Cold Rooms Not Cooling Repair for Warehouses in Gordon's Bay
When a cold room starts showing not cooling in Gordon's Bay, the stock behind it and the trading day ahead are both at risk. Because it is critical, our Helderberg 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
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.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so not cooling is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
