Why Commercial Refrigeration Repair Requires Specialists

Commercial refrigeration systems are complex equipment that must maintain precise temperatures to protect perishable inventory and meet health code requirements. They operate under demanding conditions, often running 24/7 in hot kitchen environments, while managing critical temperature thresholds. Proper repair requires technicians who understand these unique commercial refrigeration demands.

Common refrigeration failures include compressor problems, refrigerant leaks, defrost system malfunctions, evaporator and condenser coil issues, expansion valve failures, electrical control problems, and door gasket deterioration. Our technicians use professional diagnostic equipment to identify the root cause quickly, not just the symptoms, ensuring repairs last and prevent recurring issues.

We stock common commercial refrigeration parts on our service vehicles and have priority access to replacement components through our established supplier relationships. When parts aren't immediately available, we provide temporary solutions when possible to keep your equipment running and your inventory safe while we source what's needed.

Common Refrigeration Problems We Fix

Compressor and refrigerant issues are among the most common and critical commercial refrigeration failures. A failing compressor or refrigerant leak can cause rapid temperature rise, putting your entire inventory at risk.

  • Compressor failure — mechanical breakdown, electrical issues, or overheating
  • Refrigerant leaks — leak detection, repair, and proper recharging
  • Low refrigerant charge — reduced cooling capacity and inconsistent temperatures
  • Compressor short cycling — caused by low refrigerant, dirty coils, or electrical problems
  • TXV/metering device failures — improper refrigerant flow causing freezing or warm spots

  • Defrost timer or control failure — ice buildup on evaporator coils blocking airflow
  • Defrost heater burnout — coils icing over and reducing cooling capacity
  • Evaporator fan motor failure — poor air circulation and uneven temperatures
  • Drain line clogs — water pooling inside the unit or ice forming on the floor
  • Defrost termination thermostat — defrost cycle running too long or not long enough

  • Temperature controller failure — unit not maintaining set temperature
  • Condenser fan motor problems — causing high head pressure and compressor overheating
  • Door gasket deterioration — warm air infiltration increasing energy use and temperature
  • Door closer and hinge failures — doors not sealing properly
  • Dirty condenser coils — severely restricting heat rejection and reducing efficiency

Our Refrigeration Diagnostic Process

  • Gather information about symptoms, temperature readings, and recent changes
  • Visual inspection of the unit's overall condition, ice buildup, and connections
  • Check temperature logs and controller settings for diagnostic clues
  • Verify power supply and electrical connections to the unit
  • Inspect door seals and closure mechanisms for air infiltration

  • Refrigerant pressure analysis checking suction, discharge, and superheat/subcooling
  • Compressor amp draw testing verifying motor health and electrical integrity
  • Defrost system verification testing heaters, timers, and termination controls
  • Evaporator and condenser inspection checking coil condition and airflow
  • Temperature differential analysis verifying proper cooling across the cabinet

Refrigeration Repair vs Replace Decision Guide

Repair is typically the best option for newer equipment or when the repair cost is reasonable relative to the unit's remaining useful life.

  • Unit is less than 8-10 years old with significant life remaining
  • Repair cost is under 50% of replacement cost
  • First major failure with no pattern of recurring problems
  • Equipment still maintains temperatures with reasonable energy costs
  • Walk-in panels and insulation are still in good condition

  • Unit is over 12-15 years old approaching end of useful life
  • Frequent repairs with increasing frequency and cost
  • Major compressor failure on aging equipment with worn components
  • Uses R-22 or obsolete refrigerant which is phased out and expensive
  • High energy bills that new energy-efficient equipment would reduce

  • We never push unnecessary replacements — if repair makes sense, we'll tell you
  • Transparent cost comparison of repair vs replacement options
  • Energy savings analysis showing potential savings with new equipment
  • Financing options available if replacement is the best path forward
  • Written repair estimates before any work begins

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to your refrigeration repair questions

We provide priority emergency service for commercial refrigeration failures and respond as quickly as possible. We understand that rising temperatures threaten your perishable inventory, so refrigeration emergencies are treated with the highest urgency. Call (708) 231-4800 for immediate emergency service.

Yes, we provide emergency service for commercial refrigeration failures outside normal business hours. Walk-in cooler and freezer failures can result in thousands of dollars in lost inventory, so we make emergency refrigeration calls a top priority. Call us any time for emergency commercial refrigeration repair service.

Repair costs vary depending on the type of equipment, the problem, and parts needed. Minor repairs like a fan motor or defrost timer replacement are relatively affordable, while major repairs like compressor replacement are a more significant investment. We provide a written estimate before starting any repair work so you can make an informed decision.

The most common failures include compressor problems, refrigerant leaks, defrost system malfunctions (causing ice buildup on evaporator coils), evaporator and condenser fan motor failures, dirty condenser coils, failed temperature controllers, expansion valve issues, and worn door gaskets. Many of these can be prevented with regular maintenance.

First, make sure the door is fully closed and the gaskets are sealing properly. Check that nothing is blocking the evaporator fans or airflow inside the unit. If the compressor isn't running, check the breaker. If the problem persists, call us immediately at (708) 231-4800 — rising temperatures are a food safety emergency that needs professional attention right away.

Our goal is always to complete repairs before temperatures reach unsafe levels. We respond quickly to refrigeration emergencies and work to resolve issues as fast as possible. If repair will take extended time, we can advise on temporary measures like keeping doors closed, using portable cooling, or relocating critical inventory to protect your products.

When possible, yes. If a permanent repair requires parts that aren't immediately available, we explore temporary solutions to keep your refrigeration running and your inventory safe. This might include temporary bypass solutions, manual defrost cycles, or other workarounds depending on the nature of the failure. We always communicate clearly about what's possible and realistic.

Regular professional preventive maintenance is the single most effective way to prevent breakdowns. This includes cleaning condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing defrost systems, inspecting door gaskets, verifying temperature controls, and lubricating moving parts. We recommend quarterly maintenance for most commercial refrigeration equipment.

Common causes include dirty condenser coils reducing cooling capacity, a clogged water filter restricting water flow, a faulty water inlet valve, scale buildup on the evaporator plate, a malfunctioning harvest cycle, or a refrigerant issue. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the specific cause and restore your ice production.

Yes. After diagnosing the problem, we provide a clear, written estimate detailing the necessary repairs and costs before beginning any work. You'll know exactly what's needed and what it will cost. If we discover additional issues during repair, we'll communicate those before proceeding.
