Stop the fault returning
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of refrigerant leak in butcheries cold chains.
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so refrigerant leak is flagged before stock is lost.
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many refrigerant leak callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the cold room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
