Fridge and freezer repairs we do in Northwood
Northwood is an inner suburb where family homes sit alongside flats and converted cottages in northern Harare. Fridges here are typically compact single-door and bar fridges in flats as well as full-size fridge-freezers in the houses, and we repair all of them on site.
Northwood is a small suburb near Mount Pleasant where most calls are family fridge-freezers that have stopped freezing or started leaking water. Both are usually quick fixes once the cause is found properly.
Because we are also working in Mount Pleasant, Groombridge and Avondale most weeks, a visit to Northwood 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.

FAQ
Fridge repair questions from Northwood
Do you fix chest freezers and upright freezers in Northwood as well as fridges?+
Yes. Freezers that have stopped freezing, frost up heavily or run without stopping are everyday work for us in Northwood, including the chest freezers used by small businesses.
Is it worth repairing an old fridge in Northwood?+
Usually yes, if the cabinet is sound. A thermostat, relay, fan or regas costs a fraction of a new fridge, and even a compressor replacement is normally far cheaper. We tell you honestly when a fridge is not worth fixing.
Do you offer emergency fridge repairs in Northwood at night or on weekends?+
Yes. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we attend genuine emergencies in Northwood outside normal hours. For non-urgent faults we will book the next available daytime slot.
What should I do while I wait for the technician in Northwood?+
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.
