How Walk-in Freezer Repair works
One of our customer care executives will answer your call and take down your address. We service all areas in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, FL. You may tell us what’s wrong with the freezer. Our technician will carry the necessary tools along to fix the problem the same day.
Hiring us can be beneficial for your business because we don’t take much time to fix the problem. Our technician won’t hamper your business. You may need to shift the inventories in the walk-in freezer elsewhere while the technician works. Renting another freezer for a few hours can prevent the foods and drinks from becoming stale.
A technician will arrive at your store at your preferred time. He will listen to your complaint in detail and then inspect the freezer. It hardly takes a few minutes to find out the main cause of the problem. Here are the problems that we usually encounter and the walk-in freezer repair techniques that we follow:
Frost buildup
Frost buildup is a common problem in walk-in freezers. It indicates that the temperature inside the freezer isn’t stable. This may cause foods and drinks to melt and then refreeze again. It makes them unsafe for consumption. Don’t delay calling us because you will eventually have to throw away the foods and drinks that go bad due to this frost buildup problem.
Our technician will first check the humidity level of the freezer. He will then inspect the freezer seals because, in most cases, the seals wear down over time. We can fix the gasket and seal the freezer to make sure it doesn’t build up frost again.
Inconsistent temperature
In addition to frost buildup, the inconsistent temperature is another reason why your walk-in freezer may not cool down your food and drinks properly. Inconsistent temperature doesn’t take place due to voltage fluctuations, as many people think. It’s a misconception. Instead, the sensors don’t work as they should. Once the sensors fail to control the temperature, you will notice the freezer not cooling quickly.
A Belco walk-in freezer repair expert will open the freezer and take out the sensors. He will test it with some of the advanced tools that he carries. This should tell him whether it’s possible to repair the sensors or replace them. Sometimes, the repair cost is almost similar to the price of a new pair of sensors. In such cases, we always recommend replacing them. We can source the sensors and install them within one business day.
Noisy freezers
Does your walk-in freezer make hissing noises occasionally? It is not something that you should take lightly. The freezer’s fan, compressor, or drain line may be the reason for the noise. We can’t tell you the exact cause of the problem over the phone unless a technician checks the freezer thoroughly. Usually, the fan wears down after a few years. It either needs oiling, or we may need to change its bearing. We will test the freezer after we finish replacing the bearing and oiling the fan. The freezer should work like before.
Leaking water
Old insulation often causes the freezer’s temperature to drop. Thus, it cannot cool the foods and drinks properly. Soon, you will notice the freezer leaking water from the bottom. This can also happen due to broken freezer seals. Our technician will check both the insulation and the freezer seal before determining how to provide the best walk-in freezer repair solution. We try to fix the problem as quickly as possible so that you can keep your business running.
FAQs
Q: The foods inside my walk-in freezer smell. Is something wrong?
A: It may very well be because of the fluctuating temperature. Alternatively, it can also be the freezer’s condenser. It’s best to go and check the freezer instead of guessing what can cause the problem. We will repair the problematic part and ensure that foods don’t smell anymore.
Q: Do I need to call you after defrosting the freezer in case of frost buildup?
A: That’s not necessary. We believe that the sooner you call us, the quicker we can repair the freezer. The more you delay, the more you hamper your business. We can find out the problem even if there is frost inside the freezer.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Our services come with a warranty. If you notice a problem related to the part that we had repaired within the warranty period, don’t hesitate to call. We will repair the part without charging a dime.
