💡 Many technicians take the call-out fee off the bill if they do the repair. Ask before they come.
🧊 Fridges: we couldn't find reliable published prices; the price usually comes after inspection. Get it in writing, and compare with a new fridge if it's a big fault (like the compressor).
A rough guide from 5 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of repair companies. The final price is agreed between you and the technician. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually the pump filter is blocked by something small (a coin, a pin). Clean the filter at the bottom before calling anyone.
Usually the drum bearings, or the machine isn't level. If the noise gets worse over time, the bearings need replacing.
Usually the door seal or a loose hose. Check the rubber around the door for a tear.
Every code has a meaning in the manual. Take a photo and send it to the technician so they know before they come.
Often the coil at the back is full of dust, or the door seal doesn't close. Clean the coil and try again.
Usually the internal drain channel is blocked. It needs cleaning, not a new part.
How much is the inspection, and is it deducted if they do the repair?
Ask whether the part is original or a copy, and the difference in price and warranty.
Ask for the full price (part + labour) on WhatsApp before they start.
How long is the warranty, and does it cover the part and the work, or only the part?
Ask for the old part they replaced, so you know it was really changed.
If the repair costs close to half a new machine, think twice before agreeing.

Every month or two, clean the pump filter at the bottom of the machine.
Too much weight wears the bearings and belt. Stick to the weight on the label.
After washing, leave the door slightly open so it doesn't smell or grow mould.
Leave room behind the fridge for air, and dust the coil once a year.

Join freeIf the machine is under about 7 years old and the repair costs less than half a new one, repairing is usually worth it.
Usually leftover soap and water in the door seal and filter. Run an empty hot wash with vinegar, and clean the seal and filter.
No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the technician directly. You agree and pay between you.
