FAQ

Can the fridge be repaired on the same day?

Availability and parts depend on the brand, model and confirmed fault. Send the details first and we will confirm the earliest available slot in writing.

Which fridge brands can you assess?

Send the brand and model number first. Common mainstream models can usually be assessed, while parts availability varies by model. FixMove is an independent service provider.

What is the fee if no repair is done?

An indicative diagnostic visit is S$60. A waiver may apply only when it is stated in the written quote and the approved repair is completed on the same visit; otherwise the confirmed visit fee applies.

What warranty applies?

Any workmanship or parts warranty applies only when its duration and covered repair are stated on the written quote or invoice. Ask for those terms before approving work.

What the fridge repair quote includes and excludes

Included only when quoted: on-site fault checks, accessible component testing and the approved appliance repair. Separate or excluded unless written: sealed-system or refrigerant work, cabinetry or door removal, household electrical-circuit or plumbing work, transport, disposal and manufacturer-authorised warranty service.
