FixFast LLC repairs fridges, freezers and chillers across Dubai. Certified technicians, genuine parts, warranty on every job. Book in the morning, cooling back by evening — starting from AED 149.
FixFast LLC is a Dubai-based appliance repair company. For the last 15+ years we have shown up at doorsteps across the emirate whenever a fridge stops cooling, a freezer starts frosting up, or a compressor gives out at the worst possible time. Our engineers are licensed, trained on all major brands, and carry the common spare parts in their service vans, which means most jobs finish in a single visit.
If you are searching for fridge repair Dubai, refrigerator technician near me, or a same-day repair after a breakdown, this page tells you exactly what we fix, what it usually costs, and how to book us in under two minutes.
Our team is set up to handle the full range of refrigerator faults — from a fridge that has quietly stopped cooling overnight to a commercial chiller failing in the middle of a dinner service. Here is what we cover most often.
Fast fault-finding on thermostats, sensors, evaporator fans and airflow blocks. We test before we replace anything.
Frost buildup, defrost heater faults, freezer not freezing, ice packed against the back panel — all sorted.
Noisy compressor, hot compressor, or fridge that stops after a few minutes. We repair or replace using OEM parts.
Leak detection and safe refill for R134a, R600a and R290. Correct pressure, proper seal, real cold air back.
Torn or warped gaskets let cold air escape and push up your DEWA bill. Replacement takes under an hour.
Display fridges, walk-in coolers, undercounter units and back-of-house chillers for restaurants and cafés.
Most fridge failures do not happen overnight. There is usually a warning sign a week or two before the appliance gives up completely, and knowing what to listen and look for saves you a bin full of spoiled groceries. Here are the faults our technicians see most often in Dubai homes, and what is usually causing them.
This is the most common call we get. The fridge is humming, the light comes on, but the milk went off overnight. Nine times out of ten it is one of three things: the condenser coils at the back are caked in dust and cannot release heat, the evaporator fan behind the freezer wall has stopped spinning, or the thermostat has drifted out of calibration. A technician can rule all three out inside twenty minutes with a multimeter and an infrared thermometer. If the compressor itself is the problem you will usually hear a clicking sound every few minutes as the start relay trips.
If you keep mopping up water from under the unit, the defrost drain line at the back of the freezer is blocked. Ice melts during the defrost cycle, cannot drain away, and eventually spills over. Sometimes the fix is as simple as flushing the drain with warm water; other times a piece of the water inlet valve has cracked and needs replacing. Do not ignore this one. Standing water damages the flooring in Dubai apartments quickly, and your building management will not be sympathetic.
A block of ice growing on the back wall of the freezer, or frost creeping around the door frame, points to a defrost heater failure or a door seal that has stopped sealing. On side-by-side units, Samsung Twin Cooling and LG Door-in-Door models in particular, we also see ice forming inside the ice maker chute because a small door flap gets stuck open. The fix depends on the model, but the diagnosis is quick.
A steady low hum is normal. A rattling drone that gets louder every few days is not. Rattles usually come from a condenser fan blade catching on something or from a compressor mount that has come loose. Both are cheap to fix if you catch them early. Ignore the noise for a month and you might be replacing the compressor itself, which is the most expensive part in the unit.
Before you call anyone, check the plug and the breaker. Genuinely, half the "dead fridge" calls we get are solved at the socket. If power is fine and the interior light is still off, the problem is usually a failed start relay, a burned-out overload protector, or a fault in the main control board. These parts are inexpensive, but you need someone with proper testing equipment to identify which one has actually gone rather than replacing them all in hope. That is where our diagnostic-first approach saves you money.
Same-day slots available across Dubai. Free diagnosis on confirmed jobs.
Every brand sold in the UAE has its own quirks. Samsung fridges tend to have ice-maker issues, LG compressors are famously long-lived but their control boards are fussy, Bosch and Siemens share parts across models. Our technicians are trained on all of them.
We repair every major refrigerator brand sold in the UAE.
The honest answer is: it depends on what has actually broken. That said, after 15 years fixing fridges in Dubai we can give you a realistic ballpark before we even walk through your door. The prices below reflect what we and most reputable Dubai repair firms charge in 2026, and we always confirm the exact number with you before starting any work.
Free with any confirmed repair. Charged only if you decline to proceed after the technician has quoted.
Thermostat swap, gasket replacement, drain clearing, fan motor repair, sensor replacement.
Leak detection, safe refill of R134a / R600a / R290, pressure test, hygiene wipe-down of coils.
Compressor replacement, electronic control board, defrost heater, evaporator system.
A few things worth knowing before you book anyone in Dubai. First, be wary of quotes given over the phone before a technician has actually seen the fridge. Nobody can accurately price a compressor job blind, and the ones who try usually either underquote and add charges later or overquote to keep themselves safe. Second, insist on genuine or OEM-equivalent parts. Fake compressors from the grey market are common in the UAE, they fail inside six months, and you end up paying twice for the same job. Third, ask about the warranty in writing. We provide a 90-day warranty on labour and up to a year on replacement parts, and the terms are printed on the invoice we hand you before we leave the site.
What actually affects the final price. The main variables are the specific fault, the brand of the fridge, and whether the part needs to be sourced. A thermostat swap on a Samsung takes twenty minutes and costs the same as a takeaway meal. A control board on a built-in Bosch, on the other hand, sometimes has to be ordered in from the distributor and can take two days to arrive. We tell you the honest timeline before we start, not after we have already opened the appliance and left you without a working fridge.
When repair is not worth it. There is a point where fixing an old fridge stops making sense. Our rule of thumb, and it is the same one most technicians in Dubai use, is this: if the repair quote comes to more than half the price of a new equivalent unit, and the fridge is already past ten years old, replacement is the smarter call. A new inverter-compressor fridge will pay back the difference in DEWA savings within about eighteen months for a typical Dubai household. If the fridge is under seven years old and the fault is straightforward, repair is almost always the better choice — modern fridges are built to last 12 to 15 years with proper maintenance.
We will tell you honestly which side of that line your fridge sits on. We have turned down repair jobs before because we did not think it was fair to charge the customer, and that reputation is why people keep calling us back when they buy their next fridge and want it installed properly.

"My LG side-by-side stopped cooling on a Friday morning. FixFast reached me by lunchtime, diagnosed a faulty fan motor, replaced it, and the fridge was back to normal by 4 PM. Fair price, no drama."
"Our restaurant display chiller failed during dinner service. Their technician was here in under two hours, sealed a gas leak on the spot, and refilled the system. Cooling was back before we ran out of stock. Saved us thousands."
"Booked them for a Samsung fridge that was making a loud rattling noise. They showed me the loose compressor mount, tightened and rebalanced it in twenty minutes, and did not try to sell me a compressor I did not need. Honest people, will use again."
