Tzaneen notes on fridge & appliance repairs
In Tzaneen's humid summers, fridges in Nkowankowa, Lenyenye and the town suburbs often sweat on the outside and grow mould on the door seals. Clean seals with warm soapy water and dry them well. Lightning around Letsitele and Politsi takes out relays and boards, so a surge protector is worth asking about. Lodges in Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof call technicians for kitchen fridges and freezers before holiday weekends.
Fridges and refrigeration in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is subtropical fruit country, and its refrigeration work follows the avocado, mango, banana and citrus seasons. Packhouses around Letsitele, Politsi and the Duiwelskloof road cool fruit for export and local markets, and their cold rooms, forced air coolers and ripening rooms run long hours. The town sits low and humid, so condensers work hard and door seals collect mould, while summer storms bring lightning and outages. Families in Nkowankowa and Lenyenye keep chest freezers for bulk meat, spaza shops run bottle coolers, and lodges in Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg host guests year round. Packhouses, fruit farmers, households, traders and guest houses ask for repairs most.

Typical fridges not cooling requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: a farm kitchen fridge struggling in a hot shed or outbuilding
- Households: a kitchen fridge where the milk goes off but the ice trays still freeze
- Factories and cold stores: a depot canteen fridge that runs non-stop and still feels warm
