What to know locally in Potchefstroom

Spares shops near the town centre and in the industrial area keep door seals, thermostats, relays and defrost parts, and order compressors when needed. Landlords often buy several bar fridges or chest freezers at once for flats, and students look for used fridges at the start of the year. Technicians buy R600a and R134a in town. For a used fridge, ask the seller to show it cold and to give the model number.

Potchefstroom: heat, power and cold chains

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.
