Haier fridges and Ruiru homes.
Haier fridges include double door models, side-by-side fridges and chest freezers, and many of the newer ones use inverter compressors. The inverter board controls how fast the compressor runs. That saves power, but it means a surge or a wiring fault can stop cooling even though the compressor itself is sound.
Ruiru has family homes, growing estates and a busy trading centre. Power is less steady in some parts, so start relays and control boards are among the most common repairs we do here.
What we fix on Haier fridges.
Chest freezer not freezing
A chest freezer that does not reach freezing needs its seal, thermostat and gas circuit checked. Stock in a chest freezer is at risk, so we prioritise these visits.
Inverter board repair
When an inverter fridge does not start or runs without cooling, the control board is a likely cause. We test the board, the wiring and the compressor separately. A board can sometimes be repaired, and where it cannot, we fit a matching replacement and test the full cooling cycle.
Not cooling in hot weather
A fridge that struggles in hot weather often has a dirty condenser, a weak fan or a door that is not sealing. We clean the condenser, check the fan and the seal, and test the temperature in a hot kitchen.
What we see in Ruiru kitchens.
Start relay failure
The relay gives the compressor the push it needs to start. When it fails the compressor hums, clicks and stays off. It is a small part, but fitting the wrong one can damage the compressor, so we match it to the model.
Board faults after outages
A fridge that will not start after a power cut, or that restarts again and again, often has a damaged board. We test the board before replacing it, because a loose connector is sometimes the real cause.
Care that prevents a repair.
Keep the condenser clean. Inverter compressors are sensitive to heat, so a dusty coil at the back shortens their life. Plan a yearly clean and keep the area behind the fridge clear.
Use a voltage guard and wait a few minutes after power returns before switching the fridge on, so the board and compressor start on a stable supply.
Inverter boards and dispensers can be repaired or replaced in one visit, which makes most Haier faults worth fixing. A fridge with a failed compressor and an old cabinet may be better replaced, and we tell you that honestly before any money is spent.

No. We are independent fridge technicians, not affiliated with Haier. For a Haier fridge still under the manufacturer warranty, contact the shop or Haier first.
Do you have Haier 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.
How to load a fridge so it cools better
Cold air has to move. Pack the shelves loosely enough that air can circulate, and never block the vents at the back or on the ceiling of the compartment. Keep the bulky items on the shelves and leave the door bins for things that tolerate warmth.
Raw meat and fish belong on the lowest shelf in sealed containers, so they cannot drip onto other food. Dairy and cooked food go in the middle. Fruit and vegetables belong in the drawers, where the humidity is higher.
Let hot food cool to room temperature before putting it in. Hot pots warm the fridge, force the compressor to work and bring in moisture that turns into frost. Cover liquids, because uncovered liquids add moisture to the air.
Cleaning the condenser coil
The condenser coil releases the heat the fridge removes from the food. On older fridges it is a grille on the back; on newer ones it may be a coil under the fridge behind a kick plate. Dust and kitchen grease form a blanket on it, which traps the heat.
Unplug the fridge before you start. Use a soft brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to lift the dust, then a damp cloth for grease. Clean the area around the compressor too, and remove dust from the fan if there is one. Do it every few months, or more often in a dusty kitchen.
A clean coil can make a noticeable difference in how long the compressor runs and how much power the fridge uses. It is one of the cheapest and most effective bits of maintenance you can do yourself.
How to tell if a door seal needs replacing
The door seal, or gasket, keeps warm air out. Over time it hardens, cracks or loses its magnetic grip. A bad seal causes frost, water inside, longer running and a higher bill.
Try the paper test: close the door on a sheet of paper and pull it out. If it slides out with no resistance, the seal is not gripping there. Test several points around the door. Look for splits, hardened sections and mould along the folds.
Wiping the seal with warm soapy water sometimes restores the grip, because grease and sugar stop it sealing. If cleaning does not help, the seal needs replacing. A new seal must be fitted straight, and the door adjusted so it closes evenly, or the new seal will not fix the problem.
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.
