Likely causes

What is usually behind it

The same symptom can have very different causes, and they cost very different amounts. This is what we are actually looking for.

What you seeUsual causeWhat we do
Not holding temperatureEvaporator fan, defrost fault, or low refrigerant chargeConfirm airflow and the defrost cycle before anyone opens the sealed system
Running constantlyDirty condenser or a failing door sealClean the condenser and check the seals; on a commercial unit this is also most of the energy bill
Heavy evaporator iceDefrost heater, termination thermostat, or timerTest the whole defrost circuit, since a single failed part ices the coil and stops airflow completely
Short-cyclingFailing start components or a restricted condenserDiagnose before replacing a compressor, which is the most expensive wrong answer available
Water on the floorBlocked or frozen drain lineClear the full line and check the heater in it, because a drain that refreezes is a slip hazard every day

FAQ

Commercial Freezer repair FAQs

How fast can you get to a commercial unit?

We prioritise them. A freezer down in a working kitchen loses stock by the hour, so commercial calls go to the front of the queue rather than into the normal run.

How much will it cost?

It depends on which part failed. The service visit is free with any repair and $80 otherwise, and you get the full price before any work starts. If it turns out to be something simple we sort it out there and then, covered by the same $80.

Can you work around our service hours?

Tell us when you open and we will work to it. Most commercial work is better done before service or between shifts, and we would rather schedule around you than shut a line down.

It is running constantly but still not cold enough.

Usually a dirty condenser or failing door seals making it work against a constant heat leak. Both are inexpensive, and on a commercial unit they are also a large share of the electricity bill.

There is heavy ice on the evaporator coil.

The defrost circuit has failed: a heater, termination thermostat or timer. Ice on the coil stops airflow, which is why the box warms while the compressor runs non-stop.

The compressor keeps starting and stopping.

Short-cycling, usually failing start components or a restricted condenser rather than the compressor itself. We diagnose it properly, because replacing a compressor is the most expensive wrong answer available.

Do you handle walk-ins?

Small walk-in boxes yes, including the evaporator and condensing units. For very large refrigeration plant we will tell you honestly if it is outside what we take on.

Can you give us a maintenance visit rather than wait for a failure?

Yes, and on commercial equipment it pays for itself. Condenser cleaning and seal replacement prevent most of the failures that shut a kitchen down.

Do you work on display and merchandiser freezers?

Yes. On those the glass, lighting and door seals matter as much as the temperature, and we handle all of it.

What warranty do I get?

Our labor carries 90 days on every completed repair, and original manufacturer (OEM) parts carry a full year. We tell you which parts are going in before you approve the work.

Still not sure?

Call and describe it. We will tell you straight whether it is worth fixing.
