Common Commercial Refrigeration Issues We Repair

The appliance repair experts at Murphy & Miller perform fixes on a lot of commercial walk-in freezers and coolers, so we’re familiar with common problems restaurants and commercial kitchens experience, including:

• Motor Running Constantly – The first question to answer is “Why is my walk-in freezer motor running constantly?” You may have a refrigerant leak or other issues. We’ll perform an inspection to diagnose and recommend the right repair.
• Ice Buildup – Ice buildup on the air vent or evaporator coils of a commercial freezer indicates likely damage elsewhere in your freezer.
• Ice in the Drain Pan – Ice can accumulate in a drain pan when a drain line is clogged or the heater is defective.
• Loss of Power – A simple tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse may cause a power outage to your walk-in freezer. Fortunately, this is an easy repair. Wiring issues or a faulty control board could also be to blame.
• Temperature Too High – If you overfill your walk-in freezer, the evaporator may run hot and prevent proper cooling. Frequently opening and closing the door due to excessive use can also raise temperatures. Frost buildup on the evaporator can be a problem, too.

Call us at 1-312-427-8900 if your commercial refrigerator isn’t work or shows signs of damage! 

Signs You Need Walk-in Freezer Repair

Commercial kitchens rely on heavy-duty refrigeration systems to keep walk-in freezers cold. Without a properly functioning condenser and evaporator coil, hundreds of pounds of perishable food could spoil. Watch for these signs that you need commercial freezer repair so it doesn’t come to this.

• Damaged door seals: Check the doors of your commercial freezer often for signs of a poor seal. Cracked or otherwise damaged gaskets could allow air to leak out of your freezer, wasting energy and needlessly increasing your bills. A repair will set things right again.
• Frost buildup: A thick layer of ice on walk-in cooler shelves is a sign the evaporator coil may not be working properly and needs to be repaired.
• Wet floors: Damaged door seals and poor freezer insulation can cause water leaks. If you don’t take care of the problem, this extra moisture could lead to mold growth.
• Inconsistent temperatures: Pockets of relatively warm air may allow some products in your walk-in freezer to thaw slightly. For food safety purposes, it’s important to remedy the cause of this problem quickly.
• Strange smells: If refrigerant leaks into the walk-in freezer, it may produce an odd odor. This is a sign your freezer is getting old, and it may be worth replacing.
