Potchefstroom notes on fridge & appliance repairs
Landlords with student flats near the campus and in the older streets of town ask for fridges, bar fridges and washing machines to be checked before each term, when broken seals, failed thermostats and washers with blocked pumps are found. Families in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park call about frost-free fridges that ice up. A fridge switched off over the holidays with the door shut can grow mould on the seal, so leave it ajar.
What keeps Potchefstroom cold
Potchefstroom is a university town on the Mooi River, and student housing drives much of its fridge work. Landlords with flats, communes and digs near the campus ask for small fridges, bar fridges and washing machines to be fixed between terms, often several at a time. Families in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park keep double-door fridges and garage freezers, while Ikageng and Promosa have spaza shops and taverns with display fridges. Farms around the town grow maize and keep cattle, with cold rooms for meat. Summers are hot with thunderstorms and power dips, and frosty winters catch fridges stored in garages and outbuildings over the holidays.
The requests we see from Potchefstroom usually come from:
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: a letting agent arranging a proper leak repair rather than another top-up
- Households: a kitchen fridge slowly losing cold after a pipe was nicked during a defrost
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a corner shop's drinks fridge that keeps needing gas every few months
