Prevention
Stop the fault returning
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 freezer 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.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in freezer to catch wear before it becomes not cooling.
