Signs Your Commercial Freezer Needs Service

Do you know how to tell when your commercial freezer needs to be serviced? Watch for these signs, and call a technician to repair your freezer before a minor issue becomes a major inconvenience.

Excessive Ice or Frost Buildup

Ice accumulation in commercial freezers is a common occurrence, which can often be resolved by defrosting the unit. However, persistent frost and ice buildup could indicate an underlying issue that needs professional attention. When frost is building up constantly, this typically suggests inadequate cooling functionality. While the unit may still run, it will be more inefficient and end up costing you more money to run. A skilled technician can solve this issue quickly and effectively.

• Persistent ice or frost accumulation despite regular defrosting

• Reduced cooling efficiency causing higher energy bills

• Potential mechanical or thermostat issues causing excess frost

Inconsistent Temperature

Do you find yourself constantly having to adjust the thermostat on your commercial freezer to get it right? If so, your freezer temperature is inconsistent and could easily lead to spoiled and unsafe food. A freezer with temperature issues can also result in increased electricity usage and unnecessary costs. Inconsistent temperatures may be caused by either electrical or mechanical problems, so call a trusted refrigeration technician to diagnose and solve the problem.

• Damp floors or increased humidity around the freezer

• Visible condensation or pooling water

• Damaged or worn seals causing leaks

• Risk of mold growth and slip hazards due to standing wate

Water Leaks

If you notice damp patches on the floor, increased humidity in the room, or excessive condensation around your commercial freezer, it is likely leaking. Leaks typically stem from worn-out or impaired seals, although improper installation can also be a factor in some cases.

Repairing leaks quickly is important because standing water poses various safety hazards, such as slip-and-fall accidents, as well as the development of mold and mildew. Call the professionals at McMullen’s as soon as you notice a leak in your commercial freezer to get it fixed right away!

Worn, Damaged Doors

If the doors to your commercial freezer unit are worn or otherwise damaged, they may not close and seal properly. When your freezer’s doors don’t seal properly, warm air from outside the freezer will work its way in, displacing the cold air and potentially leading to spoiled or unsafe food. If your freezer doors are worn or damaged, have them repaired right away to ensure the freshness and safety of your products.
