A commercial refrigerator is an essential piece of business equipment, but it can go on the fritz and stop working due to malfunctioning components or when maintenance is required. Even the most durable and reliable brands of commercial refrigeration may experience the need for repairs. One of the quickest and safest resolutions for avoiding a cooling catastrophe is to rent a walk-in refrigerator in Charleston SC. A walk-in cooler will save your business from financial risks that may be associated with lost food, sales and business.
Renting a walk-in refrigerator provides a unique service for individuals, restaurants, and business people who need temporary cooling to protect food. Walk-in coolers can operate with the power gained from a generator and can be used without an electrical power source. This is a perfect replacement for use during a loss of power. If you need to replace parts on your original fridge and need a place to store the food during the emergency, you can have a walk-in cooler delivered and set up at a convenient time. A walk-in cooler can be dropped off at a particular location and picked up after the broken or faulty refrigerator has been repaired. Common refrigerator problems can be easily assessed and resolved while the temporary walk-in refrigerator is cooling your food.
1. Does your unit have power?
Check the basics quickly. For example, is the unit’s switch on? Is the power cord correctly plugged into the outlet? Is the unit receiving power from the outlet? Check the outlet to determine that a fuse is not blown and that the outlet itself is operating properly.
2. Temperature Issues
Is the unit cold enough? Is it pressed too close to the wall? If so, it may not have enough air circulation. Is the temperature gauge accurate? Use a thermometer to check the temperature. The gauge may be faulty, which is easy to replace. A vent could also be blocked, or the compressor may need to be cleaned or possibly replaced. Check the drain lines, have the charge, the sub-cooling, and the pressures checked by a certified technician. If the problem is simply a lighting issue, replace any faulty light bulbs with fresh bulbs that are verified by the manufacturer.
Regular maintenance is essential and can keep your cooling unit operating at its best for many years. Check the warranty and be careful while troubleshooting that you don’t void the warranty. There are many unexpected situations when a temporary refrigeration system or portable walk-in cooler would be the best option. Minimize costly damage and wasted food by renting a temporary cooling system.
