Whether your fridge is not cooling, leaking water, making unusual noises, freezing food in the fridge section, or failing to switch on, our technicians provide accurate fault diagnosis and reliable repair solutions.
The South Peninsula has unique conditions that can affect fridge performance over time. Coastal air, humidity, older homes, compact kitchens, and long-running appliances can all contribute to cooling problems, electrical faults, corrosion, and component wear. For homes in Simon’s Town, Kommetjie, Glencairn, Scarborough, Ocean View, Misty Cliffs and nearby areas, having access to a reliable fridge repair technician is essential when a breakdown occurs.
Fridge Repairs in Simon’s Town
Simon’s Town includes homes, apartments, guesthouses and coastal properties where fridges often run continuously in humid, salt-air conditions. Common issues include poor cooling, worn door seals, noisy fans, electrical faults and compressor strain.
We provide fridge repair services across Simon’s Town, including nearby areas such as Glencairn and Seaforth, with a focus on restoring reliable cooling and preventing repeat faults.
Fridge Repairs in Kommetjie
Kommetjie homes and guest properties often rely on larger fridges, bar fridges and extra freezer capacity for family use, holiday stays and entertaining. Coastal exposure can contribute to rust, moisture-related faults and reduced long-term component reliability.
We provide on-site fridge repairs in Kommetjie, including nearby areas such as Ocean View, Scarborough and Misty Cliffs, helping households restore cooling performance quickly.
Fridge Regassing Simon’s Town & Kommetjie
Fridge regassing may be needed when the appliance gradually loses cooling due to refrigerant loss. In coastal areas like Simon’s Town and Kommetjie, this can sometimes be linked to small leaks caused by long-term wear or corrosion. Typical signs include:
• Weak cooling
• Fridge running continuously
• Temperature changes between compartments
• Freezer only partially cooling
• Food spoiling faster than expected
Regassing should never be treated as simply adding gas. The leak must be located and repaired first, otherwise the fault will return.
Compressor Replacement Simon’s Town & Kommetjie
The compressor is responsible for driving the cooling cycle. In coastal homes, compressor strain may develop gradually as the fridge works harder to maintain temperature in humid conditions. Warning signs include:
• Loud humming or clicking
• Fridge running but not cooling
• Heat build-up behind the appliance
• Intermittent cooling
• Complete cooling failure
Where the compressor has failed, a fridge compressor replacement may be required. We first assess the appliance properly to confirm whether replacement is worthwhile or whether another repair will solve the issue.
False Bay Coastal Fridge Repair Challenges
Simon’s Town and Kommetjie are coastal areas, which means fridges may face conditions that inland properties do not experience to the same degree. Common coastal factors include:
• Salt air contributing to corrosion
• High humidity affecting electrical parts
• Moisture exposure around seals and terminals
• Ventilation issues in compact kitchens
• Higher wear in guesthouses and holiday homes
Fridges in coastal homes often need careful inspection because electrical faults, fan motor wear and corrosion-related issues may develop gradually. Our technicians look at both the appliance fault and the environment in which the fridge operates.
Fridge Not Cooling in Simon’s Town or Kommetjie
A fridge that is not cooling properly is one of the most urgent issues we attend to. In some cases, the freezer may still work while the fridge compartment becomes warm. In other cases, the entire fridge freezer loses temperature. Possible causes include:
• Blocked airflow between the freezer and fridge sections
• Faulty evaporator fan
• Defective thermostat or temperature sensor
• Dirty or restricted condenser area
• Compressor performance problems
• Refrigerant loss due to leaks
• Control board or electrical faults
In coastal homes, corrosion and moisture exposure can also affect terminals, sensors and fan motors over time. Our technicians test the system properly before carrying out repairs, helping to restore consistent cooling and prevent repeat breakdowns.

Common Fridge Problems We Repair
Across Simon’s Town and Kommetjie, we repair a wide range of domestic fridge faults.
Freezer Working But Fridge Not Cooling
This is common in frost-free models. The freezer may still feel cold while the fridge compartment becomes warm. Causes may include evaporator fan failure, blocked vents, defrost faults or sensor problems.
Fridge Running Continuously
A fridge that runs all day is usually compensating for poor cooling efficiency. In coastal homes, this can be made worse by humidity, worn seals or reduced airflow around the appliance.
Water Leaking from the Fridge
Leaks are often caused by blocked drain lines, excess condensation or internal drainage faults. In humid coastal environments, moisture-related issues can become more noticeable.
Fridge Not Turning On
Electrical faults, control board failure, wiring issues or thermostat problems may prevent the fridge from starting.
Fridge Not Cooling Properly
A fridge that is not cooling may have airflow restrictions, refrigerant loss, worn seals, thermostat faults or compressor-related issues
