Prevention
Stop the fault returning

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