Sandton notes on parts, gas & equipment
Spares shops in Wynberg and Marlboro, and suppliers in Kramerville, deal in door seals, water filters, fans and boards for built-in and double-door models, though exact parts may need to be ordered.

What keeps Sandton cold
Sandton has the busiest office and hotel district in the country, and the fridges here are often expensive and built in. Homes in Hyde Park, Morningside and Bryanston have integrated fridges, wine coolers, ice makers and American-style double-door units with water dispensers, which need the exact part and a technician who knows the model. Apartment towers around the Sandton CBD and Rivonia have small kitchens where fridges overheat. Restaurants, hotels and office canteens around Rivonia Road and the Sandton CBD run cold rooms and display fridges hard. Across the M1, Alexandra has spaza shops and taverns with display fridges. Summer storms and surges hit boards and inverter compressors.
