Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the commercial refrigerator under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so leaking water is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your commercial refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in restaurants cold chains.
