Cost Effective Fridge, Washing Machines, Air Con Repairs, Installation & Servicing
Professional appliance repairs in Simon’s Town and Scarborough. Glotech Appliance repairs fridges, washing machines, tumble dryers, and dishwashers with coastal expertise and warranties.
Life in Simon’s Town and Scarborough offers a rare blend of coastal beauty, historic homes, and quieter seaside living. While this environment is appealing, it places unique demands on household appliances. Salt-laden air, persistent moisture, and fluctuating temperatures all accelerate wear on fridges, washing machines, tumble dryers, and dishwashers. When appliances begin to fail, the impact goes beyond inconvenience and quickly affects daily routines.
Glotech Appliance provides specialised appliance repairs in South Peninsula ( Simon’s Town and Scarborough), focusing on long-term reliability rather than temporary fixes. With over 12 years of experience servicing coastal homes, we understand how environmental conditions influence appliance breakdowns and tailor our repair approach accordingly.
Glotech Appliance is not a franchise or call-centre-based operation. Our technicians work directly with homeowners in Simon’s Town and Scarborough, taking responsibility for each repair completed. This local, accountable approach allows us to offer practical advice based on real appliance condition rather than generic recommendations.
Every repair includes a 6 month warranty on replacement parts and a 4 month warranty on labour. We also provide clear explanations of what was repaired and why, so homeowners understand the work completed and how to avoid repeat issues.
Early signs of appliance trouble are often subtle but should not be ignored. Unusual noises, longer cycle times, inconsistent temperatures, or frequent electrical tripping are indicators that a fault is developing. Addressing these issues early usually prevents secondary damage and keeps repair costs manageable.
Fridges: Clean condenser coils regularly to maintain airflow, keep doors closed properly to prevent temperature fluctuations, ensure ventilation areas are free from obstruction.
Washing Machines: Avoid overloading the drum, clean pump filters and hoses periodically, leave the door open after use to prevent mould and mildew.
Tumble Dryers: Clean lint filters after every cycle, ensure proper airflow around the unit, avoid overdrying loads to preserve heating elements.
Dishwashers: Clean spray arms and filters regularly, use recommended detergents for local water quality, avoid blocking spray paths with improperly stacked dishes.
