Hisense fridge repairs in Pretoria
In Pretoria, garage fridges, lapa bar fridges and chest freezers are everywhere, and they all struggle when the summer heat arrives. Clear dust from the condenser before November and you'll avoid many of our busiest-season call-outs.
About Hisense fridges
Hisense bar fridges and smaller models often use a static cold plate that frosts up and needs defrosting by hand. That's where we see avoidable damage. In Moreleta Park, a bar fridge's cold plate was punctured by a knife during defrosting, and the gas leaked out.
Hisense fridge faults we fix
Fridge warm, freezer fine
On frost-free models, a stopped fan or iced-up evaporator.
Thick ice on the cold plate
A worn door seal or a thermostat set too cold makes frost build quickly.
Runs all the time
A dusty condenser, poor ventilation or low gas.
Never chip ice with a knife
It takes seconds to puncture a cold plate, and then the gas is gone. Switch the fridge off and let the ice melt on its own. A bowl of warm water inside speeds it up.

A recent Hisense fridge job in Pretoria
Hisense bar fridge leaking gas after a knife was used to defrost it
Moreleta Park, Pretoria East · Hisense bar fridge · Fixed: new cold plate installed
The bar fridge had stopped cooling. While defrosting it, the owner had chipped at the ice with a knife and punctured the cold plate, the metal panel that carries the refrigerant gas. The gas leaked out through the hole, so the fridge could no longer get cold. We installed a new cold plate and the fridge is cooling again. Tip: never use a knife or sharp tool on ice inside a fridge or freezer. Switch it off, leave the door open with a towel underneath, and let the ice melt on its own. A bowl of warm water inside speeds it up.
