Load shedding can place significant stress on fridge components, especially when power cuts and surges occur repeatedly. Many fridge breakdowns in Durban happen immediately after power is restored, not during the outage itself.
Common fridge problems caused by load shedding:
Fridge not switching back on after power returns
Compressor clicking or humming but not starting
Fridge running but not cooling properly
Control board or relay damage due to power surges
Temperature fluctuations leading to food spoilage
Increased strain on older compressors
In some cases, fridges may appear to be running normally but fail to maintain correct temperatures due to electrical or control faults triggered by unstable power supply.
How we fix load shedding–related fridge faults
Our technicians are experienced in diagnosing power-related fridge issues common in Durban homes. We inspect electrical components, test start devices, assess compressor performance, and check cooling systems to restore safe and reliable operation.
Not every load shedding issue requires fridge regassing — accurate diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary repairs.
What to Do If Your Fridge Stops Working After Load Shedding
If your fridge is not working after load shedding in Durban, taking the right steps immediately can prevent further damage.
Switch the fridge off at the wall for 10–15 minutes after power returns
Avoid repeatedly restarting the fridge, as this can strain the compressor
Check if the fridge is running but not cooling (a common surge-related issue)
Keep the doors closed to preserve food temperature
Call a technician if the fridge does not restart or cool properly
Continuing to run a fridge with a power-related fault can lead to compressor damage and higher repair costs.
1. How much does fridge repair cost in Durban?
Fridge repair costs depend on the fault, parts required, and labour time. Minor issues are affordable, while sealed-system or compressor repairs cost more. A technician will confirm pricing after inspection.
2. Do you offer same-day fridge repairs in Durban?
Yes, same-day fridge repairs are available in most Durban areas, subject to availability and the type of fault.
3. Why is my fridge running but not cooling?
This can be caused by airflow problems, faulty fans, electrical issues, or control faults. It does not always mean the fridge needs regassing.
4. How do I know if my fridge needs regassing?
A fridge only needs regassing if refrigerant gas has leaked. Signs include poor cooling in both fridge and freezer and a compressor running continuously without cooling.
5. Is fridge regassing safe?
Yes. When performed by qualified technicians using the correct refrigerant and procedures, fridge regassing is safe and effective.
6. How long does fridge regassing last?
If leaks are properly repaired, regassing can last many years. Regassing without fixing leaks will not last.
7. Why is my fridge not working after load shedding?
Power surges when electricity returns can damage electrical components such as relays or control boards, preventing the fridge from restarting or cooling.
8. Can load shedding damage a fridge compressor?
Yes. Repeated power interruptions and voltage spikes can place strain on compressors, especially in older fridges.
9. Should I unplug my fridge during load shedding?
Unplugging your fridge or using a surge protector can help reduce the risk of electrical damage when power is restored.
10. How long does a fridge repair usually take?
Most fridge repairs can be completed within the same visit. Complex repairs may take longer if parts are required.
11. Is it worth repairing an old fridge?
Repairing is often worthwhile if the fridge is under 10 years old and the repair cost is reasonable compared to replacement.
12. What causes a fridge to trip the power?
Common causes include faulty compressors, damaged wiring, electrical shorts, or power surge damage.
13. Why is my freezer cold but the fridge warm?
This is usually caused by airflow or fan issues rather than gas loss. Cold air is not circulating properly to the fridge section.
14. What causes water to leak from a fridge?
Blocked drainage, damaged door seals, or ice build-up can cause water leaks inside or outside the fridge.
15. Why is my fridge making loud noises?
Unusual noises can come from fans, compressors, or loose components and should be checked before further damage occurs.
16. Do you repair commercial fridges in Durban?
Yes. We repair both residential and commercial fridges for homes, shops, restaurants, and businesses across Durban.
17. What fridge brands do you repair?
We repair most major fridge brands commonly used in South Africa, including single-door, double-door, and side-by-side models.
18. Do fridge repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Repairs are backed by a 6-month workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
19. Are your fridge repairs trusted by insurance companies?
Yes. Our repair services are trusted by insurance companies for appliance repair work.
20. How soon should I repair a fridge that’s not cooling?
As soon as possible. Delaying repairs can lead to food spoilage and further damage to components like the compressor.
21. Can a fridge be repaired if it won’t switch on?
Yes. Many no-power issues are caused by electrical or control faults that can be repaired.
22. Is it cheaper to repair or replace a fridge?
In most cases, repairing is cheaper than replacing, especially for newer fridges or minor to moderate faults.
23. Do you service all areas of Durban?
Yes. We provide fridge repairs across Durban and surrounding suburbs, including residential and commercial areas.
