Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the walk-in cooler under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so leaking water is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in cooler to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in hotels cold chains.
