1. Refrigerator Not Cooling Properly
If your commercial fridge isn’t keeping items cold, it could be due to:
- Dirty Condenser Coils: Dust and grease buildup reduce efficiency. Regular cleaning can prevent this.
- Faulty Thermostat: Check if the thermostat is working properly and set at the right temperature.
- Blocked Air Vents: Ensure food is not blocking air circulation.
2. Excessive Ice or Frost Build-Up
Frost inside your fridge indicates moisture issues. Causes include:
- Damaged Door Seals: Worn-out gaskets allow warm air in, leading to condensation and frost.
- Frequent Door Openings: Limit unnecessary openings to reduce moisture buildup.
3. Strange Noises from the Fridge
Unusual sounds often indicate mechanical problems:
- Buzzing or Humming: Could be a faulty fan motor.
- Clicking Sounds: A failing compressor might be the culprit.
4. Water Leakage
Leaks often result from:
- Clogged Drain Lines: Debris can block drain pipes, causing water to pool inside.
- Excessive Condensation: High humidity levels can lead to condensation buildup.
When to Call a Professional
Some issues require expert repair. If your fridge isn’t cooling, making excessive noise, or leaking fluids, contact a professional refrigeration service to prevent costly breakdowns.
