Fridge Running But Not Cooling – Mooikloof Repairs

When the compressor runs continuously but the cabinet stays warm, the system is moving no heat. That points to refrigerant loss, a restriction in the capillary, an evaporator iced solid, or a compressor still turning but no longer pumping. All four are confirmed with gauges, not guesswork.

Symptoms we fix

  • Compressor never switching off
  • Back panel warm, evaporator only partly frosted
  • Higher electricity usage
  • Freezer partially cold at the inlet only
  • Oily film near the pipework

How we diagnose and repair it

  • Suction and discharge pressures measured
  • Frost-pattern analysis across the evaporator
  • Capillary restriction test
  • Compressor pumping performance verified
  • Leak repair, vacuum and weighed recharge if needed

What Mooikloof & Pretoria East clients say

"Our Liebherr side-by-side stopped cooling on a Saturday. They cleared the gate with security, arrived within two hours and replaced the fan motor on site. Absolutely professional."
Anél v.d. Merwe — Mooikloof Ridge
"Integrated Gaggenau unit — I was worried about the cabinetry. They removed it cleanly, regassed, pressure tested and refitted it perfectly. Fair quote, no surprises."
Riaan Botha — Woodhill Golf Estate
"Our under-counter prep fridge failed during service. Reyds attended after hours and saved the entire night's stock. They now handle all our maintenance."
Chef Dumi M. — Menlyn Maine restaurant
"Freezer was building up ice constantly. They found a failed defrost element instead of just selling me a new fridge. Six months later, still perfect."
Susan Kruger — Faerie Glen
