Use the channel that is most practical for your request. WhatsApp is useful for sending model labels, controller displays, error codes and photographs. Phone calls are useful where electrical safety or commercial stock risk requires quick explanation.
Information to include in your message
- Your name and best contact number.
- The exact Durban suburb or service location.
- The appliance or equipment type.
- The brand and complete model number.
- A clear description of the symptoms.
- The current temperature where available.
- Any error code or controller alarm.
- Recent power interruptions or previous repairs.
- Photographs of the appliance and data plate.
- Access, parking, gate or building instructions.
Domestic refrigerator booking information
Tell us whether the fridge is completely warm, cooling weakly, freezing food, leaking water, making noise, tripping electricity or clicking without starting. Explain whether the freezer section remains cold and whether fans or lights are working.
Keep the model label available. It may be inside the cabinet, behind a drawer, on the door frame or at the rear.
Commercial refrigeration booking information
Businesses should provide the current and set temperatures, controller display, alarm code, equipment duty, product type, stock at risk, time of failure and whether backup refrigeration is available.
For cold rooms and freezer rooms, send photographs of the controller, evaporator, condensing unit and data plates where safely accessible. Do not remove electrical covers merely to take a photograph.
Access information that prevents delays
Apartment buildings, estates, office parks, hotels and industrial sites may require security clearance, gate codes, loading access, induction or an authorised onsite contact. Include these details before attendance.
Tell us if the appliance is built into cabinetry, positioned upstairs, located in a basement or installed in a restricted plant area.
Urgent electrical warning signs
Switch the equipment off where it repeatedly trips electricity, smells burnt, smokes, leaks onto electrical parts or overheats severely. Do not reset breakers repeatedly or continue operating an appliance that presents an electrical hazard.
Where several appliances or lights are behaving abnormally, the building electrical supply may also require assessment by a qualified electrician.
Protecting food and commercial stock
Keep fridge and freezer doors closed, record the time the fault began and move high-risk products to functioning refrigeration where possible. Follow appropriate food-safety or product-storage procedures.
Do not rely on smell, appearance or touch alone when temperature control has been lost.
What happens after you contact us
- We review the information. We identify the appliance and likely service category.
- We request missing details. Model, location or access information may be needed.
- We arrange service. Timing depends on location, workload and technician availability.
- We diagnose the equipment. We inspect systems connected to the reported fault.
- We explain the options. We discuss parts, repair work and cost factors.
- We proceed after agreement. Repairs begin after the recommendation is understood.
What we do not promise before diagnosis
We do not promise that every appliance can be repaired, that every part is immediately available or that every fault will be completed on the first visit. Model-specific sourcing and extended testing may be required.
We also do not assume that a warm fridge requires gas. Airflow, controls, doors, fans, compressor condition and leak evidence must be assessed.
Form and email delivery note
The website form is configured to forward requests to the business recipients. However, live email delivery depends on the hosting server, mail routing and account status. Successful SMTP or mailbox delivery should be verified after deployment.
Where a form confirmation is not received, use the listed telephone, WhatsApp or direct email details.
Service areas
We cover Durban and the locations listed on our service areas page. Use the closest relevant location page for local access and service information.

How to describe cooling problems clearly
Instead of writing only “not working,” explain whether the appliance is completely warm, partly cold, icing, leaking, noisy, tripping or failing to start. Mention which compartment is affected and whether the problem is constant or intermittent.
For example, “freezer remains cold but fridge section is warm” points toward a different diagnostic path from “both sections are warm and the compressor clicks.” Detailed descriptions help us prepare without pretending to confirm the fault remotely.
How to photograph the appliance safely
Take one full photograph of the appliance, one of the model label and one of any visible error, ice or water. Commercial customers can also photograph the controller and condensing unit where safely accessible.
Do not pull out heavy built-in equipment alone, remove live panels or climb into restricted plant areas. A missing photograph is safer than creating an injury or damaging the system.
When telephone contact is more appropriate
Call where the appliance is tripping electricity, smoking, producing a burning smell or placing large commercial stock at immediate risk. Telephone discussion can help communicate safety and operational details more efficiently than a short form entry.
Calling does not guarantee instant attendance, but it allows the nature of the risk to be understood clearly.
When WhatsApp is useful
WhatsApp is suitable for photographs, model labels, controller displays, videos of noise and location pins. Keep the message organised and include your name, suburb and appliance type at the beginning.
Do not send multiple unrelated messages without identifying the service request, because this can make the information difficult to match.
When email is useful
Email is useful for businesses sending service histories, several photographs, access requirements or formal booking information. Use a clear subject line identifying the equipment and location.
How we handle incomplete enquiries
Where the model, location or symptoms are missing, we may request clarification before arranging the correct service. This is not an unnecessary delay; it helps prevent the wrong technician preparation or repair category.
Protecting your privacy in messages
Send only the property and contact information necessary for service. Do not include banking passwords, identity documents or unrelated private records. Gate or access information should be shared only through the booking channel being used for the appointment.
What to do after submitting the form
Keep your telephone available and retain the appliance photographs. Where no confirmation is received, use the direct phone, WhatsApp or email options. Form configuration alone does not prove successful delivery through the hosting mail server.
