If your refrigerator is running constantly, making unusual noises, or struggling to maintain the correct temperature, it is often signalling an underlying issue that requires professional attention. These symptoms may point to problems such as;
1. Runs Constantly
If your commercial refrigerator never seems to shut off, it may be struggling due to dirty condenser coils, airflow restrictions, failing components, or refrigerant issues. Continuous operation increases energy costs and accelerates wear.
2. Inconsistent or Rising Temperature
When a unit struggles to hold temperature, food safety and product quality are at risk. This can indicate thermostat problems, sensor failures, airflow blockages, or compressor issues.
3. Unusual or Loud Noises
Grinding, rattling, buzzing, or knocking sounds are often early signs of motor, fan, or compressor problems. Ignoring these noises can lead to sudden equipment failure.
4. Excessive Frost or Ice Buildup
Ice accumulation inside the unit or on evaporator coils often points to defrost system failures, door seal issues, or humidity problems. This reduces cooling efficiency and airflow.
5. Leaking Water or Moisture
Water pooling around the unit may be caused by clogged drain lines, defrost issues, or damaged door gaskets. Left unresolved, leaks can cause floor hazards and internal damage.
