02 / Problems we fix

Walk-in cooler problems we repair.

Tell us what the equipment is doing and we will take it from there.

  • Not Holding Temperature

    A warm walk-in can be dirty condenser coils, a failed evaporator or condenser fan, an iced evaporator, a faulty expansion valve, a low refrigerant charge or a door that is not sealing. We find which before replacing parts.

  • Evaporator Icing Up

    Frost blocking the evaporator coil points to a defrost heater, timer or termination thermostat that has failed, or to warm moist air getting in through a door or gasket.

  • Compressor Short-Cycling or Not Running

    A compressor that starts and stops repeatedly or will not start at all can have a relay, capacitor, contactor, pressure switch or refrigerant problem. Running it that way shortens its life.

  • Door Not Sealing or Sweating

    Worn gaskets, a sagging door, a failed closer or a dead frame heater let warm air in and cause condensation and ice. These are inexpensive repairs that save energy and product.

  • Water Dripping Inside

    Water from the evaporator usually means the drain line is frozen or blocked, or the drain heater has failed. Water on the floor is a slip hazard and a food safety issue.

  • Alarms and Controller Faults

    Digital controllers report sensor, defrost and temperature faults. We diagnose the fault behind the alarm rather than just silencing it.

03 / Good to know

While you wait for the technician

Keep the door closed, move high-risk product to another unit or an insulated container with ice, and note the temperature readings. Do not try to chip ice off the evaporator coil; damaged fins and tubes turn a defrost repair into a coil replacement.

Maintenance that prevents emergencies

Most walk-in failures we see trace back to dirty condenser coils, worn gaskets and defrost systems that stopped working months earlier. A quarterly check of the coils, fans, defrost cycle and door hardware is the most cost-effective service a food business can schedule.

Call (571) 303-8548

My walk-in is warm. How fast can you come?

Call (571) 303-8548 and tell us it is a walk-in temperature problem. We prioritise commercial refrigeration that puts product at risk and schedule the first available technician.

Do you repair walk-in freezers as well as coolers?

Yes. Walk-in freezers have the same systems plus more demanding defrost and door heater requirements, and we service both.

Can you fix the condensing unit on the roof?

Yes. We service remote condensing units as well as self-contained and side-mount systems.

Why is there ice on the evaporator?

Usually a failed defrost component or warm air entering through a door or gasket. Chipping the ice off risks damaging the coil; let us diagnose the defrost system.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Ask us when you call. Scheduled coil cleaning, gasket checks and defrost testing prevent most emergency walk-in calls.
