Industry context
Hotels
Downtime in hotels is measured in lost trading hours, not just parts. Hospitality cold chain across kitchens, bars and banquet storage. That context decides how urgently we treat not cooling.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so not cooling is flagged before stock is lost.
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many not cooling callouts.
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 not cooling is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
