Hisense fridges and Thika homes.
Hisense fridges are sold widely because they are affordable. The range includes double door fridges, single door fridges, side-by-side models and chest freezers. Many of the newer models use inverter compressors, and older models use a simple thermostat and compressor without a board.
Thika is a busy town of homes, restaurants, shops and butcheries. Chest freezers and display fridges are everywhere, and when one fails the stock is at risk the same hour, so we treat these calls as urgent.
What we fix on Hisense fridges.
Thermostat and sensor faults
A thermostat that reads the temperature wrong will stop the compressor too early or keep it running too long. A failed sensor gives the same symptoms. We test the thermostat with a meter and replace it if it does not respond correctly. It is a small part and often a quick job.
Worn door seals
A torn or hardened seal lets warm air in, which frosts the freezer and makes the compressor work harder. Close the door on a sheet of paper: if the paper slides out easily, the seal needs attention. Replacing it on a Hisense is straightforward, and the door must sit square when it is fitted.
Gas leaks on older models
Older fridges can develop leaks at their joints and at the condenser. A fridge that runs all the time but stays warm is a common sign. We find and seal the leak before adding gas. A refill without a repair does not last.
What we see in Thika kitchens.
Home fridge not cooling
The freezer is cold but the fridge side is warm: the usual cause is a blocked air channel, a stopped fan or a dirty condenser, not low gas.
Compressor start problems
A compressor that hums without starting needs the start relay and overload tested. We explain the cost before any work starts.
Care that prevents a repair.
Keep the back of the fridge and the condenser clean. Dust reduces cooling and raises the power bill. Place the fridge away from the cooker and out of direct sun, so it does not work harder than it needs to.
In a shop, clean the condenser monthly, check seals weekly with a sheet of paper, and do not overpack the cooler. Cold air needs space to move.
Hisense fridges are cheap to buy, so the balance is different. If a repair costs more than a few months of the fridge's running cost, or if the cabinet is damaged or the compressor has failed, replacing it may make more sense. We are honest about that before any work starts.

Questions people ask
Do you repair Hisense fridges in Thika?
Yes. A technician from our team comes to your home in Thika, Kiambu and repairs the Hisense fridge where it stands. Most repairs are finished in one visit.
How soon can you reach Thika?
Often the same day for Thika and nearby Makongeni. 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 Hisense service centre?
No. We are independent fridge technicians, not affiliated with Hisense. For a Hisense fridge still under the manufacturer warranty, contact the shop or Hisense first.
Do you have Hisense 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.
Protecting a fridge from power cuts and surges
Power cuts and surges are hard on fridges. When the supply returns it can arrive with a spike that damages the control board or the parts that start the compressor. Inverter fridges are the most sensitive, because a board sits between the plug and the compressor.
A good voltage guard, also called a fridge guard, delays the power coming back for a few minutes and cuts it if the voltage is too high or too low. It costs far less than a board repair. Choose one rated for the fridge, plug the fridge into it directly and avoid sharing the socket with a heater or an iron.
After any outage, wait a few minutes before switching the fridge on if you do not have a guard. Keep the door closed during the cut. A full fridge holds its cold for several hours if it is not opened, and a full freezer holds it for longer. Do not keep switching the fridge off and on at the wall; it puts strain on the compressor.
Food safety when a fridge stops cooling
Bacteria multiply quickly above about five degrees. If the fridge side is warm, move milk, meat, fish and cooked food to the freezer or a cool box with ice, and keep the door closed as much as you can. If the freezer is still frozen, do not open it more than you need to.
As a rule of thumb, fresh meat, fish, dairy and cooked leftovers should not stay in a warm fridge for more than a few hours. Food that has thawed and warmed should not be refrozen if it has been warm for long. When in doubt, throw it out: a repair is cheaper than being ill.
Medicines that need refrigeration should be moved to a cool box and kept as cold as the label asks. If you are not sure whether something is still safe, check the instructions on the packaging or ask a pharmacist.
Why gas is rarely the first thing we check
Many people ask for a gas refill as soon as a fridge stops cooling. In practice, a fridge uses no gas. It circulates the same sealed charge for its whole life. If the charge is low, the fridge has a leak, and a refill without finding the leak means paying again in a few weeks.
Most cooling faults are something else: a blocked air channel, a stopped fan, a dirty condenser, a failed defrost heater, a worn door seal, a start relay, a thermostat or a board. These are found with a few tests, and they are usually cheaper to put right than a gas job.
When the tests point to a leak, we find it first, usually at a joint, a pipe that has rubbed or a corroded coil, repair it, pull a vacuum to remove air and moisture and then charge the exact gas the fridge was built for, by weight. That is the only way a gas job lasts.
