Fridge Not Cooling in North West

The main fridges not cooling page explains the types, the checks and the costs in more detail.
What to know locally in North West
Fridge and freezer repairs in Rustenburg come from Tlhabane, Boitekong, Geelhoutpark and the mine villages along the platinum belt, often from shared housing where one fridge works hard for many people. In Potchefstroom, student flats near the campus and Die Bult keep bar fridge repairs steady. Weekend homes at Hartbeespoort and Schoemansville sometimes stand empty for weeks, so a fridge left switched on through a power cut can come back with a smell and a blocked drain.
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.
The requests we see from North West usually come from:

- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a spaza owner's household fridge holding stock that has quietly warmed up
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: a farm kitchen fridge struggling in a hot shed or outbuilding
