Stop the fault returning
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of evaporator coil frozen in warehouses cold chains.
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so evaporator coil frozen is flagged before stock is lost.

Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
