Cape Town notes on fridge & appliance repairs
In Sea Point, Camps Bay and Muizenberg, salt air eats the condenser coils and fan motors of fridges in open plan kitchens near the sea, so leaks show up sooner. In Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha, sand blown in by the south-easter clogs the coils at the back. Technicians from Claremont, Salt River and Bellville cover most suburbs. Ask for a coil clean with every repair, and keep holiday flat fridges switched on with the door shut.
Cape Town: heat, power and cold chains
Cape Town's refrigeration work stretches from the fishing harbours to the fresh produce trade. Fish processors and freezer stores around the harbour, Hout Bay and Kalk Bay depend on blast freezers and cold rooms, while the Epping market feeds a ring of cold stores, distributors and ripening rooms. Restaurants on Bree Street and along the Atlantic seaboard run walk-ins and under-counter fridges flat out in the summer season. At home, salt air on the seaboard and the False Bay coast corrodes condenser coils and fan motors, and the south-easter pushes dust and sand behind fridges on the Cape Flats. Restaurants, landlords with holiday flats, spaza owners and households ask most.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Households: a family front loader full of wet school uniforms that will not drain
- Restaurants, butcheries and caterers: a restaurant washing tea towels and aprons in a machine out back
- Factories and cold stores: a staff laundry at a mine hostel or factory with heavy daily loads
