Ksh 2,000 and Ksh 10,000. Gas refilling costs Ksh 2,000–4,000. Thermostat replacement is Ksh 2,500–4,500. Compressor replacement ranges from Ksh 5,000–10,000 depending on the brand and model.

Why is my fridge not cooling but the light is on?

If your fridge light is on but it's not cooling, the most likely causes are a faulty thermostat, dirty condenser coils, a failed compressor, or a refrigerant (gas) leak. A RepairTech Kenya technician can diagnose and fix this on the same visit.

How long does fridge repair take in Nairobi?

Most fridge repairs take 1–3 hours. A gas refill takes about 1 hour. Thermostat replacement is 30–60 minutes. Compressor replacement may take 2–4 hours as it involves welding and gas recharging.

Do you repair all fridge brands in Nairobi?

Yes. We repair all fridge brands including Samsung, LG, Bosch, Beko, Von Hotpoint, Whirlpool, Ramtons, Hisense, Mika, Ariston, Electrolux, Siemens, and others. We repair single-door, double-door, side-by-side, and chest freezers.

Why is my fridge making loud clicking or buzzing noises?

Loud clicking noises from a fridge usually indicate a failing compressor or start relay. A buzzing sound can be a faulty fan motor or vibrating pipes. These issues worsen over time — call RepairTech Kenya to diagnose before the compressor fails completely.
