Stop the fault returning
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of not cooling in catering companies cold chains.
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so not cooling is flagged before stock is lost.
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 freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
