Commercial refrigerators are commonly used in numerous industries for a variety of purposes. These pieces of heavy-duty equipment maintain the perfect temperatures for perishable items such as food, beverages and pharmaceutical products. Thus, businesses need to ensure the long-term efficiency and performance of these systems. It all starts with a full understanding of the most common issues commercial refrigerators face. Trusted heating and AC installation contractor American Refrigeration Heating and Cooling, Co. highlights three of them here.
1. Inconsistent temperatures
Problems with the interior components are often behind the failure of a commercial refrigerator to maintain consistent temperatures. The condenser and evaporator coils, for example, may have accumulated excess dirt, or the compressor may have been broken or damaged due to wear and tear. The system could also be lacking refrigerant. Before getting in touch with a technician to detect the source of this issue, see to it that the refrigerator is set to the desired temperature.
2. Strange noises
It’s not uncommon for heavy-duty equipment like a commercial refrigerator to make noise while it’s in operation. It usually comes from the fans, motors and compressor running. However, if you hear something that sounds out of the ordinary, there could be an issue with any of the interior components mentioned. Call your AC system repair technician right away so you won’t have to temporarily discontinue operations.
3. Ice buildup
Ice forming in your commercial refrigerator indicates that there’s a refrigerant leak or the unit has poor air ventilation. It could also be as simple as having dirty fans and filters that need to be cleaned immediately or gaskets that are already worse for wear. Be sure to check if the defrost cycle is set up correctly before having it checked by a professional.
