Industry context
Butcheries
Downtime in butcheries is measured in lost trading hours, not just parts. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
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 display refrigerator 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.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your display refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes not cooling.
