What keeps North West cold
North West mixes platinum mining towns, a long maize and sunflower belt and weekend homes around Hartbeespoort Dam. In Rustenburg and Brits the fridge load comes from mine housing, hostels, canteens and the shops and taverns that serve them, while Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom have student digs, older family homes and a busy trade in second-hand appliances. Summers are hot and dry, dust blows off the mine dumps and ploughed lands, and rural areas can see long power cuts and dips in voltage. Farms around Lichtenburg and Delareyville keep chest freezers full of meat, and butcheries run walk-in cold rooms. Most requests are for fridges that run but do not cool, chest freezer repairs and cold room checks.
Typical fridge compressors requests in the area come from:
- Households: a new compressor fitted and regassed in a large family fridge that went warm
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a replacement compressor for a bottle cooler that trips the plug point
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: a compressor for the farm chest freezer after a lightning surge
