Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria
Centurion sits between our Pretoria East and Midrand routes, so we're in the area most days. The suburb is a mix of established family homes in places like Eldoraigne and Lyttelton, newer security estates, and a lot of townhouse and apartment complexes near the highways and Centurion Mall.
Summer storms here regularly knock out the power, and appliances that fail at the moment the power returns are a big part of our Centurion work. Fridges, washing machines and inverter aircons are the most common casualties.
Protecting appliances from surges
Plug-in surge protectors on fridges, TVs and washing machines are cheap compared with a new compressor or control board. During storms or outages, unplug what you can and switch the rest back on one by one when the power returns.

Recent Centurion jobs
Bosch fridge showing E07: main control board replaced
The display on this Bosch NoFrost fridge-freezer was showing error E07. An error code can point to more than one part, so rather than guessing, our technicians traced the wiring loom and measured the resistance across several components, including in the freezer section, with a multimeter. Those tests led us to the main control board (PCB). We replaced the board, and the fridge came back to normal: -18 °C in the freezer and 4 °C in the fridge. Tip: a control board is a bigger repair, so it's worth testing the wiring and other components first to be sure the board really is the fault.
LG DirectDrive washing machine not spinning: motor replaced
The machine was washing but wouldn't spin. LG direct-drive machines have no belt: the motor is mounted straight onto the drum, and the control board reads a rotor position sensor to know how to drive it. We tested the motor, the rotor position sensor and the stator, and found the motor itself had failed. We replaced the complete direct-drive motor, then tested the machine on a spin cycle. Tip: if your washing machine washes but won't spin, check for an unbalanced load or a blocked drain filter first. If those are fine, it needs testing.
Logik split aircon installed
A new Logik split aircon installation in Centurion. We mounted the outdoor unit on wall brackets beside the window and ran the pipework and cabling down the wall in neat white trunking, so the installation looks tidy from outside. The system was pressure-tested and vacuumed before the gas was released, then tested on cooling. Like every aircon we install, it gets a free service six months later.
Samsung fridge stopping after an hour: faulty defrost thermal fuse
This Samsung fridge would run for about an hour, then stop when the compressor switched off, and it wouldn't start again unless the customer switched it off and on at the wall. We took it into our workshop to diagnose it properly. The fault was a failed thermal fuse in the defrost system. With that fuse open, the defrost system couldn't do its job, and the fridge got stuck instead of restarting on its own. We replaced the thermal fuse and the fridge worked very well again. Tip: a fridge that only comes back to life after a power reset usually has a defrost or control fault, not a dead compressor, so it's worth diagnosing before replacing the fridge.
Centurion: estates, complexes and family homes
Centurion sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria, from older suburbs like Lyttelton and Eldoraigne to the big estates around Irene and the Highveld area. It's a large, varied area, and we cover all of it.
What the variety means for repairs:
- Older suburbs: long-serving appliances, freestanding stoves and top-loaders, and older homes with aircons added over the years.
- Estates: modern inverter fridges and aircons, and front-loaders with error codes. Gate registration is needed, so book with your estate's access details.
- Complexes: compact kitchens and laundries, and aircon outdoor units on balconies or roofs.
Centurion summers are hot, and aircons run long hours. Our busiest season here is October to March, so book your aircon service early, before the queue builds. In winter, it shifts to ovens, stoves, tumble dryers and aircons that won't heat.
Centurion is close to the N1 and N14, which makes it easy to reach from both Johannesburg and Pretoria.
