Here’s what some of our happy customers have to say about their experience with Fridge Rescue

My Defy fridge stopped cooling right before the weekend, and I was stressing about all my food going off. I called Fridge Rescue, and they came out the same afternoon. The technician was friendly, explained everything clearly, and had it fixed in less than an hour. Very professional and affordable. Highly recommended for anyone in Bellville!

Janine Fourie – Bellville

These guys know what they’re doing. My Samsung double-door fridge wasn’t freezing properly, and another company said I needed a new compressor. Fridge Rescue checked it properly and found it was just a fan motor issue. Saved me a lot of money. Honest service like that is rare these days.

Morne Jacobs – Durbanville

I run a small butchery in Brackenfell and our cold room suddenly stopped cooling. Fridge Rescue responded within two hours and got everything running before the meat spoiled. Really impressed with their speed and professionalism. Proper five-star service.

Graham Petersen – Brackenfell

My fridge was leaking water all over the kitchen floor. I contacted Fridge Rescue through WhatsApp, and they replied almost instantly. The technician came the same morning, found the drain pipe was blocked, and sorted it out on the spot. Great local service, and very reasonably priced.

Michelle Daniels – Parow
