Fridges and refrigeration in Brits
Brits is a farming and factory town on the Crocodile River. Irrigated lands under the Hartbeespoort scheme grow vegetables, wheat and citrus, and growers need cold rooms to hold crates before they go to the Gauteng markets. The industrial area has automotive component plants and other factories, with canteens and staff fridges to keep going. Around the dam at Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville, weekend houses, guest houses and restaurants run bar fridges, freezers and cold rooms that work harder over holidays. Summers are hot and stormy, so condensers struggle and surges strike. In Letlhabile, Mothutlung and Oukasie, spaza shops and taverns need display fridges and freezers repaired fast.
Typical fridge door seals requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: a seal for the chest freezer in the farm store or packhouse
- Households: a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: glass door seals for bottle coolers opened hundreds of times a day
