Before you ask
Why is my walk-in cooler running warm?
The usual causes are a dirty condenser coil, a stopped evaporator fan, ice on the evaporator from a defrost problem, a door that does not seal, or a refrigerant leak. A technician tests each one on site before recommending a repair.
What causes ice to build up in a walk-in freezer?
Most often the defrost cycle is not finishing (a heater, the timer or board, or a sensor), or warm, humid air is getting in through a door that does not seal.
Can a walk-in door cause temperature problems?
Yes. A torn gasket, a door that does not close on its own or a frame heater that stopped can let warm air in, build ice and make the system run longer.
How much does a walk-in repair cost?
It depends on the cause and the part. The diagnostic visit has a set price, and the repair is quoted in writing after a technician tests the system.
What should I do until the visit?
Keep the door closed, move product that can spoil to a unit that is holding temperature and write down the readings you see. Keep the floor dry if there is water.
Do you clean walk-in coils?
Yes. Coil cleaning has its own page, and regular cleaning is one of the simplest ways to keep a walk-in holding temperature.
