Beko fridges and Kiambu homes.
Beko makes fridge freezers, chest freezers and a range of frost-free models that are common in Nairobi homes. Frost-free fridges use a fan and a defrost system to keep ice off the cooling parts, and many have a separate freezer section at the top or the bottom.
Kiambu town has homes, shops and small businesses. Fridges are used hard, and in damp kitchens moisture can corrode plugs, boards and connections.
What we fix on Beko fridges.
Ice build-up that comes back
A frost-free fridge should not grow ice on the back wall. When it does, the defrost heater, the sensor or the timer has failed, or warm air is getting in past the seal. We test the parts in order and replace the one that is faulty.
Sensor faults
A sensor that reads the wrong temperature will confuse the control, which can keep the fridge too warm or freeze the food. We test the sensor with a meter and check the reading against the actual temperature.
Fan replacement
The fan moves cold air from the freezer into the fridge. A worn motor or a fan blocked with ice reduces the airflow and makes the fridge side warm. Replacing the fan is a single-part job, and it is often needed on older Beko units.
What we see in Kiambu kitchens.
Seals and fans worn by heavy use
A seal that no longer grips and a fan that slows both weaken the cooling. They are quick repairs and make an immediate difference.
Corroded connections
Moisture damages plugs and board connectors. We clean the contacts or replace the damaged parts, and advise on keeping the fridge dry.
Care that prevents a repair.
Clear the drain hole at the back of the freezer every few months, so melted frost can run away. Wipe up any water under the drawers at once, since it can stain the floor and attract pests.
Keep the fridge dry and clean, check the seal with a sheet of paper, and leave a gap behind it for air.
Most Beko faults are sensors, fans or seals, which are repaired in a single visit. A frost-free fridge with a failed sealed system that is more than a decade old may be better replaced, and we give you the cost comparison before deciding.

Questions people ask
Do you repair Beko fridges in Kiambu?
Yes. A technician from our team comes to your home in Kiambu and repairs the Beko fridge where it stands. Most repairs are finished in one visit.
How soon can you reach Kiambu?
Often the same day for Kiambu and nearby Kiambu Town. Call or WhatsApp 0703 543 656 early in the day and we tell you the earliest time a technician can reach you.
Are you the official Beko service centre?
No. We are independent fridge technicians, not affiliated with Beko. For a Beko fridge still under the manufacturer warranty, contact the shop or Beko first.
Do you have Beko fridge spare parts?
We source the right part for your model. Send a photo of the rating plate inside the fridge (brand, model number, gas type) before we come so we can check.
Good to know about your fridge.
Moving a fridge without damaging it
Whenever possible, keep a fridge upright. The compressor oil sits in a defined place, and laying the fridge down can let it run into the pipes. If a fridge has to travel on its side, let it stand upright for several hours before you switch it on again.
Empty it and defrost the freezer the day before, so no water leaks on the way out. Secure the doors with tape and protect the corners. Plan the route, because large fridges are heavy and awkward on stairs, so tell your movers the size and the floor.
Level the fridge in its new position, leave a gap behind and above it and wait a short time before switching it on. We also help with installation and relocation, including bringing in a new fridge and removing the old one.
Saving power with the fridge you already have
A fridge runs all day and every day, so small improvements add up. Set the fridge between about three and five degrees and the freezer at minus eighteen. Colder settings use more power without protecting the food any better.
Keep the condenser clean, leave air space around the fridge and keep it away from the cooker and direct sun. Check the door seal and do not leave the door open while you decide what to eat.
A full fridge holds its cold better than an empty one, so a few bottles of water on the shelves help in a fridge that is mostly empty. Do not overpack it, though, because the air must still move. If a fridge is very old and the compressor is struggling, a replacement may repay itself in power, and we will tell you honestly if that applies.
Inverter fridges explained
A traditional compressor switches fully on and fully off. An inverter compressor changes its speed to suit the cooling needed. It runs slowly most of the time, which is quieter and uses less power, and it speeds up when the fridge needs to cool down.
To do that it needs a control board, called the inverter board, that converts the power and drives the compressor. The board is the weak point, because it dislikes surges and heat. When a board fails, the compressor does not start, even though the compressor itself may be fine.
That is why we test the board, the wiring and the compressor separately. A board can sometimes be repaired and sometimes needs replacing with a matching part. A voltage guard and a clean condenser are the best protection for an inverter fridge.
What happens on a visit
You call or WhatsApp us with what the fridge is doing and a photo of the model sticker. We tell you when a technician can come and how the visit fee works. The technician arrives, listens to the fridge, measures the temperature in both sections and checks the obvious causes in order.
When the fault is found, you are told what it is, shown the worn part where possible and given the full price for parts and labour before anything is changed. Nothing is done without your agreement. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you how long it will take.
After the repair, the fridge is left running and checked to confirm it is pulling down to temperature. Before we leave, we explain what failed and how to avoid it next time. If the fridge is not worth repairing, we say so, and we can collect an old fridge for responsible recycling.
