In Seattle’s bustling restaurant and hospitality scene, reliable commercial kitchen equipment repair services are essential. A malfunctioning walk-in cooler can disrupt operations, spoil inventory, and cost your business thousands. That’s why Orca Mechanical specializes in fast, efficient, and affordable walk-in cooler repair services in Seattle and the entire Puget Sound Area.
Common Walk-In Cooler Problems
Understanding the signs of trouble can save you time and money. Here are some common issues you may run into with your walk-in cooler or walk-in freezer:
Inconsistent Temperatures
If your walk-in cooler isn’t maintaining the proper temperature, it can jeopardize food safety. This issue can stem from many issues, from mechanical issues to leaving the door open too often or loading hot food before cooling, just to name a few. If you can’t figure this out quickly on your own, it’s best to seek qualified help.
Unusual Noises
Loud or strange noises may indicate problems with the compressor or fan motor. Immediate attention can prevent more extensive damage.
Frost Buildup
Excessive frost or ice buildup can reduce efficiency and may point to a refrigerant leak or other potential issues.
Water Leaks
Leaks inside or around your cooler must be addressed quickly. The last thing any restaurant owner wants is a surprise visit from the health inspector with leaking equipment.
What Can I Do to Prevent Issues With My Walk-In?
There’s a lot of different issues that could potentially pop up and your walk-in is the life or your business. When it fails, everything else comes to a grinding halt. Manufacturers recommend not only professional preventative maintenance for walk-ins, but also routine maintenance and proper use of your equipment.
Always let food cool before placing into walk-in. We commonly see newer restaurateurs placing hot food into walk-ins. This is an easy thing to avoid.
Be careful with the gaskets. Rubbing pans or pushing carts up against door gaskets can damage them and break the seal.
Watch the door. Leaving the door open will obviously prevent the cooler from working properly. Make sure your employees are informed of proper use of your refrigeration equipment to get the longest life possible.
But when it comes to the mechanical needs, don’t be a DIY hero, call a professional.
