Spoiled food means a substantial loss of revenue to a business in the food industry. A refrigerator’s compressor is the heart of its cooling system, being the most important element of a three component system, if one of the other systems such as fans or condenser coils fail, the compressor works harder to make up for it which wears it down quicker.

Commercial Fridge Repair FAQs
On average, a commercial fridge repair can cost anywhere between $200 and up to $1000, depending on the issue that needs to be fixed and parts needed. For example, a simple thermostat replacement will cost much less than issues with themotor.
Your commercial fridge not cooling can be a huge headache especially because there is so much at stake such as food and produce going to waste! There can be many factors as to why your fridge may not be cooling at optimal level and our team of experts are prepared to do all kinds of troubleshooting and repairs accordingly.
The most common reasons as to why your commercial fridge may not be cooling efficiently are changes in thermostat settings, doors being left open for too long, blocked vents or door gaskets have become weak. If after checking these issues your commercial fridge is still not cooling, it’s time to call in the experts!
If you notice your commercial fridge is blowing hot air, this is definitely a huge cause of concern as it indicates your appliance is not working as it should. The root cause in most cases can be your fridge compressor. Some common issues as to why your fridge may be blowing hot air can be narrowed down to dirty condenser coils, issues with the evaporator fan motor or malfunction in the relay-start capacitor.
The evaporator fan motor helps circulate air over the evaporator coil in a uniform manner so the fridge can cool efficiently at the set temperature. If there is a malfunction in the motor, the fridge will not be able to cool consistently or at all. The relay-start capacitor is what supplies power to the fridge compressor. If the relay-start malfunctions, the compressor will cool inconsistently or may not cool at all.
Ice build up in a commercial fridge can thoroughly disrupt the functionality of the appliance. It is important to first understand why this occurs. The biggest reason as to why ice builds up in a commercial fridge is when hot or humid air is let into the fridge often and for prolonged periods of time. This commonly occurs when employees are restocking the fridge or when the fridge door is not shut properly. Another cause of ice build up can be due to faulty or damaged door hinges.
Ice build up not only damages the appliance physically but also disrupts its internal functionality greatly! Overall running costs start to increase because the commercial fridge starts to work in overdrive trying to compensate for the hot or humid air that is compromising the cooling levels set for the fridge. This causes the appliance to use more energy and starts affecting other parts of the fridge resulting in expensive repairs.
You are likely better off fixing an issue rather than replacing the entire fridge, simply because they are very expensive to begin with. Unless the fridge is very old and deemed beyond repair, fixing it can save you a lot of money. However, if you continue to experience issues that are costing you a lot, it may be better for you to just replace the fridge.

Industrial Fridge Maintenance Tips
Keep coils free from dust and debris. Clean the coils with a coil cleaning brush and vacuum. The brushes can be used for cleaning your dehumidifier and air conditioner coils as well. You should generally do this twice a year. Always remember to unplug your fridge before cleaning it!
Fridges use more energy and work harder if the gasket isn’t sealing well. Make sure to check the gasket for wear and tear often. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced. Make sure to clean the gasket with warm water mixed with soap to prevent damage from food and crumbs building up.
Fridge water dispensers and ice makers have filters that need to be changed regularly. Check your fridge manufacturer instructions to find out how to keep your water dispenser and icemaker clean.
Hot dishes that have just come out of the oven should not be placed in the fridge. This will cause an irregular temperature, meaning the fridge has to work harder to stabilize. Make sure hot items cool down before you put them inside the fridge.
If your fridge doesn’t close properly, the cool air will escape, which will make it work much harder and also waste energy.
Even though it is good to keep your fridge moderately full, don’t overcrowd it. Overcrowding can cause food to get in the way of any vents or controls. Also, be sure to keep food sealed with secured tops to minimize moisture.
The position of the fridge is very important. Try to keep it away from any heating source such as a cooktop or oven. If the fridge is close to heat, it will work harder and use more energy.
