Thika is a busy town of homes, restaurants, shops and butcheries. Freezers, display fridges and cookers run for long hours, and when one fails the cost starts the same hour.
We come to Thika, Makongeni, Landless, Ngoingwa and Section 9. Visits are planned ahead, so call early with what the appliance is doing and where you are.
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.
