Fridge repairs CPT

[saor]

Any recommendations for someone in Cape Town (southern suburbs) to inspect and possibly fix a fridge? Fridge compartment is freezing stuff. Can't see any obvious breaks in the seal or anything. It's a basic Defy fridge almost like this:

(Not sure if it's worth repairing these if the callout + parts etc. is gonna be almost half the cost of a new one?)

Claremont Home Appliance can send a technician.

Unless it's something simple like a thermostat, the answer is always negative.

I'll pm you someone's number.

Don't want to just throw his number out in public.

It sounds like a thermostat if its freezing, that would mean it doesnt shut down the compressor and its running constantly.

The symptom may produce the same effect, but the underlying issue may be a refrigerant leak. Budget two door fridge/freezers only have one compressor, so it will keep running forever to try to reach -20C in the freezer.
