Common Indications Your Walk-In Freezer May Need to Be Repaired
Regular maintenance and care of your commercial refrigerator will ensure that it lasts a long time. Repairs are inevitable, just like with any appliance, and you can reduce the likelihood of expensive emergency repairs by catching problems early. If your walk-in is experiencing problems, look for these warning signs and schedule an appointment at a repair center.
These are signs to help you know when it's time to schedule service calls:
Frost buildup could indicate that temperatures rapidly change, causing items to melt and refreeze. The humidity is low, and your walk-in cooler has too much condensation. Frost buildup near your door could indicate that it is not sealing well. Check door gaskets for cracks.
FLUCTUATED TEMPERATURES
The temperature at your walk-in should be almost constant. Temperature fluctuations can cause damage to your inventory, and a malfunctioning sensor could cause these fluctuations. You should make sure the walk-in doors are not left open for too long. This will allow warm air to enter the unit, making it work harder to regulate temperature.
ODD SMELLS
Unusual or stale scents accompany many coolant leaks. A strange smell may indicate that coolant is leaking, or your condenser has problems.
STRANGE NOISES
Unusual noises can indicate that your cooler has mechanical problems and requires repair. An experienced service technician can diagnose the noise source and determine the following steps to keep your walk functioning properly.
WATER LEAKS
Water leaks can be caused by old or defective insulation and damaged seals. Water leaks may lead to mildew or mold growth. It is essential to take action and have the problem fixed. Although repairs can be frustrating, it is vital to catch them early, so they don't damage stock or cause more damage. Notify employees about the repair warning signs to address any malfunctioning walk-in components or problems early.
