Fridge Not Cooling in Bothasig, Edgemead or Plattekloof
A fridge that is not cooling is one of the most common faults we attend to in residential areas. In some cases, the freezer still works while the fridge compartment becomes warm. In other cases, the entire unit loses temperature.
Possible causes include:
• Blocked airflow between compartments
• Faulty evaporator fan
• Defective thermostat or temperature sensor
• Dirty or restricted condenser area
• Compressor performance issues
• Refrigerant loss
Our technicians test the cooling system properly before recommending repairs. This helps avoid unnecessary part replacement and ensures the correct fault is addressed. If your fridge is losing cooling performance, check fridge not cooling repair for more detail.
Fridge Regassing in Bothasig, Edgemead & Plattekloof
If your fridge has gradually lost cooling power, it may need leak detection and regassing. However, regassing should only be done after proper testing. A fridge does not “use up” gas like fuel, so if refrigerant is low, there is usually a leak or system fault that must be corrected. Our fridge regassing service includes:
- Leak detection and repair
- Pressure testing
- Correct refrigerant recharge
- System vacuuming where required
- Cooling performance checks
- Final temperature verification
Compressor Replacement in Bothasig, Edgemead & Plattekloof
A faulty compressor can cause complete cooling failure. In some cases, the fridge may click repeatedly, trip the power, overheat, or run without cooling. Our fridge compressor replacement service includes:
- Full compressor diagnosis
- Start relay and overload testing
- Electrical checks
- Refrigerant circuit assessment
- Safe removal of the faulty compressor
- Installation of a compatible replacement compressor
- Drier filter replacement where required
- Gas recharge and final performance testing
We only recommend compressor replacement when it makes sense based on the condition, age, and value of the fridge. For newer or premium models in Plattekloof, compressor replacement may be a practical option. For older units, we provide honest advice before proceeding.

Common Fridge Problems in Bothasig, Edgemead & Plattekloof
Fridge faults in this area are often linked to normal wear, high household usage, blocked airflow, power surges, and cooling system strain. Our technicians test the appliance properly before replacing parts, helping to avoid unnecessary costs.
Freezer Working but Fridge Warm
This often happens in frost-free fridge-freezer units when cold air is not circulating correctly from the freezer section into the fridge compartment. Common causes include evaporator fan failure, blocked air channels, defrost system faults, or ice build-up behind the internal panels.
Fridge Running Constantly
A fridge that does not switch off may be struggling with poor condenser ventilation, worn door seals, low refrigerant pressure, thermostat faults, or compressor strain. This can increase electricity usage and place more pressure on the cooling system.
Excess Ice Build-Up
Ice build-up inside a frost-free fridge usually points to a defrost heater failure, faulty sensor, blocked drain, damaged thermostat, or restricted evaporator airflow. If ignored, this can eventually block cooling completely.
Water Leaks Around the Fridge
Water under the fridge or inside the cabinet may be caused by a blocked defrost drain, cracked water line, damaged drain tray, poor door sealing, or condensation caused by warm air entering the unit.
Unusual Noises or Vibrations
Loud buzzing, clicking, rattling, or fan noises may indicate worn fan motors, compressor strain, loose components, or electrical relay issues. Early diagnosis can prevent a minor fault from becoming a full system failure.
