Common questions
Why is ice building up at the back of my Defy fridge in Fourways Gardens?
That is almost always a defrost circuit failure: the heater, bimetal or defrost sensor. The ice blocks the evaporator, airflow drops and the fridge compartment warms up while the compressor runs constantly.
How quickly can a coldroom be back at temperature?
Once the fault is cleared, a well-insulated coldroom pulls back down within two to four hours. We advise on stock protection during that window.
Do you work inside gated estates?
Regularly. Technician details, ID numbers and vehicle registration are submitted to the HOA or gatehouse before the appointment so access is cleared in advance.
