Family homes, complexes and lots of fridges
Moreleta Park is one of Pretoria East's largest family suburbs, with freestanding homes on the older streets and many townhouse complexes in between. A lot of homes have a second fridge or bar fridge in the lapa or garage, and those run hardest in the summer heat.
Defrosting is where we see avoidable damage. Chipping ice off a freezer or bar fridge with a knife is one of the most common ways cold plates get punctured. That's exactly what happened in the Moreleta Park job below.

How to defrost safely
Switch the fridge off, take the food out, leave the door open with towels underneath, and let the ice melt on its own. A bowl of warm water inside speeds it up. Never use a knife, screwdriver or hair dryer close to the ice.

A recent appliance job in Moreleta Park
Hisense bar fridge leaking gas after a knife was used to defrost it
Moreleta Park, Pretoria East · Hisense bar fridge · Fixed: new cold plate installed
The bar fridge had stopped cooling. While defrosting it, the owner had chipped at the ice with a knife and punctured the cold plate, the metal panel that carries the refrigerant gas. The gas leaked out through the hole, so the fridge could no longer get cold. We installed a new cold plate and the fridge is cooling again. Tip: never use a knife or sharp tool on ice inside a fridge or freezer. Switch it off, leave the door open with a towel underneath, and let the ice melt on its own. A bowl of warm water inside speeds it up.
