Fridge and freezer repairs we do in Cold Comfort
Cold Comfort is an outer area of larger plots and newer homes where the city gives way to smallholdings in western Harare. Fridges here are typically freezers that work hard in hot garages and outbuildings, and we repair all of them on site.
Cold Comfort is a growing area on the western edge where small shops and homes often run second-hand fridges. We give straightforward advice on whether a unit is worth a regas or needs a bigger repair.
Because we are also working in Whitecliff, Glaudina and Kuwadzana most weeks, a visit to Cold Comfort rarely has to wait. Every visit starts with a proper diagnosis using gauges, a multimeter and a thermometer, and you approve the price before any part is fitted.

Fridge regassing in Cold Comfort
A fridge that has gradually lost its chill in Cold Comfort may be low on refrigerant, but gas does not simply run out. It leaks. We find and repair the leak, vacuum the system and recharge it to the correct weight so the repair lasts, rather than topping up a system that will fail again in a few weeks.

FAQ
Fridge repair questions from Cold Comfort
What should I do while I wait for the technician in Cold Comfort?+
Keep the doors closed as much as possible, move anything valuable from the freezer into a cool box with ice if you have one, and switch the fridge off at the wall if it is making a burning smell or tripping the power.
Can you repair shop and restaurant fridges in Cold Comfort?+
Yes. Underbar fridges, beverage coolers, display fridges, chest freezers and small cold rooms are all part of our commercial work, and we can arrange visits around your trading hours in Cold Comfort.
My Cold Comfort fridge stopped after a power cut. What is likely wrong?+
Voltage surges when power returns often damage the start relay, capacitor or thermostat, and sometimes the compressor itself. We test each in turn and repair only what has failed. We can also advise on surge protection.
Do you cover the suburbs around Cold Comfort too?+
Yes. Cold Comfort is part of our western suburbs route, which covers the whole of western Harare. See the Harare West page for every suburb we serve.
