We provide fridge compressor repair & replacement for fixed-speed and compatible inverter refrigerators, freezers and light commercial cooling equipment across Nairobi and its environs. Every visit starts with diagnosis, followed by a clear explanation and quotation before approved work begins.
Signs that you may need this service
Refrigeration problems can develop gradually or appear without warning. Contact us when you notice one or more of the following symptoms. Continuing to operate a struggling appliance can increase electricity use and place other components under unnecessary strain.
- Compressor hums and then clicks off
- Unit is completely silent despite having power
- Circuit breaker trips when cooling starts
- Compressor runs but creates no cooling
- Body of compressor becomes extremely hot
- Technician has identified damaged windings
What our technicians check
A good repair begins with testing, not guesswork. The technician considers the appliance history, visible symptoms, temperature pattern and operating sounds. Depending on the model and fault, the inspection may cover start relays, capacitors and overloads, compressor windings and terminals, electronic inverter modules, refrigerant and oil circuits, filter driers and system restrictions, power supply and control boards.
We also check whether ventilation, installation, loading or power conditions are contributing to the problem. If a component needs replacement, we identify the correct specification and explain the available repair option before proceeding.

Practical advice before the technician arrives
Keep the appliance connected unless there is a burning smell, electrical tripping, exposed wiring or standing water near electrical parts. Avoid repeatedly switching it on and off. Move highly perishable food to a safe alternative if cooling has already been lost, and leave enough space for the technician to access the sides and rear of the unit.
Have the model label available when possible. It is commonly found inside the fresh-food compartment, behind a drawer, on an inner side wall or at the rear. A clear photo sent by WhatsApp can help with preparation and parts research.
