Randburg notes on parts, gas & equipment
Spares shops around the Randburg CBD and Strijdom Park keep door seals, thermostats, defrost timers and fans for older fridges, and refrigeration suppliers in Kya Sand stock compressors, gas and tools. Upright freezers and chest freezers are bought for garages in Bromhof and Northgate. If your fridge is old, take the model plate details to the spares shop, since some older seals and thermostats are only available as universal parts.
Fridges and refrigeration in Randburg
Randburg is a spread of established suburbs, flats and light industry in Johannesburg's north west. Homes in Linden, Blairgowrie, Northcliff and Ferndale date mostly from the middle of last century, with older wiring, garages full of freezers and the second fridge that never quite gets thrown out. Flats around the Randburg CBD and Bordeaux house many renters, so landlords ask for fridge and washing machine repairs often. Strijdom Park and nearby Kya Sand hold food factories, caterers and distributors with cold rooms. Restaurants along 4th Avenue in Linden and in Ferndale run display fridges. Summer hail, lightning and power cuts keep technicians busy with relays and boards.

- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: a compressor swap in a landlord's fridge instead of buying a new one
- Restaurants, butcheries and caterers: a compressor for an under-counter fridge or prep freezer in a busy kitchen
