Freezer Rooms Evaporator Coil Frozen Repair for Food Factories in Kraaifontein
Evaporator Coil Frozen in a freezer room is one of the most disruptive faults a food factory in Kraaifontein can face. Booked as a urgent callout, it normally reaches a Kraaifontein site within 90–180 min. Our technician works through the electrical, refrigerant and airflow side of the fault in turn, then proves the repair.
Symptoms
What you may be observing
Solid ice block across the evaporator
No airflow reaching the cabinet
