Display Refrigerators Leaking Water Repair for Restaurants in Simon's Town
When a display refrigerator starts showing leaking water in Simon's Town, the stock behind it and the trading day ahead are both at risk. As a urgent fault it is dispatched ahead of routine work, typically within 60–120 min. Our technician works through the electrical, refrigerant and airflow side of the fault in turn, then proves the repair.
