Not Cooling rarely announces itself gently, and in a supermarket in Sea Point the consequences are measured in spoiled stock. Because it is critical, our Atlantic Seaboard technicians prioritise it, usually inside 60–90 min. We isolate the fault, correct it with matched parts and confirm the unit holds temperature under normal load.

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