eMalahleni notes on fridge & appliance repairs
Technicians in eMalahleni say the first job on many fridges is simply a coil and fan clean, because coal dust packs the condenser in homes from Tasbetpark to Ackerville. Frost-free fridges in KwaGuqa often come in with a failed defrost heater or a blocked drain, and surge damage after summer storms is common. Ask for the dust to be brushed and vacuumed out rather than blown around the kitchen, and mention if the fridge stands in a garage.
eMalahleni: heat, power and cold chains
In eMalahleni the enemy of a fridge is fine black dust. Coal from the collieries and stockpiles drifts into kitchens, settles on the condenser coils at the back and on the fan blades of shop fridges, and a clogged coil makes the compressor run hot and long. Mine canteens, contractor camps and takeaways near the shafts lean on chest freezers and walk-in cold rooms that seldom get a rest. Hail and lightning in summer, plus power dips, take out start relays and control boards, while frosty winters catch fridges parked in unheated garages. Households in KwaGuqa and Del Judor, spaza owners, butcheries and mine caterers make up most of the requests.
The requests we see from eMalahleni 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
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a small laundromat keeping several machines running through the week
