Commercial Freezer Repair

A fault or breakdown in a commercial freezer can cause huge issues to your business, including the potential loss of valuable stock, or hazardous food or medicine being used by mistake. A commercial freezer repair is usually needed in a hurry, and you need to know you are working with engineers you can rely on.

Our Yorkshire-based team can help by diagnosing and repairing the issue or issues that have caused your commercial freezer to break down, and get you back up and running again quickly.

Risks of Commercial Freezer Breakdown

There are several risks associated with commercial freezer breakdown, and these need to be considered when deciding whether or not to repair your freezer.

• The loss of valuable stock: If you have a large commercial freezer, it is likely that you will have a lot of stock inside it. If this stock is lost because of a breakdown, it could cost you a lot of money. You won’t be able to use the stock at all if it is ruined.
• The use of hazardous food or medicine: If your commercial freezer is used to store food or medicine, it is important that it is kept at the correct temperature. If the temperature rises too much, this could lead to the food or medicine becoming unsafe to use.
• The spread of bacteria: If your commercial freezer is not working properly, it could lead to the growth of bacteria. This could cause food poisoning or other illnesses and could even lead to you being liable if somebody should get ill.

Signs You Need Commercial Freezer Repair

There are many different signs that something is wrong with your industrial or commercial freezer. If you notice any of the following, or suspect any issue, it is important to get in touch with a professional commercial freezer repair company as soon as possible:

• The freezer is not maintaining its temperature. This is an obvious and sure-fire way to tell that the freezer is not working, and your stock could be at risk.
• The freezer is not turning on. This could be a problem with the freezer itself, or with the power supply.
• There is water leaking from the freezer. This could be a sign of a problem with the door seal, or it could indicate that the freezer is not defrosting properly.
• The freezer is making strange noises. Mechanical problems can lead to your freezer developing a new noise.
• There is ice or frost build-up inside the freezer. This could be a sign that the freezer is not functioning properly, or could require maintenance.
• An unusual or unpleasant smell has developed.  This could be a sign of bacteria growth, and is definitely something you should have looked at as soon as possible.

As with virtually every piece of equipment in a commercial setting or commercial system, there are lots of ways in which your freezer may run into problems.

Common things that can cause problems with your freezer include:

Overloading: Overloading the freezer with too much product can cause the compressor to work harder than necessary, leading to overheating and potentially damaging the unit.

Power supply issues: Fluctuations in the power supply or electrical problems can cause the freezer to malfunction or stop working altogether.

Thermostat problems: A faulty thermostat can cause the freezer to either run too cold or not cold enough, leading to spoilage or freezer burn.

Evaporator or condenser issues: Issues with the evaporator or condenser coils can cause the freezer to stop cooling properly or not at all.

Refrigerant leaks: Leaks in the refrigerant system can cause the freezer to lose its cooling capacity, leading to spoilage or damage to the unit.

Door seal problems: A broken or faulty door seal can cause warm air to enter the freezer, leading to condensation and potentially damaging the unit.
