PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Compressor failure is one of the most serious fridge problems — the fridge stops cooling entirely and food begins to spoil. This can be caused by electrical faults, refrigerant leaks, or age-related wear. Our technicians across Hartbeespoort can diagnose whether the compressor itself has failed or if the start relay or capacitor is the culprit, potentially saving you the cost of a full compressor replacement.
