Ruiru town is one of the busiest areas we cover, from the matatu stage and CBD through to Kimbo, Membley, and the estates lining the Eastern Bypass.

1. Fridge & Freezer Repair
A warm fridge is one of the most common calls we get from Ruiru households — usually down to a failing compressor or a refrigerant leak. We diagnose on-site and carry common spares. See our Fridge & Freezer Repair page for pricing and full details.
2. Washing Machine Repair
From front-loaders in Ruiru apartments to older top-loaders in Kimbo, we repair washing machines that won’t spin, drain, or complete a cycle. See our Washing Machine Repair page for pricing and full details.
3. Cooker & Oven Repair
Gas and electric cookers both feature in our Ruiru call log — faulty ignition and heating elements are the usual culprits. See our Cooker & Oven Repair page for pricing and full details.
4. Microwave Repair
Sparking, dead, or unevenly heating microwaves are a quick fix for most Ruiru households — often a magnetron or waveguide cover replacement. See our Microwave Repair page for pricing and full details.
5. Water Dispenser Repair
Office and home water dispensers across Ruiru come in for thermostat and compressor faults; we service both hot and cold sides. See our Water Dispenser Repair page for pricing and full details.
6. Dryer Repair
Dryers that run but don’t heat, or take far longer than they should, are common in Ruiru’s larger households and are usually a vent blockage or element fault. See our Dryer Repair page for pricing and full details.
7. Dishwasher Repair
Newer Ruiru estates increasingly have built-in dishwashers — we fix drainage, spray arm, and pump issues. See our Dishwasher Repair page for pricing and full details.
| Shred Tip If your fridge is running but not cooling, check that it’s not pushed flush against the wall first — blocked condenser coils are one of the most common (and cheapest to fix) causes we see in Ruiru homes. |
Beyond appliance repair, we also serve Ruiru with HVAC installation, AC repair, and car AC servicing.
