In Kikuyu

LG fridge repair, where you are.

Kikuyu is a mix of family homes and small farms, with many households keeping second fridges, freezers and washers for larger families. These appliances work long hours, and seals, belts and thermostats wear.

We cover Kikuyu, Kinoo, Sigona, Thogoto and Zambezi. Tell us whether the appliance is in the house or a store room so the technician brings the right tools.

LG fridges in Nairobi homes are mostly Inverter Linear Compressor models. The compressor changes speed to match the cooling the fridge needs, so it is quieter and uses less power than a fridge that switches fully on and off.

That design depends on a control board, and boards do not like surges. Many faults we see after a blackout or a storm are the board or its connectors. The rest are the usual fridge faults: fans, defrost parts, sensors and door seals.

Common faults

LG fridge problems we fix in Kikuyu.

  1. 01

    Not cooling

    A failed start relay, thermostat or fan, a blocked condenser, or low gas from a leak.

  2. 02

    Gas refilling

    We find and fix the leak first, then recharge with the right gas for your model.

  3. 03

    Ice build-up

    A defrost heater, sensor or timer has stopped, so frost chokes the evaporator and air stops flowing.

  4. 04

    Water leaking

    Usually a blocked defrost drain or a cracked drip tray under the fridge.

  5. 05

    Noisy or clicking

    A struggling compressor, a worn fan motor or a start relay clicking on and off.

  6. 06

    Door not sealing

    A worn or torn door gasket lets warm air in and makes the fridge run all day.

Problem guide

What you see, and what we do.

The usual causes and the repair, in plain words.

Fridge side warm, freezer still cold

What you notice
Drinks are warm but ice cream is frozen solid.
Usually
Cold air travels from the freezer to the fridge through a duct and a fan. A stopped fan or ice in the duct cuts it off.
What we do
We check the fan, clear the ice, find why it formed, usually the defrost heater or sensor, and replace that part.

Whole fridge warm, compressor silent

What you notice
Lights on, but no hum and nothing is cold.
Usually
On an inverter fridge this is often the board that drives the compressor, usually after a surge. Less often the compressor itself.
What we do
We test the board and the compressor windings, then repair or replace the board. We never replace a compressor that tests good.

Freezer frosting up

What you notice
Thick ice on the back wall, and the fridge slowly warms up.
Usually
The fridge melts its own frost a few times a day. If the defrost heater, its sensor or the thermal fuse fails, frost keeps building.
What we do
We test each defrost part, clear the ice and replace the failed part.

The visit

What the technician does, in order.

  1. We ask what the fridge is doing and look at the model label inside the fridge.
  2. We measure the temperature in the fridge and the freezer and listen to the compressor and the fans.
  3. We check the air channel, the fans, the defrost parts and the door seal before we look at gas.
  4. We test the board and the compressor if the fridge is silent or starts and stops.
  5. You get the cause and the full price before any part is changed, and we leave the fridge cooling again.

Care tips

Keep your LG fridge running.

Simple things you can do at home between repairs.

  • Leave a hand-width gap behind and above the fridge so the heat can leave.
  • Clean the condenser coil every few months with a soft brush while the fridge is unplugged.
  • Use a good voltage guard. Inverter boards suffer in surges.
  • Wait a few minutes after a power cut before you switch the fridge back on.
  • Check the door seal with a sheet of paper. If it slides out easily, the seal needs attention.

Questions

Before you book.

Anything else? Send it on WhatsApp and a technician answers.

Do you repair LG fridges in Kikuyu?

Yes. A technician comes to your home or business in Kikuyu, Kiambu and repairs the LG fridge where it stands, in most cases in one visit.

How soon can you reach Kikuyu?

Often the same day for Kikuyu and nearby Kinoo. Call or WhatsApp early in the day and we give you the earliest time.

Why is my LG fridge not cooling but the freezer works?

Cold air reaches the fridge through a fan and a duct. A stopped fan or ice in the duct leaves the freezer cold and the fridge warm. It is one of the commonest faults and is rarely a gas problem.

Is it safe to keep food in a fridge that is not cooling?

Move meat, fish and milk to the freezer or a cool box. Food above about five degrees spoils quickly. Book a visit early.

Will a voltage guard protect my LG fridge?

A good one protects against surges and delays the power coming back, which is when most boards are damaged.

How much does a repair cost?

There is a visit fee for diagnosis and transport, which depends on where you are and is confirmed before we come. Once the technician finds the fault you get the full price for parts and labour, and nothing is done until you say yes.

Can you come today?

Often, yes. We are open 24/7 and offer same-day visits whenever a technician is free near you. We confirm the time on WhatsApp or by phone.

Do you use genuine parts?

Yes. We fit genuine parts or parts made for your exact model, and carry the common ones with us, so many repairs are finished on the first visit.

Is the repair guaranteed?

Yes. We test the appliance with you before we leave, and every repair comes with our warranty.
