Welkom notes on fridge & appliance repairs
Fridge and freezer calls in Welkom come mostly from Thabong, Riebeeckstad and the older town suburbs, and from Odendaalsrus and Virginia. Dust from the mine dumps settles on coils and fans, so a fridge can run all day and still be warm. Clean the coils every few months. Technicians often fix washing machines and stoves on the same trip. Ask for a written quote before any regas or compressor job.
What keeps Welkom cold
Welkom was built for the Free State goldfields, and its refrigeration needs still follow the mines. Mine kitchens, hostels and canteens run cold rooms and big freezers for large numbers of workers, and contractors serving the shafts around Welkom, Odendaalsrus and Virginia keep chillers and water coolers going. In Thabong and the older suburbs, households rely on fridges and chest freezers bought for bulk meat, and spaza shops and taverns keep bottle coolers cold through hot, dusty summers. Dust from mine dumps and dry veld clogs condenser coils, and winters bring frost. Households, spaza owners, mine contractors, butcheries and farmers on the surrounding maize lands ask most.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Households: a garage chest freezer full of meat bought in bulk that has stopped freezing
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a spaza shop's ice and frozen chicken freezer that needs a fast repair
- Factories and cold stores: a canteen's chest freezers at a mine or factory kitchen
