\"Signs<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature Concerns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first and most obvious reason for a walk-in cooler repair is a problem with temperature settings. This is obvious for any chef or business owner in the food industry because of how devastating even just a slight temperature problem could be for your bottom line and your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food needs to be kept at a specific temperature in order to keep bacteria from growing and making people sick. Either your food should be kept hot<\/strong> using warm trays or heat lamps, or the food should be cooled<\/strong> in a walk-in refrigerator. If any food products, especially meat, are left at room temperature, this is what’s considered the danger zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The danger zone consists of food in a temperature range of 40\u00b0F and 140\u00b0F. Anything within this range could become spoiled in a matter of hours. If your walk-in refrigerator is reaching 40\u00b0<\/strong> or higher, then it needs to be repaired ASAP. <\/strong>All food should be removed from it while we fix it so you can avoid having to clean spoiled food later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrical Malfunctions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do temperature fluctuations happen? There are a number of different factors, but one of them can be an electrical malfunction. Walk-in coolers use a lot of electricity to keep your food products cool. If you’re noticing lights flickering or going out, panels not working, or even frayed wires, then you’ll need to schedule repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even a slight electrical malfunction could signal that something is not right with your wiring, or that a critter has started chewing on the wires. This can be catastrophic if left alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seal Is Broken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your walk-in cooler needs a tight seal in order for it to keep at a correct temperature or run efficiently. This is usually done with rubber pads and a powerful door that can keep the space insulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you notice the seal is broken, or it’s leaking a lot of cool air when it opens, then you might want to schedule repairs. We can address a broken seal, locate broken seals, or even detect where you might have contaminants leaking into the system causing trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
