Fridge and freezer repairs we do in Rugare
Rugare is a lively community of family homes, tuck shops, salons and food outlets in southern Harare. Fridges here are typically household fridge-freezers, chest freezers and the chillers that keep small businesses trading, and we repair all of them on site.
Rugare is a compact suburb near Highfield where fridges in homes and tuck shops are relied on daily. We repair compressors, thermostats and door seals at fair prices.
Because we are also working in Highfield, Glen View and Glen Norah most weeks, a visit to Rugare 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 Rugare
Do you fix chest freezers and upright freezers in Rugare as well as fridges?+
Yes. Freezers that have stopped freezing, frost up heavily or run without stopping are everyday work for us in Rugare, including the chest freezers used by small businesses.
Is it worth repairing an old fridge in Rugare?+
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 Rugare at night or on weekends?+
Yes. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we attend genuine emergencies in Rugare 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 Rugare?+
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.
