Prevention
Stop the fault returning
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.
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so not cooling is flagged before stock is lost.
