Bosch fridges and Kabete homes.
Bosch fridge freezers are often built into kitchen units, and freestanding models have electronic control panels. They use no-frost cooling, with a fan that moves cold air around the cabinet and an automatic defrost that clears the evaporator. Built-in fridges need correct airflow and door alignment to work properly.
Kabete has older and newer homes, offices and farms. Older homes often have fridges that need a thermostat or a seal, while newer homes have inverter fridges with control boards.
What we fix on Bosch fridges.
Door seal replacement
Built-in fridges sit in tight cabinets, so the door can rub or sag over time. A worn seal or a door out of line lets in warm, damp air. We adjust the door and fit a matching seal so it closes evenly all the way round.
Built-in fridge not level
A fridge built into a unit has to sit level or the door will not close flush. When the door drops, the seal stops meeting the cabinet. Levelling the feet is quick and often fixes both the seal and the frost problem.
Noise from the fan
A rattling or whining sound from the back usually means the fan is touching ice, has worn bearings, or is loose on its mount. We listen to the fridge and check the fan before replacing it.
What we see in Kabete kitchens.
Thermostat in older fridges
Years of use wear the thermostat. We test it with a meter and replace it if it does not switch correctly.
Hardened door seals
Aged seals lose their grip. A new seal and a door adjustment fix the frost and the wasted power.
Care that prevents a repair.
Keep the fridge clear of dust at the back and underneath. Built-in units are hard to reach, so plan a yearly clean with the technician during a service visit.
Clean the coil, check the seal, and use a voltage guard for inverter fridges.
Most Bosch faults are a fan, a defrost part, a seal or a connector, and those are repaired in one visit. A built-in unit that needs a new cabinet or a whole control module may be better replaced, and we will tell you the difference between the two options.

Questions people ask
Do you repair Bosch fridges in Kabete?
Yes. A technician from our team comes to your home in Kabete, Kiambu and repairs the Bosch fridge where it stands. Most repairs are finished in one visit.
How soon can you reach Kabete?
Often the same day for Kabete and nearby Uthiru. 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 Bosch service centre?
No. We are independent fridge technicians, not affiliated with Bosch. For a Bosch fridge still under the manufacturer warranty, contact the shop or Bosch first.
Do you have Bosch 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.
Choosing a fridge technician you can trust
A good technician explains the fault before changing parts. They test, tell you what failed and why, and give you the price before work starts. They show you the old part if you ask. They are honest when a repair does not make sense.
Be wary of anyone who names a fault over the phone without seeing the fridge, who insists on a gas refill without finding a leak or who will not give a price until the work is done. Ask whether the visit fee is separate and what it covers.
It also helps if the technician works on fridges every day. Fridges are a sealed cooling system with their own tools, gases and habits, and a general handyman may not have the equipment to vacuum and charge a system properly.
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.
