24/7 Emergency Walk-In Cooler Repair in Dallas-Fort Worth | Commercial Refrigeration Experts

Common Walk-In Cooler Failures We Repair

Refrigerant Leaks, Compressor & Fan Motor (ECM/PSC) Issues

Don't wait until complete failure. Watch for these warning signs that indicate your walk-in cooler needs professional attention:

• Temperature fluctuations or warm spots - Uneven cooling threatens food safety

• Ice or frost on the evaporator coil - Blocks airflow and reduces efficiency

• Condensation, water pooling, or door frost - Creates slip hazards and damages products

• Loud or constantly running compressor/fans - Indicates strain on the system

• Refrigerant leak indicators (oily residue, hissing) - Requires immediate EPA-compliant repair

• High energy bills or longer pull-down times - System working harder than necessary

• Electrical issues, tripped breakers - Safety hazard requiring immediate attention

• Dirty condenser coil/high head pressure shutdowns - Overheats system and causes failures

• ECM/PSC fan motor failures or inadequate airflow - Poor circulation leads to hot spots

TXV/EEV & Defrost System Problems

• Thermostat misreadings or calibration drift - Risks food safety compliance

• Defrost failures (heater, timer, sensor) causing ice buildup - Blocks cooling and damages components

• Drain line clogs and pan heater failures - Water damage and ice formation

• Panel insulation/vapor barrier breaches and sweating - Structural damage and mold risk

Door Gaskets, Closers, and Air Leaks

• Damaged door gaskets, air leaks, or misalignment - Wastes energy and strains equipment

Door closers, latches, hinges, and thresholds - Proper sealing critical for efficiency
