Symptoms
What you may be observing
Unit runs but cabinet temperature keeps climbing
Product warming, condensation on packaging
Compressor may run continuously without effect
No cold air reaching the storage space
Possible Causes
Diagnosed on site by our technicians
- C01
Compressor failure or inefficient pumping
- C02
Refrigerant charge low from a leak

The Reyds Solution
Our technician arrives with manifold gauges and a leak detector, diagnoses the root cause on site, and restores cooling fast — recharging refrigerant, clearing the condenser, or replacing a failed compressor with a unit matched to your cabinet.
Industry context
Food Factories
Food Factories depend on predictable temperatures for product quality and compliance. Process-scale refrigeration underpinning production lines. That context decides how urgently we treat not cooling.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the freezer room 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 freezer room to catch wear before it becomes not cooling.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of not cooling in food factories cold chains.
