About Capri fridges in Harare
Capri fridges and freezers are manufactured in Harare and designed for Zimbabwean conditions, with mechanical thermostats, standard compressors and simple cabinets that cope with power cuts better than an electronic import. The range includes manual defrost double door fridge-freezers, single door fridges and chest freezers in several sizes, as well as the stoves the brand is also known for.
The faults on a Capri are the standard mechanical ones: a thermostat that no longer calls for cooling, a relay or overload worn out by restarts, a gasket that has hardened, a blocked drain, and leaks at pipe joints or in an evaporator damaged during defrosting. Because the parts are generic, most Capri repairs are done in one visit from stock on the vehicle.
Capri chest freezers are popular with tuck shops and small businesses, and we attend those as commercial emergencies when stock is at risk.

Independent specialists
How we repair Capri fridges
Capri thermostats, relays, overloads, gaskets and compressors are standard parts that we carry, and Capri fridges use R134a that is charged by weight after a leak repair. A Capri repair is usually one of the quickest and most economical we do.
Because Capri is local, cabinet parts such as shelves, drawers and lids are easier to find than for imported brands.
Harare Fridge Repairs is an independent refrigeration service and is not an authorised Capri agent. We repair Capri fridges and freezers across Harare using correct parts and procedures, and we tell you if a fault should go through a manufacturer warranty instead.

FAQ
Capri fridge repair questions
Do you repair Capri chest freezers in tuck shops?+
Yes, and we treat a shop freezer full of stock as a priority. Thermostats, relays, gaskets, compressors and regassing on Capri chest freezers are all done on site.
Are Capri fridges easy to get parts for?+
Yes. Capri uses standard refrigeration components and the brand is made in Harare, so parts are available quickly.
My Capri fridge is not cooling. Does it need gas?+
Only if there is a leak. A thermostat, a relay or a gasket is far more often the cause, and we test before recommending a regas.
