Drum bearing failure, drainage blockages, motor faults, door seal leaks, control board issues and spin cycle problems, across front and top loaders.
A washing machine that won't spin, a fridge that's stopped cooling, a cooker with a faulty ignition — this guide covers what to expect from a repair visit, what it costs, and how to get matched with a vetted technician near you.
Most household breakdowns are more minor than they look. A technician's first job is diagnosis — working out whether you're dealing with a blocked filter, a worn belt, or something that genuinely needs a new part, before any work or cost is agreed.
A technician inspects the unit, tests it, and identifies the fault before quoting — so you know what's actually wrong before agreeing to anything.
You get a clear price for parts and labour before work starts. This is the single biggest protection you have as a customer.
The fault is fixed using genuine or OEM-equivalent parts, and the work is backed by a 30–90 day warranty on parts and labour.
Most "breakdowns" seen in Nairobi homes are minor — a blocked filter, a worn belt, a tripped thermostat — and cost a fraction of a replacement to fix when caught early.
From a washer that won't drain to a fridge running warm, here's what's typically covered and the faults each one tends to bring.

Drum bearing failure, drainage blockages, motor faults, door seal leaks, control board issues and spin cycle problems, across front and top loaders.

Compressor failure, refrigerant leaks and recharging, thermostat faults, ice maker issues and water dispenser problems, including commercial cold rooms.

Burner ignition faults, thermostat calibration, heating element replacement, door seals and control panel issues, gas or electric, all brands.

Screen damage, backlight failure, power supply faults, HDMI issues and motherboard problems on LCD, LED, OLED and smart TVs.

Magnetron replacement, turntable motor failure, door switch faults, and control panel or power supply issues, countertop and built-in.

Drainage faults, heating elements, spray arm blockages and door latch problems, plus water dispensers and most other household electricals.
Four reasons a certified technician usually beats a DIY fix or an early replacement.
Most faults are diagnosed and fixed in one visit, minimising the time you're without a working appliance.
Parts are manufacturer-grade or OEM-equivalent, with 30–90 days of warranty backing the work.
Samsung, LG, Bosch, Hotpoint, Whirlpool, Ramtons, Hisense and more, across every common household appliance.
A repair typically costs 20–50% of a replacement's price, extending the appliance's life and cutting waste.

Everything worth knowing before you book.

Yes. Home visits are standard for washing machines, fridges and cookers. Small items like microwaves can sometimes be dropped at a workshop instead. A call-out fee may apply depending on your location.
Common faults are usually fixed in one to four hours. Repairs needing an ordered part can take one to three days. Same-day visits are widely available if you book early in the day.
A reputable technician will offer 30 to 90 days of warranty on parts and labour. Ask for this in writing before work begins.
Repair if the cost is under half the price of a new unit and the appliance is less than half way through its expected lifespan. Replacement usually makes more sense past ten years old, or if it needs frequent call-outs.
