We repair Walk-In Coolers, Freezers, Cold Rooms and Reach-Ins that run warm, ice up or shut down, including systems installed by others.
Common repairs include Evaporator Fan Motors and Capacitors, Condensing Unit and Compressor problems, iced or dirty coils, clogged drains and refrigerant leaks.
Refrigeration brands we commonly service include Copeland, Heatcraft, Bitzer, Russell, Krack, Kolpak and Tecumseh, plus most other brands.
Planned maintenance checks coils, drains, Fans, Compressors and refrigerant charge. Agreement customers get California RMP refrigerant leak inspection reports.
We design and install Refrigeration for Walk-In Coolers, Freezers, Cold Rooms and Barrel Rooms, sized for the room, storage conditions and operating temperatures.
Problem: A Unit Cooler Fan was not running correctly.
Repair: We replaced a failed Capacitor. The Fan Motor windings were also damaged and the motor was smoking, so we replaced the Fan Motor.
Verified outcome: Unit Cooler back online with all Fans running.
Problem: A Fan in a wine storage cooler was not working correctly.
Repair: We replaced the failed Evaporator Fan Motor, rinsed the Condensing Unit Coils, then checked every Unit Cooler and both Direct Expansion Units.
Verified outcome: All units operating properly, with no other issues found.
A maintenance visit checks the Condenser and Evaporator Coils, Fans and Fan Motors, defrost operation, the drain line and its heater, and door gaskets, heaters and closers. We also check refrigerant charge and pressures, Compressors and electrical connections, controller setpoints, and do California RMP leak inspections on systems that require them.
Common causes are a dirty Condenser Coil, an iced or dirty Evaporator Coil, a failed Evaporator Fan Motor, a door or gasket that is not sealing, a defrost problem, or low refrigerant from a leak. Product stacked against the Evaporator can also block airflow. We find the cause before replacing parts.
Walk-In Coolers for food usually run between 35 and 38°F and must keep food at 41°F or below. Freezers should hold 0°F or below. Produce varies by crop, so we set the room for what you store.
It’s usually a defrost problem, such as a failed defrost heater, timer, termination switch or a stuck Relay. Other causes are a failed Evaporator Fan, low refrigerant, a clogged drain, or a door or gasket letting in warm, moist air.
It’s usually a clogged or frozen drain line, a failed drain line heater on a Freezer, or an iced coil melting off. A door or gasket that lets in warm, moist air makes it worse.
We’ll follow up to confirm the details and schedule a visit.
