Reyds classifies it as standard, with a typical response of 60–120 min across Cape Town. We arrive with the instruments and common parts this fault needs, fix the cause and verify the cabinet holds.

The Reyds Solution
We trace the noise to its source, tighten or isolate vibrating parts, replace a worn fan motor, and assess compressor health — quieting the unit before a minor noise becomes a major failure.
Industry context
Butcheries
Butcheries depend on predictable temperatures for product quality and compliance. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your display refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes unusual noise.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of unusual noise in butcheries cold chains.
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so unusual noise is flagged before stock is lost.
