When a walk-in cooler stops cooling it can be a disaster for the restaurant, the market, or even the flower shop. Of course, every walk-in cooler should be checked annually by Ross Mechanical Inc. for efficient and continuous operation. The walk-in cooler has many parts that can be troublesome without proper maintenance. An annual check-up will reveal any issues that needs to be addressed. Often, minor adjustments, or better defrosting can save the owner money on the energy bill. Better protection for the food and longevity of flowers can be provided. Walk In Coolers in Kansas City can provide this service and instruct you in any ongoing maintenance that the owner needs to perform. There are several parts and systems that can malfunction in a cooler:
- Fungal growth is a most undesirable problem. Molds can grow in walk-ins because there is plenty of moisture. Molds can cause health issues, and they can spoil your stored food items. Flowers can look bad, and the cook handles mold without recognizing it.
- Walk-ins may not cool properly. Poor cooling is caused by many issues, such as dirty condenser or evaporators. Improper cooling is a problem because this condition will cause food to spoil if not detected in time.
- .Pressure problems, such as low or high suction pressure can lead to frost build-up and decrease the efficiency of the walk-in.
- If the cooler cannot reach the temperature set by the thermostat, then the compressor will not cut off. The evaporator can not defrost under this condition. The thermostat being set too low will cause this, and refrigerant can get back to the compressor which results in compressor failure.
- The fans should run continuously to help the defrosting process.
- The coil in the evaporator may need cleaning or replacing.
