Evaporator Repairs Johannesburg

The evaporator is where cooling actually happens. A failed evaporator fan, a split coil or a faulty defrost heater all produce the same symptom — poor cooling — but need very different repairs.

Fault Symptoms
  • [01]Reduced cooling
  • [02]Ice on part of the coil only
  • [03]No airflow from evaporator
  • [04]Defrost not clearing
Possible Causes
  • [01]Fan motor failure
  • [02]Coil leak or damage
  • [03]Defrost heater failure
  • [04]Blocked airflow
Professional Diagnostic Process

We inspect the coil, fans, heaters and airflow path to isolate which evaporator component has failed.

Repair Process

We repair or replace fans, heaters and damaged coil sections, then verify defrost and airflow are restored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only part of my evaporator is frosting — why?

Partial frost usually indicates a refrigerant distribution or charge problem, or a restricted expansion device.

Can a leaking evaporator coil be repaired?

Small leaks can be repaired; severely corroded coils are replaced. We advise based on condition.

My evaporator fan stopped — is that urgent?

Yes. Without airflow the coil ices rapidly and cooling stops — call immediately.
