Welkom Appliance Repairs company overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welkom Appliance Repairs is a locally owned and operated appliance repair service based at 25 Celuta Place, Riebeeckstad, Welkom. With more than four decades of hands-on repair experience behind the business, we’ve built our reputation one fixed appliance at a time \u2014 serving families, landlords, guesthouses, and small businesses across the Free State goldfields.<\/p>\n

We’re not a national call centre routing your job to whoever happens to be available. We’re the same small, dedicated team Welkom has trusted for over 40 years. When you phone us, a real local person answers. When a technician walks through your door, it’s someone who knows this town, its homes, and very likely your neighbours’ appliances too.<\/p>\n

Our founding principle is simple: deliver fast, honest, and affordable repairs while treating every client with genuine care. Quality service, for us, goes beyond swapping a part \u2014 it’s about building long-term trust and giving households real peace of mind.<\/p>\n

What We Repair<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decades on the tools means our technicians have encountered virtually every fault a domestic or light-commercial appliance can throw at them.<\/p>\n

Laundry<\/strong>
\n– Washing Machines<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Top-loaders and front-loaders, mechanical or electronic. Drainage faults, drum bearing wear, door lock and seal failures, unbalanced-load errors, and modern control-board fault codes.
\n– Tumble Dryers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Vented and condenser models. Heating element failures, thermostat issues, worn belts, motor faults, and overheating\/tripping problems.<\/p>\n

Cooking<\/strong>
\n– Ovens & Stoves<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Electric and gas, built-in and freestanding. Heating element replacements, thermostat calibration, gas ignition faults, and unresponsive control panels.
\n– Dishwashers<\/strong> \u2013 Spray-arm blockages, pump and drainage faults, door seal failures, fill issues, and electronic control problems.<\/p>\n

Cooling<\/strong>
\n– Fridges & Freezers<\/strong>** \u2013 Compressor, thermostat, gas-charge, door-seal, and control-board diagnostics on domestic and larger commercial units. Refrigeration breakdowns spoil food quickly, so we prioritise these callouts.<\/p>\n

When to Call<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spotting a fault early usually means a simpler, more affordable fix. Reach out if you notice any of the following warning signs:<\/p>\n

– Fridge \/ Freezer:<\/strong>\u00a0Food not staying cold, unusual buzzing or clicking, excessive ice build-up, or water pooling underneath the unit.
\n– Washing Machine:<\/strong>\u00a0The machine won\u2019t drain or spin, it is leaking, there is unusual banging during the spin cycle, or the door won\u2019t lock.
\n– Tumble Dryer:<\/strong>\u00a0Clothes come out damp or still hot to the touch, you notice a burning smell, or the drum is not tumbling at all.
\n– Dishwasher:<\/strong>\u00a0Dishes are still dirty or gritty after a cycle, there is standing water at the end of a wash, or the door isn’t sealing properly.
\n– Oven \/ Stove:<\/strong>\u00a0You experience uneven cooking, a heating element that won\u2019t glow, a gas burner that won\u2019t ignite, or a control panel that isn\u2019t responding.
\n– Any Appliance:<\/strong>\u00a0A fault code is flashing on the display. (Check our fault code guide or call us directly).<\/p>\n
