Stop the fault returning

Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so not cooling is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your commercial refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes not cooling.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of not cooling in butcheries cold chains.
