Prevention
Stop the fault returning

Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so refrigerant leak is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in cooler to catch wear before it becomes refrigerant leak.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of refrigerant leak in food factories cold chains.
