Ice Build-Up Repair in Soweto
Defrost heater, sensor and drain faults that cause dangerous ice accumulation on coils — diagnosed and repaired across Soweto.
Ice build-up — fix the defrost, save the coil
Ice build-up on an evaporator coil is a symptom, not the disease. It means the defrost system has failed — heater, termination sensor, timer or drain line — and the coil is being insulated by ice instead of cooling your room. Reyds Refrigeration traces the defrost fault and repairs it across Soweto, restoring airflow and holding temperature.
We clear the ice safely, test the defrost heater circuit, verify the termination sensor, and confirm the drain line is clear and heated so the water leaves the room instead of refreezing. We hold on site through a full defrost cycle to confirm the fix.
